tors who thrilled to last nights
performance of the -Four Flying
Flemings at the Shoreham Terrace
was lone English sparrow who
sat and trilled at the aerialists
from his perch on a section Of the
green wooden rail which girts the
terrace properties.
AS though envying those four
humans their ability to fly with
out feathers, our wee sparrow
friend cooked his head at their
antics from a point so close to is
we could have reached out and
clutched him
1t is our SuppoSition he wouldn't
have cared one way or the other
If we had-he was that morti-

Known as Mac" to thousands
who frequent the Hamilton Hotels
Rainbow Room, a dapper and dy-
manic IriShman by the name Of
Patrick McGroary has overseen
the Rainbow Room and ministered
to its guests since that spots in
ception.
In the estimation of the aStute
Richard S. Butler, Mac" has seen
more Tom CollinSeS change hands
than any other person east Of the
Mississippi if not in the entire
country. And Mr.. Butler, who
manages the hotel itself, is in a
position to know these things. Like
the we'll known brown-derbied
Happy Warrior, he's the man who
"looks at the record"
To the list OF celebrated quick
change artists must of necessity
be added the names of the mem
bers Of Bill Strickland's Capitol
ians who play the music you dance
to at the Lotus Restaurant. These
boys have without doubt changed
uniforms oftener than any other
similar gang in the country and
at present are bedecked in their
newest creations consisting OF blue
jackets and white trousers.
These outfits coincide with the
newly installed decorative scheme
at the Lotus and blend nicely
with the type of musical arrange
ments these boys uncork. In No
vember of this year, Bill will have
completed three solid years at
the Lotus which, we believe, con
stitutes something OF a record.

Powhatan Hotel Manager Ar
thur Harnett calls the attention OF
all who will be his patrons tonight
that they may expect to horn IN
on some first rate entertainment
which ordinarily does not appear
at his Sky-high dance palace
What he has in mind, no doubt, Is
the display of fireworks which
will issue from the Monument
Grounds in honor Of 1ndepen'
dence Day.
Horatius at the bridge had no
better view of the water than will
Powhatan patrons have Of the lire
works. Hold your hats, every
body.
On the other hand, those souls
who are not bang+minded will do
well to HE themselves out to Grit
fifth Farms on the Marlboro Pike
where they may partake in q lei
surely fashion of some very fine
seafood washed down by the music
of Raymond and his enterprising
HawaiianS.
Anything in the fireworks line
at Griffith Farms tonight will be
of the impromptu variety and
probably won't make much noise
anyway.
We have a tragedy to record
in our world Of quick music and
flashing feet. Charlotte. Of the
comedy dance team Of Charlotte
and Tinker, which is scheduled
to wind up it's stay at Milton
Barrett's Dude Ranch tonight,
sprained her petite ankle last
night in execution Of one Of the
nifty little sequences this pair
presents. We hope the tragedy
is a minor one and will in no
way disrupt the smooth precision
of Charlotte's twinkling bipeds.
Milton Barrett, incidentally,
wants it known that he is not the
one to hold too severely to con-
