PIPE SMOKING
 I5 UNDER BAN
 IN NIGHT CLUBS
CoIumnist Does II, How ever, Then Tells All
 About II and Why
By GEORGE TU"KER

NEW YORK. Nov. 27. - Pipe smoking is frowned upon in a ma iority of New York's hotel din- ing rooms, night clubs and res taurants. But occasionally some calloused bird will give way to the urge and build a comfort ing smoke in his briar. We mention this because one night last July we were in Leon & Eddies and did just that. And then we walked out, some time later, and left the pipe on the table. For some reason it wasn't until last night that we got back around to seeing Leon and Eddie. First thing Leon said was, Its upstairs on my desk" Just as if we'd left it there only five minutes before.
 At the Waldorf the other night, during intermission, Kay Ky5er walked over to the pianist of the orchestra that was playing the "fill-in" period and said. My pian- ist is helping out over in the Sert Room tonight. Could you keep on playing until he gets back?" The fellow agreed What had happened was this: Carol Bruce, who was supposed to sing that evening in the Sert Room, had been prohibit cd from appearing because of con- tract trouble. At the zero hour the management hurried in and asked Kyser if Ginny Simms could fill in for her Ginny wanted Rays regular pianist
 Ginny looked mighty fetching in candy-stick dress and an old, old bracelet that was her grandmothef's She also wore a little locket that was bent curiously. Close examination revealed several small dents. T did that when l was a baby" she explained T used this locket as a teething- ring
 Five Broadway shows have new lines for their comics. The old ones, based chiefly on pre- election political debates, had 10 be rewritten . We cant tell you what the gags were because ladies and little children are pres ent Harry Carey postcards that he is going to come East for several months so that he can be around when his kids, boy 20 and a girl IT, get their starts in the theatre. The old Trader Horn" has just finished Shepherd of the Hills"
 Neatest trick of the decade: The other day we read where Law renee of Arabia spent three years in a British library and over that period read 20 books a day. He could tear the heart out of any book in an hour" this author said =. We believe every word of it and we also believe that COWS have wings.
 Ninety-nine of 100 popular songs are 32 bars in length Occasionally, some composer oversteps this mark, as Cole Porter did in using 60 bars in which to express Night and Day" The record has been smashed, however, in a new song called "Af- rican Etude," which Bing Crosby will introduce soon in .The Road to Zanzibar" It has 200 bars, or more than six times as many as the average song. It was written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke last week at Palm Springs, where they were the house guests of John Scott TrOtter
