wall until they hit the 21st chorus
Then Lee just rocked! He was SO
completely exhausted that he signal
ed Tommy to let him go out on the
chorus Tommy misinterpreted the
sign, thought his newly discovered
trumpet star wanted another round
and as the band played on Lee
went out'-on the 22d lap. He
didn't go out in the strict sense OF
the musicians tongue. He just
slumped over on the floor. The tot
tering trumpeter was revived but
81 never heard the end of it from
the boys in the band" Lee said .
Its not cause I shouldn't: not
cause I couldnt-its just cause I'm
the LATEST girl in town"-but you
should hear the LATEST girl in town.
She's blond and well, you don
care if she's lazy or not. Ann
Parker does speciality songs at the
Trade Winds and after going
through her entire repetoire you're
still ready for more. Ann got her
break in Jesse Laskey's Gateway to
Hollywood" contest.
Il was only Is at the time" she
confessed, "but with the aid of a
sophisticated hair-do / passed my
self off as 18 and won the title from
California. Linda Darnell was the
girl from Texas who won the finale"
There's only one thing Ann has
against Washington and its the
cherry blossoms. She was here last
year in Early to Bed" and missed
them and has to leave for a New
York engagement before they bloom
this year.
Guess I'll just have to be like a
native Washingtonian" Ann said"
and see them in the newsreels."

Lieut.. Edmund Andronik, for
merly of the plane carrier Essex,
by the King Cole Room
very much on purpose the other
day for bull session with his old
buddy, Pianist Nat Lupton. The
boys got to talking. You know how
those things are. The lieutenant
remembered sailor who used to
be on the Essex and Nat happened
to know that the singing sailor was
also here in town. The sailor turned
out to be Russ Cullen, head of the
Dubonnet outfit at the Sheridan
and we bet we know where Lieut..
Adronik's next stop was.
