Fame awaits some eager lass or
lad tonight. A star is born and all
that. The Roger Smith Hotels
Talent Contest" comes to a close
with a gala battle of the tonsils, a
nonstop vocal derby, a four -cornered
fight to the finish involving a
quartet of young people who would
sing next fall for all corners at the
Cafe Caprice. The Roger Smith S
breeze cooled roof garden is the
arena, the contestants, asking and
giving no quarter, are Maxine
Moore, Dorothy Van, Caroline Wells
and Grant Sherk Stephen LeSieur
and his music makers are all rested
up for the occasion and it should be
quite an affair.
Leon Farber. the Madrillon's S
drummer, was playing like a mad
thipg, whanging the daylights out OF
the various implements of his trade.
What" Leader Carr Van Sickler
was asked, has happened with
Leon? Somebody feed him raw
meat?" Nav" Carr growled. Hugh
Barteman's on vacation and Leon
hasn't got anybody to talk to. He's
paying attention to his work"
Col. Charles Lindbergh, that
aviator fellow, saw the Shoreham
Terrace show the other night. The
show saw him, too. Iris Wayne, the
nimble acrobatic dancer, was SO ex-
cited with the thought of dancing
before such a distinguished audience
that the Lindbergh had no chance to
remain incognito. Iris pointed him
out to everyone she saw. Bee Saxon,
the Capitol Theaters songstress of
the week was at the Shoreham an
other night, but she didn't see the
show. She came too late. She just
agreeably allowed herself to be
abused by a couple of fellows who
thought it was fine night for abus-
ing singers.
Taking a hint from the song
title-"Sing for Your Supper''-the
Lounge Riviera at Hotel 2400 now
lets you dance for your dinner. It's
all because the A. B. c. Board says
a "Champagne Interlude" is fine
sport for dancers, no doubt, but Civ
ing away champagne is against the
law of the land. So Lounge Riviera's S
champagne Interludes" continue
sans the grape :. Chet de ChaStain
and the other musical "Penguins" at
the wardman Park Metronome room
have had an idea. They have decid-
ed all the ice skaters in the Earle's
Lake Placid Ice Follies would feel
right at home in the Metronome's
Arctic atmosphere, so have invited
the whole crew out to their rookery
Penguinese for henhouse) tomor-
row night =. They are leaving their
ice skates at home, so don't worry
about having your feet stepped on
when you dance -. Dafflest, looniest
comedy dance of the season is the
one performed by Sis and Buddy
Rogers in the new Lotus show. Some
people are crazy.
A happy Bastille day to you
and you. Quite a notable evening to-
morrow will have. For one reason it
will be notable because Angie Ro-
dante is celebrating her first anniver-
sary at the Hi-Hat and Oscar is 60
ing to see that the celebration is a
festive one. For another reason to-
morrow night will be notable be-
cause the City of Washington will

Danny didn't like that because he
was afraid of rats. but Emerald
told him that the rats IN the Land

called the rat over. Danny didn't
know there we're such large rats,
even in this land. and when he saw
that the rat was crying, Danny was

Emerald asked the rat why he
was CRYING and he bowed before
