Young Singer
At Hangar

It's happened again. Beaming
Bill Levy, genius Of the Hangar
Club over at the Airport, has
found a new protege.
This time it is a singing waiter,
one Roy Laurence, whom critics
have confidently called a second
Caruso." Laurence came to the
Hangar as a waiter several weeks
ago, unobtrusive and apparently
untalented, and worked there
until last Thursday before any
body discovered that he sang
much better than he balanced a
tray of seafood, although he is
no amateur at the latter.
Promptly Beaming Bill, aided
and abetted by his partner
brother, Bernie, hustled his
protege out onto the dance floor,
held a little conference with
Cecil Ellington and stood back
among the guests while Laurence
brought down the house with
three encores. Now he is regu-
larly on the Hangar program, al.
though he has not forsaken his
dish-toting, which, he claims, is
excellent exercise for his pipes
and other organs so valuable to
a singer.

MayfIoWer

"Let the rain pitter-patter. for it
really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray:
Long as we are in the lounge
It's a lovely day."
So sings Sid Owen, in the May
flowers lounge, defying whatever
wet elements may be outside and,
incidentally, paraphrasing tn e
current top Hat" music to de-
scribe the joy of being nicely dry
and nicely entertained when it's
raining outside.
Whether it rains or the sun
shines these days doesn't seem to
matter at the Mayflower. The
cocktail and supper dance spot is
patronized equally as well, no
matter what the weather. And
the guests there promptly forget
about such mundane inconveni-
ences as rain, umbrellas and the
like.
In addition to several songs
dealing with the weather, you will
also hear the Sidney orchestra
playing music from top Hat"
and several tunes brought back
from Europe by Manager R. L.
Polio.
