the house with rhythm shuttle which
for smooth originality devised in the
mind of child to music l have never
seen equaled . . the browning point
of the evening occurred when the
matronly Mrs Jones responded to the
applause of the capacity audience and
stepped before the microphone q.

contralto voice she sang a childhood
lullaby "Yur My Own Little Boy,
That's Alp and that huge crowd of
sophisticates and iitterbugs paid her
wonderful compliment by almost
lifting the roof in thunderous appre-
citation and demanded more it was
an inspiring sight to see that grand
mother wipe furtive tear from her
eye and smile to her boys to join her
in an old family quartet that they
used to sing back in the rural Florida
church where their father was a
deacon l know their voices echoed
in Heaven and made his heart proud
as they sang, "My Soul Is a Witness
For My Lord" in true spiritual fash
ion e.. it was an evening long to re-
member as Cappy himself presented
the Jones brothers with huge birth
day cake baked especially for the
occasion by his chefs . after closing
time the employees joined the party
and the bar was on the house &.
later, the stay-uppers journeyed to
the Bohemian chalet of Maury Kaplan
to wine and dine with impromtpu
entertainment by local musicians who
let their hair down and gave out with
original music . Mr.. Kaplan's col
lection of portraits and sketches are
exquisite art accomplishments i.
