The Showbiil:
This is the week that Patsy Kel-
ly, the comedienne, and Barry Wood
the radio singer, come to the Club
Cairo to headline the new show
The night will be tomorrow night
Miss Kelly, as If you needed any
introduction to her, is the gal who
has made more movies than you
can count, since the first one in
1888. Before starting her movie
career in Going Hollywood" she
was born in Brooklyn, taught dane
ing, worked in Frank Fay's vaude-
vile act, appeared in Earl Carroll's
sketch Book" and "Vanities" and
with AL Jolson in "Wonderbar.
Judge Wood Ohe's a justice Of the
peace when at home) gained his
first fame, as nearly as we can re-
member, singing on radios Hit
Parade" Sometimes we can't re-
member any closer than lat miles,
of course. At any rate all advance
reports have it that Miss Kelly and
Mr.. Wood make quite an entertain
ing team.
Tomorrow night also is the night
when Buddy Lester returns to Paul
Young's Romany Room, an event
regarded in some circles as nothing
short of epochal. MIR. Lester has a
vast horde of admirers, who hold
to the theory that he is a great
comedian and wherever he appears
these aficionados gather to roar with
glee at his every move. That we do
not concur can be traced only to
the fact that we prefer wit to great
expenditure of energy and subtlety
to volume, In comedy performed by
a man who at least gives the i'm
preston that he does not regard
himself the greatest performer in
the world. Mr.. Lester IS not that,
but so long as this is a more or less
free country we wouldn't for a min
ute think of advising Lester addict
to take the cure. Incidentally, Steve
Condos is arriving at the Romany
Room tomorrow night, too. He is
quite dancer.
. Nothing changes at Delmonico's
for another week but that does not
mean that the Delmonico's manage
ment has suddenly turned change
resistant in the manner of George
Apley. It simply means that the
current show, In which the wild and
zany antics of Jerry and Turk are
contrasted with the dignifed POM
posity which Paul Grey assumes, Is
an entertainment of merit. It Is to
be on hand for three weeks instead
of the normal two.

Tana, the seeress, who now Is
looking into the future from Sacha
Lucas Coral Club at the Moulin
Rouge, has a new triumph of which
to boast. Before the Byrd expedi-
ton left for the Antarctic, Tana
limited darkly that she knew what
they were looking for down there
but they'd find something they
didn't expect to find. AS you know,
the boys found an unexpected
mountain the other day and Tana
says that proves her point, doesn't
it? Well, doesn't it?
