vorite blues singer, is still getting
much applause.
The Earl Lindsay Revue Of 1885
ends its second week at the Lotus
tonight. Nine girls are featured in
the line and their routines are
good, but costumes not so good.
It is a shame that Earl Lindsay,
as great a producer as he Is, can
not outfit his talented girls any
better. But be that as it may,
they work wonders with what
they have. Paul La Varre and his
brother, in a sensational hand-to-
hand balancing act; de Counpi
and Marie, dance team who ap-
peared at the Worlds Fair in Chi.

dancer, round out the list Of prin.
cipalS in this hour show.
BY Accident
Gilfred Brown, handsome young
tenor and guitarist Of the South
Sea Islanders, got into the musi.
cal profession quite by accident.
When he was Is he was working
his way across the Pacific and
was thrown into the brig for a
minor infraction Of the ships
rules. They told him before he
could get out he had to learn to
play a uke. He borrowed one and
went to work with the result that
on landing in America he left the
ship and joined a group Of travel
ing HawaiianS. And here he Is
with Gordon Chad at the AmhaS-
sador's Hi-Hat.
The busiest man in the Troika
these days is Leon RuSlender, the
high checker. His job is to check
every tray OF food and liquor that
leaves from the kitchen and bar
to the Troika proper. His eye is
that of an eagle, the terror OF
every waiter. His roar upon seeing
at rare intervals a tray with an in
artistically placed sprig Of parsley
or a steak that has stopped Siz-
zling can even be heard dimly
way down in the lobby. And every
miscreant, thus laden, knows bet
ter than to try and pass.
It is doubtful if any night club
mogul has any more friends than
does Pete Macias, the owner Of
Heigh-Ho. He is constantly kept
busy running from table to table
sitting and chatting with his
friends. And downstairs it is the
same. The Tap Room is con-
stant meeting place for Pete and
his buddies and they say he is
losing a bit of avoirdupois run.
ming up and down stairs. Three
Maids and a Mike supply the
entertainment in the Heigh-Ho
proper this week. while Warner
Kennedy and his piano charm the
patrons in the Tap Room.
Nice Team
What a gorgeous creature this

And no less amazing is her dane.
ing with Shalita. This duo are
really swell when it comes to ball
room routines. Even Moe Baer
likes them, and that is something.
Russ Cullen is still grooming away
in the good old Cullen style and
Frank Flanagan is lending a help
ing hand with the vocalS. In case
you want to see Guy Scott when
you go up to Club Habana, you
probably will find him in the
Caribbean Room playing that
game Of his on the funny looking
table.
Had lunch with Happy Walker
yesterday and we were guests Of
C. j. Cook and Frank Orbello, of
the Hotel Continental down near
the Union Station. These two men
plan to open room in their hotel
New Year eve and thereafter to
use it for hanquetS and large
parties. The room is excellently
designed for such purposes and
the party they have planned for
New Year eve should be q WOW.
A big floor show, large dinner and
Happy Walkers music are tenn
porarily on the program with a
few more additions to be made
later. This plan should serve as
an excellent introduction to the
washington public for the room
