Popular Over Air
So great was the response to
Matt Windsor'S inaugural radio
program last Friday night over
WMAL that he has been signed
for an indefinite number of weeks.
On this air program the whole
floor show at the Club Volga Boat
man is broadcast, with the Rus
sian Gypsy Chorus holding the
spotlight. And people in the room
:AlSo get the benefit of an extra
show that night, as everything
can be heard right from where
they are sitting.
The new cocktail room will be
opened very shortly. This spot,
which is located where the famous
old Chanticler was, has all been
repainted with attractive muralS
that are sure to appeal to every
one. The carpet is being laid to-
day Ind by Friday, Matt probably
VIII be at the organ to greet you.
AS almost everyone knows, the
Penthouse in Baltimore is one Of
the most popular spots in the
Monumental City. Well, the other
evening your correspondent drop
ped in there and was impressed
by the congeniaity of Husk
O'Hare and his orchestra. They
call themselves the Genial Gentle
men Of the Air and they are Just
that. He Fsked If I had any re-
quests and when I mentioned q
few tunes that he did not have,
he showed me his typewriter list
and said take your pick. Service
is what that is.
Lou HurwitZ, manager of the
Cotton Club, has been down in the

Slowly but surely the famous old
smile is coming back as he is be-
ginning to see people return to his
popular Harlem spot. Why they
should come back is no mystery to
me. There are very few places in
this town that offer the caliber
Of show that he does. And besides
there is Tommy MyleS and his or
chestra, who are really a singing
band. But they can also play
sweet music. Just ask for your re-
quests and he will play them.
Most of the pieces he has are spe-
cial arrangements.
Any evening when the May
| flower Longe'S Harriet is having a
brief vacation from her cigarette
selling and being-the-life-of-th the
party business, you probably will
find her behind the scenes some
where practicing her dance rou-
tines. You know she formerly was
an Earl Carroll girl and was also
featured with Nils Granlund. This
attractive young lady is also going
to business school and she can now
type so words a minute, which
may or may not be good. I know
nothing of this art.
When in the Lounge some eve
ming step up and ask Carr Van
Sickler, the pianist, to play the

Harmon and his boys. 1t bears

Cars new serious tune, as yet
