In New York
GIGS NEA
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct 23.-No night club in New York is smoother than the Rockefellers' Rainbow room. For ex- ample, the elevator cars which shoot up 800 feet in 40 seconds toward the skyhigh salon, will not ride gad- flies in civilian clothes. These verti- cal expresses are reserved exclusive ly for boiled shirts and Vionnets and not even a Rockefeller has dar- ed to buck the rule. There are other cars however (not freight) for men in tweeds and ladies in afternoon frockS.
 As it happens, the National roadcasting Company's studios are in the same building and the regu- lations for its elevator service are just as strict. Radio performers must take the personnel car. Jascha Heifetz, the violin genius, discover ed this to his great sorrow not so long agao. Virtuoso HeifetZ, so the story goes, rushed in with @ violin case under his arm ten minutes be- fore his program was scheduled to go on the air. The Roxy-rigid ele- vator runner spied the fiddle and told the great musician to take a rear car. "But I'm Heifetz," the violinist explained, land for Gods sake, I'm in a hurry"
 "Take the rear car," the motor man in the left retorted, T would mt care if you were Rubinoff!"/ Il

 Sing For Their Supper.
 Unfortunate celebrities often have to work for their champagne cock tails at after-theatre parties. Only the other night, at a duplex pent- house celebration for something ox other, Paul Whitman dropped in to say hello and was held captive long enough to lead the orchestra; George .Gershwin earned his supper with a piano rendition of "Rhap- sody in Blue" and Kay Swift, the tune-smithie, paid with a song of her own. They should be getting overtime pay.

The plucky Miss Symington doesn't need the money; she entertains in the midnight spots because its a pleasant way of dis posing of her vocal talents. She refuses to be a home girl in stuffy drawing room and at various times in her life, hired herself to a can ming factory, has punched a time clock, hulled berries, labelled cans;

Selected Poem
MOON ECLIPSE

(By Fitzhugh L. Minnigerode in The New York
 .F. Times)
 She rose full proud as ever, stared about And all the little, timid stars went out Then sun and earth matched a conspiracy To teach her ladyship some modesty. Deliberately the earth took up her place Between the sun and moon and yelled the face That but moment past had beamed so bright. The little stars, exulting at her plight, Trooped out again and leased and twitted her And, boasting, claimed to nave outwitted her. Slowly the shadow of the earth withdrew And, ono by one. the little stars did too.

 German protests against the radical activities of Martha Dodd, daughter of the American am- bassador in Berlin, seem to have been effective. "The Anvil" Q ':Proletarian Fiction Magazine" advertised in advance, publication of 8 Communist Love Story" by Martha Dodd called "Red Wed- ding Morning" But the story was never published.

the interesting rib effect Of the
