Much Spirit Left

4leTe Is quite 3 plC OF holiday
spirit yet about the MayfIower
and its Lounge. Buddy Harmon
and the Sidney musicians have
made a New Year resolution to
play even better than in 1885. The
band is playing two ultra-exclusive
numbers these days, particularly
during the cocktail hour. One is
Amelia" written in honor Of Am
elita Alfaro; the other Is Peggy,
Smile for Me-" composed by Sid
ney himself in honor Of Peggy
Matheson.
Movie Night" went off in its
usual slick form at the Shoreham
Hotel last night, as motion pic
lures were made. Speaking Of
movies, those taken New Year Eve
will be shown Saturday, January
II. Marion wilkins and Jack
Meyers ballroom team continue to
captivate the crowds as do Carl
and Leone Bonner with their
songs.
1t is rather amazing to note
how much more popular. the Dude
Ranch has suddenly gotten since
the opening Of the Black and Gold
Room and the selling of liquor.
The Ryan Twins are headlining
the floor show this week and are
being ably backed up by Jimmy
Staley and Dixie Dyer, the Groom
erS. The orchestra, under the di-
rection Of Dick Hummer, is get.
ting better than ever.
Although they have only been
here a week, the De Espy Trio
have scored heavily. The Lotus
was fortunate in securing these
three. The rest of the show in,
cludes Gates and Claire, tap
dancers Of the oldstyle; Jean
Green, acrobatic star, and the
Lady Mel Mannikins. Bill Strick-
lands Capitolians supply the
music.

gether with Fran Trappe and his
accordion. Jimmy Harris and his
orchestra play for dancing.

young magician, returns to La
Paree after an absence of too
many months. Two young ladies,
Virginia Lee and Henrietta Lor-
raine, do acrobatic and tap work
respectively.
The Club Volga Boatman's
radio program is really giving the
club a name. It is heard weekly
at 1880 p. m. over WRC, and it
is liked because it is different.
Many Of Matt Windsor's artists
take their turn before the mike.
Anna Sablukova sings, Michaeloff
plays violine solos, Mr.. Windsor
himself plays the accordion and
there is always one dance number
by the band to show that they
have dancing in this continental
spot. Radio has attracted many
new guests to this popular Rus
sian spot.
During the fall, the Hangar
Club was operating with nice
crowds then all of sudden Bill
Levy decided to put in q colored
floor show with the result that it
is now one of the most popular
spots in town. It is open all night
and that adds to its popularity.
Duke Eglan and his band supply
the dance music and how!
Johnny Barnes to dance for you
and Leon Brusiloff to play for you
make just about one of the most
perfect combinations you will
want in any afterdark spot, They
are found at the Madrillon in the
Washington Building. Johnny is
now in his seventh or eighth week
and Leon, well he has been there
practically since the place opened.
