Thanks to conventions about
youngsters bedtime, Gene Autry
did a little night clubbing at the
Carlton last week. If you could
see what usually happens when
Autry sets foot on the street you
would understand.
On this occasion, however, it was
after $50 pm. Most of Autry's fans
were tucked safely in bed and the
Hollywood cowboy idol relaxed for
the evening. In the North Lounge,
adjoining the Congo Room, Autry
gave full vent to Boots and Sad

buddies. The star staged regular
western ranch community sing.
Some people wondered why band

the Congo Room. 1t was because

Part of Lorraine Kask's act, every
night, at the Trade Winds includes
kissing one or two bald-headed

few select gentlemen and maybe
the cheek of one nice
white-haired colonel. The fact that
Miss Kask purposely passed by every
personable male under 40 was what
first aroused our curiosity.
The strange psychological phe-
which prompts Miss Kask
to ignore eager-looking sergeants,
second lieutenants and
curly haired youths of % or there
abouts is based on her own long

barrassed when sit on their laps,

turn shocking pink and besides I
don't always like the looks I get
from their dates.

get big kick out of having at
tention drawn to them" Miss Kask
laughed. Sometimes I even have a
little difficulty convincing them that
it's only an act"
