The Washington times., 1935-11-20

Maryland CluD GdTQeQS, ILlhI
popular spot on the Marlboro
Pike, contributes the news Of
the week by announcing that q
new orchestra will open Satur-
day. And, for the first time
since the club started, the band
will be composed Of Washington
men. Jimmy Harris will be the
new maestro. A finer man could
not have been chosen for the
job. Personally he is swell and
as a musician, well, everyone re-
members his guitar playing with
Pete Macias' Heigh-Ho orchestra
last year and with the May
flower lounge boys this winter.
Jimmy has collected for the
personnel of his new outfit some
of the best musicians in town.
In his sax group he mas q team
that needs no introduction. Louis
williams, Francis Cruitt and
Eddie Pierce have played to-
gether for long time and know
the business. Charlie Jeeter, an ex.
cellent arranger, will play piano.
Jimmy Baden is the trumpeter.
Irving Whiteneck, who played
bass fiddle in the National Sym
phony, will handle that instrll'
ment, and AL Spieldock will do
the drumming. This should be
winning combination.
Ballet Russo
Sunday night at the Troika
was a little bit more Russian
than ever. The National Theater
that night was the scene of the
Ballet Russo and Immediately
after the performance the whole
troupe dropped into the Troika.
Karavaieff was in his glory as
he stepped out to meet many Of
his old friends whom he had
danced with in previous years.
MasSine, maitre de ballet, asked
him to dance and for one solid
hour this Russian star stayed on
the floor dancing every imagin-
abel step. Karavaieff himself
worked with MaSsine and knew
lust what he liked. After the
hours work Karavaieff was
really ready for bed
La Paree of late has been the
newSiest place in town. What
with their amateur night. mid
night skyrides, huge floor shows
and what not, it is difficult to
convey just what is going on.
However, we do know that a min.
iature circus is coming to this
popular dine-dancery Frid ay.
Clowns acrobatS, tumblers an d
even wild animals will go through
their antics at the regular floor
show time. Emory Daugherty and
his boys will dress UP and prob.
ably will parade, and it's rumored
that pink lemonade and popcorn
will be on sale. 1t is a novel idea
and should click.
If you think that Matt Wind
sor can play an accordion you
should hear what enanateS from
the organ in his new Club Volga
Boatman cocktail lounge when his
fingers touch the keyboard. 1t
is really too beautiful to describe.
And occasionally Michel Michon.
the baritone in the floor show
upstairs, comes down and sings
a song or two. The combination
Is really something. In fact. it
is too grand to describe. This
musical treat is enough in itself
to draw the average person to
this nook at No. Thomas Circle,
but If anyone is a bit skeptical
and likes atmosphere, you will
really find it here.
Looking for Talent
AS for the more important con-
test, the search for a girl singer
to work with Harry Albert, here
are some more facts and figures:
Twenty-Five girls tried out Mon
day. More than that number are
scheduled for tomorrow. Out Of
the twenty-five, six possibilities
were selected. Two at time,
these six are auditioning before
the guests in the room from last
night through Thursday. Those
selected tomorrow will also audi
ton at night on Friday and Sat
urday. Then, out of the entire
group, about four girls will be Sc
lected as finalistS to appear at
the very gala Discovery" party
