A most unusual thing happenet
last week in the Embassy Room at
the StAtler, or so 1t seemed until
Cal Clifford explained the phenom-
ena. A colonel requested Cal te
play 4 number for him.
Your face looks familiar" Ca
said, weren't you In the Capital
City Club In Atlanta, Ga, AND
didn't you request Take Me Out tc
the Ball Gamer"
But I was only In Atlanta once,
the colonel said, and it was four
years ago"
That's right" Cal continued
"and you were . captain then"
The Spectator wouldn't have be-
lieved his ears, If he hadn't wit
messed several instances of Calls
remarkable gift. Instead of con-
Meeting faces with names, Cal con-
meets them with songs. If you're
skeptical, request the same tune
once or twice and see if it doesn't
greet you the next time you walk
into the Statler.
Host Peter Borras of the Res

of a reasonable facsimile of the Bor-
ras Paella, stumbled into the Ma.

London's Brewer street. Struck with
the close resemblance of the dish he
was served there to the Washington
version he asked for the manager
Sure enough, his host was Jose Bor-
raS, cousin Peter last saw when
they were apprentice chefs together
at a Barcelona Hotel in the early
1900's.
II you don't take your guests any
other place while they are in Wash

unless they're from New York. In
which case they've probably seen

fighter more than once. It's that
