1t was our pleasure this week
to encounter a dining out spot

might have said about Break
fast at Tiffany's"- Ito make
the industry proud" In our
case it's the Washington res
taurant industry.
We won't waste time.
We're speaking of the Dis
trict's newest arrival, the Rue
Royale, between Twenty-ninth
and Thirtieth streets NV. on
M, across from L'Espionage.
The Rue Royale is owned by
Mrs. Jean Moran who also owns
L 'Espionage. Already she and
her daughter, Mrs. Bitsy Ross,
are dashing back and forth
across M street to do the
honors.
The Rue Royale, as tasteful
a display of regal New Orleans
as we've ever seen. can be de-
scribed in two words: ultra ele-
CANT. You know you're dining
out. It's an occasion. You're
dining in splendor.
Seating just 90 diners, the
Rue Royale is divided into
three rooms. If you can pick a
favorjte, you'll be doing better
than we did.
First there's The Shell-a
bar-dining room.
The bar itself is encased in
dully-finished black leather.
The walls are of the darkest
walnut, they're complimented
by elegant sconces or gold
framed portraits of old Louisi-
ana families.
Second there's The Chartreuse
Room-the main dining room.
This is where you enter after
passing down Rue Royale, a
tiny street" Cor alley next to
the building from which the
restaurant took its name. But
alley is a misnomer. The word
again is New Orleans.
Finally, there's The Larder,
| a decidedly masculine room
which Mrs. Moran feels will be
a hit with the men, particularly
at lunch hour.
The Rue Royale decorating,
by the way, was done by Mrs.
Moran and the Districts Bill
Galpin. They searched for
Gust the right things" for more
than a year, Mrs. Ross says.
But that's only half the story.
OF course there's the Rue
Royale menu.
Mrs. Moran has settled on a
delightful system.

The DANCE
Kirov's
'GiseIIe'

THE DANCE
BY HARRY MACARTHUR
Star staff Writer


The dancers Of Leningrad's
Kirov Ballet turned last night.
for their second appearance on
the Loew's Capitol Theater
stage, to the troupe's speciality
the full-length ballet. Those
who gathered to look on now
can safely say they have seen
the definitive "Giselle." 1t has
been mounted in impressive
settings and it is danced Splen-
didly with maybe a minor
lapse here and there. 1t must
look very much as it did when
first performed in Leningrad,
nee st. Petersburg, back in
1912.
"Giselle," of course, by the
very nature of it's plot, is some

That's only the first act. too
but the party line is clear by
now. If there weren't any cap

course, for if there is anyone

MEXICO CITY, May 10 (AP). !
"A student committee investi-

University of Puebla reported
today that Communists have
taken over the school and are
using force to prevent anyone
from entering.
The committee was sent to
Puebla, IS miles southeast Of
Mexico City, by the National
Confederation Of Students. It
said most Of the university stu
dents wanted to return to class
but that minority groups led
by clearly identified Commu-
mist directors" were using clubs
and Molotov cocktails to keep.
them out.
The team was dispatched to
Puebla five days ago after local
citizens could get no help from
state and federal authorities,
who contended it was IAN affair
to be settled by the university"
The Reds rioted last month
after the abortive invasion of
Cuba. attacked other schools in
Puebla, and then took over the
university campus, demanding
the resignation of the univer-
sity rector.
Leaders Of the student con-
federation leaders said they
would fight to prevent any
student or professor from being
expelled by the Reds. since
this would violate freedom of
thought. They plan to send a
commission to the Governor of
Puebla State to seek a solution
of the crisis.

Another practice call involved
a precinct worker trying to ex-

that scene were that it didn't

1. Keep shades or venetian

3. Keep storm windows in to

Man-Made Pearls
Now Rival Beauty
OF Cultured Ones

A new simulated pearl CALLED
"Perle de Mer" has been de-
veloped specifically to fill the
growing demand for fine quail
ity pearls of larger diameter,
These pearls, which are al
most indistinguishable from the
genuine cultured pearls are sim.
ulated from the finest compo-
nent raw materials under elab-
orately controlled manufacture
ing conditions by the Richelieu
Company, makers of fine jew
elry.
Since oysters may take seven
years or more to produce a fine
quality pearl of large diameter,
few owners of cultured pearl
beds are willing to keep their
investment tied up under water
for that period of time.
In addition, few oysters are
capable of growing pearls over
eight millimeters in size.
The new peals by Richelieu
are produced in just six days
and have the natural innerglow
ant iridescence, harder texture
and depth of color that make
cultured pearls SO desirable.
For those who can afford
them fine cultured pearls; 9
nm 10 nm. and larger sizes
are very much in demand land
in short supply but prices are
as high as S7,50O.00.
A single strand of Richelieu's
"Perle de Mer" sells for a frac-
ton of the cost of comparable
sized cultured pearls.
They are available in 8 nm.
to II nm. in uniform strands,
and are also graduated up to
IA nm.
