"Oh, that" Shirt-Tail said. I'VE
never had any of that; it's Just
something the printer thought up,
guess. never heard of it."
Maybe it means 'petits fours',"
some one suggested.
Hey, maybe it does" Shirt Tail
shouted. Maybe that's why we
never had any"
so all right" the young lady de-.
clared. "I'll have ice cream and
petits fours."
"Hah!" shrugged the pirate. I'VE
haven't got any of them either"
''' Title for making a description
cliche in the shortest order must
be bestowed on Mara Bielinskaya
(accent on the linz, the new
dancer at the Russian Troika. Since
Saturday Miss B. has been at Helen
Hamilton's rendezvous and already
it should be criminal offense to
say Dresden flgurine" in the same
breath with her. There must be
some other way to describe her.
She's blond, about so high a feet IL
inches-Ed0. as cute as your little
sister was when she was only half
that tall She does some nice things
in the ballet manner, especially that
impersonation OF dying swan to
La Giselle." Mile. Bielinskaya has
been seen and approved by a mill
tary force sufficient to put the
Troika on an even footing with the
rest of the world. The Navy has
been represented by Comdr. Ulan,
who raised no fuss when Capt Nick
Hope played the Marine chant,
Halls of Montezuma." And the
Imperial Russian Army of pre-revo-
luton days was represented by 1t.
Gen. A. M. Uzefovich, who knew
Mischa when Mischa was Capt.
Bersineff of that same army.
- Normandy Farms Scene: Tom
BarroWs in town to tell Washington
about outward Bound" which is
coming to the National, has been
Broadwayite for years, has spent his
life in show business. So last night
he spent much time telling Marjory
Hendricks, who has run Normandy
Farms for many year. just the
proper way to feed sick young pig,
nursing it from teapot.
- After the first night: Matty
Malneck and sundry members of
that orchestra which makes the
William Tell overture something
you never heard before, paid a call
to the Mayflower Lounge, had much
fun listening to Dick Koons and the
lads there play the Very Warm for
May" music. Also across the start
ing line early with the new Jerome
Kern tunes was Pete Macias at the
Lounge Riviera. Don Loper and
Maxine Barrett, Very Warm for
May" dancers, were part of the
Maclas crews audience Monday
evening. (They can go back again
before they leave town, too, to hear
Heaven in My Arms" All in Fun"
In Other Words Seventeen" and
the others, for the Lounge Riviera

Poor Mary La Marr. Playing
tricks on her seems to be one of the
favorite sports of some of the lads
at the Madrillon. The other night
Mary was all agog when she spied a
| famous face at the ringside,
''H-s-s-s-t." hissed she to Carr Van
S1ckler, there's Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley" so it is,' Carr agreed
I'll introduce you" Mary chatted
with the gent, thrilled about it all,
then sang song dedicated to my
good friend Postmaster General Far
ley" Will somebody please tell
Miss La Marr it was just a fellow
who looked like Mr.. Farley. But
that wasn't all. Mary as an entrant
in the auto show queen contest, one
evening kept heckling Carr to ask
the Madrillon patrons to vote for
her. Finally he agreed to make an
announcement, then mumbled and
uble-talked into the mike so no
one could understand his gibberish.
Mary burned for three hours.
