1t Is generally agreed in show

diences. Washington audiences
are sometimes none too cordial.
either, a fact which the late w. c.
Fields attributed to the presence
of so much competing comedy IN
Government circles. Dinner show
audiences are the worst, though.
A man who has worked hard all
day, has taken a couple of medi-
cinal martins and then has been
confronted with a steak is quite
likely to reach for a knife and
fork. He will not be diverted just
because some one wants to sing
about her love life. dance on her
toes or pull rabbits out OF a hat.
AS he feels his way toward his
victuals In the darkness and as
the same scene is being repeated
throughout the room. the rustling
of the crockery sometimes reaches
startling proportions. 1t has been
known to drive strong singers back
to vaudeville and some Of them
even have become radio disc
Jockeys or taken jobs in television,
which does not yet talk back to
the entertainers.
You ought to see what Carl
Ravazza does to that dinner show
audience at the Statler's Embassy
Room, though. The only eating it
does while he is on is out OF his
hand. When he sings the only
sensible thing to do is listen, OF
course, but no singer ever got
more unanimous attention from a
night club audience. A deadly
'ush Is what falls over the place
when Mr.. Ravazza starts improv-
ing on a song.
There is not much new to be
said OF him, however. All the old
things still stand, Of course. He
stands out among singers like Bob
Williams would stand out in the
second string backf1eld Of Trenton
Teachers. He even demonstrated
the other night that he can sing
without music. Having run
through everything he had had
time to rehearse with Victor Lom-
bardo's orchestra, Mr.. Ravazza
found himself out there on the
floor with the audience still de-
manding more. He took to recit-
ing songs and telling what songs
were about and still got more ap-
plause than most people get for
singing songs.
The only complaint against Mr..
Ravazza around here is that he
keeps this department overworked
trying to think up new ways to
say he is q great entertainer. The
only complaint you are likely to
hear registered against him at the
Embassy Room this week or next
is that he sings only 40 or As
minutes twice q night instead OF
singing all night long.
