After Dark
News and Comment of the Night Clubs
BY the Spectator

1t has happened again, not that
the citizens of the United Nations
will be stood on their collective ear
because of it.
Something less than year ago
a lad who had only recently been
drafted into the military found
himself in England and before a

phone speaking a little piece short

his greeting ran, land tell all the
folks I'm well.
And, look" the soldier concluded,
next time you 60 downtown, drop
in at the 400 for old-times' sake.
Remember the fun we had there?"
This was an entirely unsolicited
plug, all the more reason for that
beatific smile on the face of Opera
tor Jules James who, in his widest
dreams, had never previously con-
siGered his 400 in terms of interna-
tional propaganda.
Much the same thing happened
on behalf of 1t. Comdr. Vim Gal
lagher's King Cole Room a week or
SO ago. Over the Sunday series of
programs known to radio listeners
as Trans Atlantic Call: People to
People," which aims to foster good
will and understanding between the
people of the United States and
Britain, we'll be blasted if some one
on the English side didn't put
in wistful, and good, word for
King Cole and its admittedly
charming, competent Songstress
Evelyn Knight.
Like the former, the King Cole
report has not been completely veri-
fed. An adequate monitoring sys-
tenn is not numbered among the
various attributes of night clubs.
But regardless of whether these
broadcasts were actually, near-actu-
ally or merely vision. the thought
is there. dire and foreboding. These
may be the first signs of a vast
publicity conspiracy, people to peo-
pie, among night club operators of
two of the worlds capitals of de-
mocracy.

that Paul Kain is to provide the

is the Miss Ritter who also has sung

At the same time there are two

Of the same Mr. Kain was dominated,
absolutely, by magnificent hunk of
pastry, the four tered likes of which
usually are reserved for window dis
play at Avignone Freres, and some
times Federal Freres. It wasn't .un-
til about 11:30 pm, however, that
the guests became openly uneasy
about the things falling over and
crushing them under the debris.
There was also some difficulty in
getting the spotlight focused on the
centerpiece and Mr.. Kain's BEAM

But all in all. the band leader was
satisfactorily said farewell to.
