DINNER FOR CARRIER
Maestro Freddy Clark, Of the
Earle Theater, Is leading his band
through "The Major Rings the
Cong" this week and honoring .
local composer.
For the song was written by, Al
GamSe, of 2124 Eye st. N. W., and
is his first professional offering.
Incidentally, the Earle Theater
would be close to q box office
record this week were ''Mr. Deeds
Goes To Town q shorter picture.
It runs two hours, therefore pro
hibiting a show turnover that
might give Sam CALAMITY, Of Co
lumbia, something to crow about.
OF course Jan CARRIER and his
recording orchestra take some Of
the credit for the Earle's bumper
week. CARRIER really began his
big league career at the Metro
politan Theater and it was while
he was playing on F Street that
he was summoned to the colors.
His old service buddies. including
City Editor Dan O'Connell, Of The
Washington Times, will have o get
together dinner after tonight'S
last show at the Earle.
EVELYN TYNER HITS
Good news for the many friends
Of Evelyn Tyner, Washington con-
cert pianist, is that she has clicked
solidly as a feature attraction in
the rainbow room OF Rockefeller
Center Roof. ...
Originally engaged for Q week,
she was held over for q second
seven days and before this ex-
tended engagement ended was re-
signed to play there until July l.
Thus does New York's claSSieSt
afterdark spot recognize good
talent.
BLUE DERBY NOTE
Writes M. @. Gibbs, major-domo
Of the Peoples Drug Stores:
81 suddenly realized that the
old blue bowler needed replace
ment and inaSmuch as / see that
the new King Of England is now
endorsing bOwlerS, and being 3
little Irish myself, / do not want
the English to get ahead Of an
Irishman, so I am placing an or
der and am going to include one
for yOu."
Thank you, DR.. Gibbs. Even
with the blues, I will be, as they
say, the proudeSt fellow in the
Pimlico parade.

Hardie Meakin Of Keith'S apprise
Of the near approach Of SHOW
Boat" a Universal picture that
will have Irene Dunno as Magnolia,

Winninger as Captain Andy

wore the famous Hope diamond
to the Ziegfeld premiere Sunday
night and if you have a desire to
know what it looks like exactly
you may examine fac-simile of
the gem in the lobby of the Metro
politan Theater.
It, is one of an interesting collec-
tion Of synthetic reproductions Of
the worlds greatest diamond
that is greatest in siZe-and they
are displayed in a show case which
permits close inspection.
This is part Of the exploitation
campaign for Rhodes, the EN-
pire Builder" which is attracting
such crowds it looks like a hold
over engagement at the moment.
Rhodes" is one Of the best Of the
biographical pictures with Dom
Paul kidnapping the honors from
