.OOth Year Is
Marked by
Montreal

MONTREAL, Quebec.-Only a
tiny Indian village known as
Hochelaga when first glimpsed by
Jacques Cartier in 1925, Montreal
this summer is celebrating its
400th birthday as the sixth largest
city in North America and the
second largest seaport in the
Western World.
In place of the green forests
and unfenced fields which marked
the site when Chief Agouhanna
and his braves of the Huron Iro
quois welcomed Captain Cartier
on his second voyage to New
France, mellowed churches and
quaint twisting streets, mingling
with the imposing new notes of
a modern city, today distinguish
Montreal.
Only a scattering few redmen
unwitting1y participated in the
founding ceremony when Cartier
first set foot on the st. Lawrence
shore at Hochelaga. Almost $50
years later, in 1880, there were
only 1000 souls in Montreal, when
ancient St. Gabriel Street was
laid out.

was once presented with an I'M
usual gift, a fine race horse. On
the same day Mr.. Goodacre also
became a proud grandfather. So
what more fitting cognomen for
the Goodacre thoroughbred than
Grandacre.
And what a horse that Grand
acre was. Won seven races in one
season, and made many. many
friends for the Goodacre patrons
who were betting on the filly
owned by the proprietor of their
favorite eating places.
Well, today the Grandacre Club,
named after that famed horse,
strives, too, to give its patrons a
great run for their money in the
form of a truly interesting atmo-
sphere, unusual decorations, and
grand music by Eddie Fern and
his 100 per cent union orchestra.

Miss Portar first became inter

really master the dance she was
advised, one must have real bull

Miss Portar also features caStanet

rMaryIand Gardens

It is true that the crystal bar
at Maryland Club Gardens gen
orally is associated with the win
ter part Of the club. However,
in case anyone does not know,
this beautiful bar is open at all
times. And Ernest, who helped
to make it famous last year, is
mixing them in no uncertain
fashion. People marvel at the
way he gets the exact amount Of
every substance in glass down
to the last drop. And especially
effective is Ernest if you hear
him singing Stay as Sweet as
You Are"-his theme song.
This week, on the platform
across the pool from the terrace,
is the lovely and graceful Mary
Chrysler, who perhaps has caused
more comment among the night
folk gentry in this town than
any other single dancer. Sup
porting her is Marjorie King,
youthful prima donna who only
recently starred in Going Ma
tive" the all-Washington revue.
Miss King is by far the best
songstress ever to appear at this
r ular suburban spot.

It's a delightful evening ride
down the Mt. Vernon Highway to
that popular resort, River Bend.
Situated as it is, overlooking the

river breezes, this spot has proven
most popular these hot afternoons
and evenings.
Delightful, really delightful, and
so very soothing to the senses is
this charming place, where they
believe in serving you the finest
of foods. Real old-fashioned coun-
try dinners, prepared by white
ladies who have never been en-

night spot not to give more than
a very mild couple of whoops
whenever it rains and most roof
garden proprietors start tearing
their hair.
Within the Hangar there's an
other dance floor, with bandstand,
tables and chairs always in readl'
ness for the first splash of rain
and it doesn't take longer than a
split minute or two for a packed
Hangar crowd to move in out OF
the wet on the slightest notice.
Then, when it clears up again, it
takes very little longer for the
mop boys to dry things off, tote
out new tablecloths, and the
horde to again migrate out into
the Airport's refreshing ozone.
Thus those two incredible i'm

when other roofs and beer gar
