If every task came as easy as
deciding where to go on Saturday
night in Washington, your column
mist would consider himself citi-
zen of a veritable Utopia. It's a
pleasurable assignment to narrats
on the possibilities this Sabbath
eve holds in store, so tune in.
We're off once more on a flier
of our own and if we can't make
you book passage, something's rot
ten some place other than in
Spain.
First stops on the night club
limited will be at the hotels. A
general word to include all of
them would be to say that no mat
ter which you choose, you're
bound to come away feelingly
you've had an evening we'll spent.
The beautiful Mayflower Lounge,
symbol Of cool serenity with its
gorgeous water fountain, offers
Sidney's melodierS playing soft
music with occasional obligatoeS
by the four singing violins. Lovers
of this type of soft lights and
sweet music" effect could find no
better place than the Mayflower
in which to sit back and enjoy
air cooling, an extra special fea-
ture Of Mayflower hospitality.
Touring the hostelrieS, we next
come to the Shoreham Terrace
where we last announced the ap-
pearance Of the RusSo-Puerto
Rican dance pair, Tarrant and Da-
cita. This smooth duo, accuS-
toned to strutting their graceful
steps before royalty in all parts
of the world, will present COM
pletely novel program dedicated
to Latin-American legations in
Washington.
AS a contrast to the usual ball
room exhibition routine, Tarrant
and Dacita will interpret repre-
sentative dances from Spain, Mex
leo, Argentina, and Cuba with all
the fiery rhythm of the Latin
races inculcated.

The Roof at the POwhatan
Hotel is an ideal refuge for q
splendid Saturday night. Nat
uralIy air cooled, the atmosphere
spread meath the starry blue
skies is inducement enough. But
for sheer romantic entertain
ment and dancing, we recon-
mend the Roof with Pete MaciaS
as your orchestral host. The
evening will be far too young
by the time it's through, and
you'll be requesting more tunes
from the genial maestro by the
time the Sunday morning cur
few rings.
If you're looking for a cocktail
lounge that's got cit" by all means
don't overlook the Hi-Hat at the
Ambassador. Besides serving
drinks of the coolest variety, the
Hi-Hat has engaged the Paradise
Islanders, Hawaiian quartet, to
provide background. The back
ground is SuperfluouS, we think,
cause you can always have con-
genial time just slipping and loung-
ing and listening to Kitty sing her
ditties. We mean Kitty SimonS, of
course. the little girl with world
full of personality.
August is the month Of dog days,
so our almanac informs us, but it
makes no difference at the Rain
bow Room Of the Hamilton Hotel
where a combination of air condi-
tioning, no cover or minimum
charge, free parking, excellent
cocktails, and Moe Beers music
keep the guests always satisfied
and happy.
A little story about Moe Baer has
reached our ears. It seems that
Moe was accused of being a %"
man, nothing unusual in this day
of alphabetical titles. He was in
itialed thusly, so we are informed,
because of his uncanny ability to
name the alma mater of any
dancer by his style. Moe has been
