Gardner Moore's Shoreham Terrace,
Ford Minnick's Lounge Riviera, Dan
Wathey's Roger Smith roof garden,
Dick Buffers Rainbow ROOM Oscars
Hi-Hat. the Mayflower Lounge,
Ramons Maryland Club Gardens
and lot of other places. 1t is all
very fine indeed
Maybe it's the Worlds Fair.
That's being blamed for everything
on Broadway. from the condition of
business to jay-walking.
Monday night found a whole
slew of the Warrenton crowd on
hand up at the Lounge Riviera
at Hotel 2400 on hand, Pete
Macias suspects, to see if the local
mob planned any retaliation for
that small, informal reception given
Igor CaSsini Saturday night. 1t
was that same night at the Lounge
Riviera that a lad-about-town who
likes to make merry won the giggle
water at the champagne interlude"
and then worried himself into a
frenzy for fear the date he had later
in the evening would hear of it and
know he had another date earlier in
the evening. Also the same night
that one of the villages best-known
glamour girls did a nip-up in the
midst of some kind of shag and
fell fiat on-well, she did not fall
prone, which means face down.
Carlos and Ramon, those en-
tertainers who already have be-
come favorites at the Madrillon,
have little problem They know
hundreds of Spanish, Mexican,
South American songs. But WASH
ingtonians don't; so all the requests
are for the same few numbers over
and over again. I'VE do La Palo-
ma a hundred times tonight, I
think" Ramon tor maybe it is Car
los) means sadly. :. A fellow who
has heard of those boasts of his
golfing prowess made by Johnny
Shaw of the Mayfower Lounge crew
is pondering. He is wondering what
Mr.. Shaw was doing the other day
about Is yards off the No. tee at
National Women's Country Club,
down in ditch apparently murder
ing snakes. Good listening . :.
Pete Macias' Lounge Riviera crew
toying with the oldies Penelope
Ford doing her favorite Funny Lit
tie Snow Man" at the Metronome
Room . Dick Koons and his
Mayfower Lounge "glee club" on
Back to Back" from Irving Berlins
Second Fiddle" music Larry
Kuni at the Hi-Hat singing almost
anything.
Aside to the Madrillon's Mary
La Mari: If that was your idea,
to spell it Marry La Marie, have
another idea. If it wasn't. well,
all right then Something very
tricky with hoops is one of the
three bright contributions of the
Six Graces to the new Lotus show
Lass who should know better
dances by at the Madrillon and
calls Hey, If you have any inf1u-
ence with this orchestra will you
get 'em to play Crime and Punish
ment'?' Then she is very unhappy
with us because we do not know
right away, just like flash, that
she means Let the Punishment Fit
the Crime" And it was at the
Lotus the other night that a tune
was dedicated to pair celebrating
second wedding anniversary, the
boys thoughtfully picking for this
festive occasion a little ditty enti-
tied THE Masquerade Is Over" &.
The Vanettes, at the Bamboo Gar
dens, feature some clever doings
with dolls but what we can't figure
out is why they do the finale to
open the show. At any rate it looks
like a floor show finale; the lassies
beat drums and the band plays
Dixie" and "Stars and Stripes For
ever" And some night without
thinking Al Norton is going to walk
out waving an American flag right
then Mischa, the Troikas head
waiter, has just come back from
some vacationing in New York, to
put our mind at rest. He says
"schottische" is the correct spell
ing and we should stop worrying.
And if a fellow who was captain
for the Car doesn't know a schot-
tische when he sees one no one
does.
