Nesto Party
Turns Into
Talent Show
By Betty Beale

On "a hours notice. Perle
Mesta organized party for
stage star Russell Nype that
turned out to be gayer than
most to-dos that take weeks
of preparation. Held between
$50 and 1880 yesterday aft
ernoon, it was almost as full
of talent as "The Tender
Trap" itself in which Mr.. Nype
is starring at the Shubert The
ater.
Music emanated from Dev-
ron's accordion throughout
and ever so often somebody.
who really knows how to put
over song, gave voice.
First "act" was a duet by
Mr.. Nype and Sonora de
Berckemeyer. wife of the Pc
ruvian Ambassador, who has
a lovely soprano voice. They
sang the famous two-melody
duet from Call Me Madam"
which. of course, was inspired
by Mrs. Mesta's appointment
to Luxembourg, and which
made Russell a star.
Next came solo from the
same show by the very attrac-
tive. young bespectacled MFR.
Nype, who, by the way, says
this play is the kissingest he's
ever been in. Then followed
two songs by noted Washing
ton singer. Gene Archer. He
sang an old Maurice Chevalier
favorite, Valentino" and
Girls. Girls, Girls The at
mosphere in Mrs. Mesta's
Sheraton-Park apartmen t
couldn't have been peppier.
Finally, the vocal part of the
party wound up with Hank
Fort being chanteuse for two
of her own compositions. PRO
tocol," and Save Your Con-
federate Money, Boys"
Speaker Sam Rayburn was
there but so trapped by pretty
girls from 1.-THE Tender Trap"
that he was hardly visible.
Best known in the group was
the feminine lead, Miss K. T.
Stephens.
Former Senator and Mrs.
Homer Ferguson dropped by
and ex-senator Henry Ashurst,
the Ambassador of Uruguay
and Sonora de Mora, Mrs. Lyn-
don Johnson. Mrs. John Nc
Clellan; Admiral Ralph Bates.
who is down from Newport
for a couple Of days; Prince
and Princess Sanseverino and
Signora Luciolli of the Italian
Embassy, Miss Carolyn Nash,
Miss Mary Randolph, Miss
Meta Evans, Miss Emily
Chase, and Messrs. Fred Roy
and George Williams.
United States Treasurer Ivy
Baker Priest and her husband.
Mr.. Roy Priest, were late ar
rivals, the former having put
in a rugged day. She got back
from speechmaking in Chi
cago late Tuesday evening. she
said, then yesterday morning
she had to present her budget
to the appropriations commit
tee, whereupon she whipped
up to Philadelphia to give a
luncheon speech. then whipped
back, then did some work at
the office, then came to Mrs.
Mesta's.
