Two Of anything, all things being
relative, can be either too much or
too little. Two would be a whole
lot of great Danes, for example, If
you live in a one-room efficiency
apartment. On the other hand, two
would not 'be very many dollars II
you were charged with the feeding
of only one great Dane with an ap-
petite for sirloin steak. Two are
great many engines to have quit on
you if you are flying four-engine
airplane, but the two you have re-
naming do not seem like very many
engines at all.
Two of anything is enough to
constitute a trend when a man has
a column to write, or at least enough
to look like the beginning OF one.
Today's trend, the nipping Of which
in the bud will leave us all happier,
has to do with a particularly desper-
ate form of press-agent prose. One
isolated example could be shrugged
off, but here they are, back-to-back,
to wit:
Item: Probably none of the
patrons Of the Checkerboard Room
at the Lafayette Hotel realize while
they're listening to Anita Carton at
the Hammond organ that she's
good friend of Ethel Smith, who Is
famous for tricky arrangements on
the Hammond"

never did run a dancing school In
Spokane, Washington.
Probably none of the patrons of
the Sazerac Room in the Old New
Orleans realize while they're listen
ing to Jody Miller sing that the
east end of the Panama Canal is
west Of the west end, which is east
of it.
Peering at the fiinsy costumes of
the dancing girls at the Club Cairo,
you'd never know that the club was
not named in honor of the city of
Cairo, Illinois, which, incidentally,
probably is good thing because if
lit were you'd have to cali it the
Club Kay-ro to match the Illinois;
rather than the Egytian, version.
| Probably none of the patrons Of
the King Cole Room at the Claridge
Hotel realize while they're listening
to Vince Gallagher play the piano
(Which he only does when the regu-
lar pianist is on vacation) that he
never was screen-tested by Warmers,
that he is graduate of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, or that he

After Dark
A Desperate Form of Prose
Hints a Publicity Trend
By Horny Macarthur

Item: Though transparent skirts
may not hide much else, they can
hide hidden talent. Take the case
of Sherry Gayle, the newest addi-
ton to the Sheraton Lounge. Peer
ing at her fiimsy skirt, you'd never
know that she ran a dancing school
in Spokane, Wash, or that she filled
in for the vocalist with Bob Crosby
orchestra, or that she was screen
tested by Warmers, or that she is a
graduate Of the Nelson School of
Dramatics in Los Angeles"
Come to think of it, this Is an
approach that opens up all sorts
Of new vistas.
Peering at Barnee, as he conducts
the Shoreham Blue Room Philhar-
monic, you'd never know that his
boss, Maxim Lowe, likes to play
bridge.
Probably none Of the patrons Of
the Madrillon realize while they're
listening to Johnny Robb's orches-
ira that he once was forced to take
a week of because he pulled up a
lot of weeds in the vacant lot next
to his house and they turned out to
have been poison oak.
Peering at the f1imsy railing on
the balcony on which Sidney plays
luncheon music at the Mayffower
Hotel, you'd never know that he
