Evening star., 1945-07-03

Maybe it's just too hot Or maybe
everybody's throwing garden party
or then again, just planning on
dangling feet in the bath tub. In
any case, night clubs report no un-
usual rush for reservations tomor-
row night.
Only spot completely booked up
as we went to press was the Star
light Roof atop the Roger Smith
Hotel, which come to think of it,
will probably be as cool as dangling
your feet in the bath tub. However,
if you want to get there early and
try your Fourth of July luck, there
is small unreserved section on the
roof.
The Shoreham Terrace was still
taking reservations. The Cabana
Club which planned on opening its
new terrace tomorrow ran into some
unforeseen construction trouble. The
opening with Coleman Hawkin S
band has been postponed for few
days.
Being twins may have its disad-
vantages but show business isn't
one of them.
The Roland twins discovered this
for the first time where the bobby
socks were concerned. They dis
covered it, as matter of fact, only
few weeks ago during their en-
gagement at the Earle Theater.
That was the same week, you re-
member, Helmut Dantine appeared
on stage. No wonder they were
kept so busy. We wouldn't be sur
orised if Howard and Bob had a
few leftovers from Dantine's admir-
ing throng in addition to their own.
We'll suppose it was terrible
hot day, like today for instance, -
Bob said, land l felt more like
taking a swim than talking to five
pretty high school girls Howard
would simply stick around and
answer both our calls. The next
day l could return the favor"
Bob admitted that complications
had arisen on occasion when some
one asked to see both. But then,
there's always the old phone gag.
In New York the boys got away
with their gay deception for awhile
before people began catching on.
mo one knew there were two
OF u.s." Howard said, "and / had
every one in the cast Of Something
for the Boys thinking Bob was
some sort of quick-change artist.
I was in Star and Garter at the
time. and every night would finish
up early enough to get over and
catch Bob's finale. The cast, think
ing I was Bob, would stare at me
in amaZement and ask me what
my secret was. They couldn't figure
out how in the deuce I got my make
up off before any one else even got
to their dressing room"
If you caught the boys, either at
the Del Rio or at the Earle, you're
sure to remember the "Evelina"
number. Bob and Howard do
series of choruses aimed at out
bidding each other for a date with
the imaginary young lady. Judging
from the response there are lot
of would-be Evelinas around town.
During the theater engagement each
OdSLtI lCtIC1o 1lOllL nan a
dozen girls all asking the same
question
How about it, could 7 be Eve
lina?"
That's another problem where
twins are concerned. Who decides
who is going to answer the fan mail
addressed to both of them?
II guess we're Just lucky in this
Howard smiled. Our little
12-year-old niece is a bobby socks
herself. She has taken it upon her
self to answer all our correspondence
Yea, I guess we're safe alright,
Bob said. I'VE only get to meet the
fans Ruth approves Of"
Must be something about roping
that appeals to a woman. And we
don't mean roping man. Believe
it or not, its the good old Western
style lasso work that's bothering the
fair sex these days. In short, they
