who can't get through a fox

ing have cast aside sacroiliacal
caution to perform our latest
primitive caper.
The Twist even invaded the
haughtily elegant Embassy

PLAYBILLS-The omnipres-
ent Twist even gets (briefly)
into the act of Susan Barrett
at the Statler Hilton Embassy
Room and she is a singer not
a dancer. She is a vastly i'm
proved singer, too, since she
first set foot in that same room
a couple of years ago, tenta-
lively launching a career. She
is not yet ready to run Lisa
Kirk or Celeste Holm or Jane

has developed poise, learned

do without singing and just
stand there in the spotlight to
keep half of her audience, the
male half, entertained.

the Twist are Bud and Cece

have an excuse, though, being
dancers. They also are the
same personable, talented and
entertaining dancers they have
been on past visits. The sur
prise of the Blue Room frolic,
however, is provided by the un-

the great Mr.. Lincoln wouldn't

The Sperapani group has con-
verted the old site into a coZy
little restaurant with more than
its share Of atmosphere.
The source of the feeling of
intimacy Is the inns velvety.
walnut-paneled walls, a bit Of
old brick and glittering black
carriage lamps, which make it
a bit rustic, and at the same
time a plush red carpet and
crystal and brass chandeliers
which give it a feeling of ele-
gance. The two extremes blend
beautifully.
To enhance the feeling of
elegance, the diner is greeted
at the entrance by a liveried
doorman who follows the guest
inside and takes his coat. If
you want to make a call there's
a plug-in telephone.
The menu is equally inviting.
The appetizers run from
anchovy canapes and Little
Neck clans on the half shell
to marinated Bismarck herring
and a jumbo shrimp cocktail.
The soups include French
onion, tomato madrilene en-
gelee, and creme vichysoisse.
In terms of entrees, the
Lincoln Inn is decidedly conti-
mental.
From the grille comes a filet
mignon, a broiled prime New
York sirloin, French lamb chops
on toast, broiled Jersey pork
chops, broiled chicken on toast
and sweetbreads Virginia.
The seafood selections include
filet of sole amandine, curry OF
lobster and shrimp Bombay
with rice, shrimps Rockefeller,
clans baked on the half shell,
oysters Rockefeller, and broiled
pink Columbia salmon with
pimiento butter.
Among the house specials
there is shishkebab Athenian
style with Taheni sauce and a
Greek salad, prime sirloin of
beef en- brochette, roast prime
ribs of beef au jus, veal and
peppers, scallopini of veal mar
Sala, beef Stroganoff, and veal

Vegetables include French
peas. green beans amandine,
asparagus Hollandaise and
potatoes souffle. The salads are
equally inviting.
Our meal ran as follows
Stuffed hearts of celery, onion
soup. Cornish game hen with
wild rice, the green beans, an
endive salad with oil and
vinegar, and French pastry and
coffee. The Lincoln Inn cheese
cake was gone.
OF interest, we thought, was
the offering in most categories
of selections for two, not a bad
idea for daters, or husbands
and wives: Chateaubriand with
sauce Bearnaise (for two)

dance floor was packed with
carefree Twisters. A dance floor
packed with Twisters is no
place, either, for the faint OF
heart. But when the Twist in
vades the Blue Room, it has
arrived.
AND CHA-CHA- CHAT h e
Twist may spread farther and
last longer in such polite sur
roundings because of an in
spiration that came in the night
to a singer named Margarita
Sierra. Miss Sierra has deco
rated the towns After Dark
scene several times, but now is
steadily employed by a TV pri-
vate eye show titled "Surfside
g." She probably is the me-
dium's most beguiling language
bender, but you should have
heard her on her first time
around the plush cabaret cir
cult, when she was fresh off the
boat. She could speak Spanish
or smile, which limited conver-
sation with her. Come to think
of it, however, it was a devas-
tating smile and did get her
message across.
Anyhow, Miss Sierra, as most
of us have by now, encoun-
tered the Twist for the first
time recently. Thought it was
horrible, she told Harold Hef-
fernan, Hollywood columnist for
the North American Newspaper
Alliance. Her other words for
it included vulgar, wild and
ungraceful."
So, Margarita couldn't sleep
that night, for thinking of ways
to make it less vulgar, less wild
and more graceful, she said
Suddenly, inspiration struck
The "Cha-Cha Twist" was born
AS she worked it out, you twist
three times to each side, then
cha-cha three times to each
side.
I'm that way" declares Miss
Sierra, you give the upper part
of the body a rest while using
your feet for the cha cha. The
feet get a rest when you stand
still to twist" Got it? All right
let's go. AS Charley Byrd says,

columnist Harry Macarthur
(see elsewhere on this page)
spoke so highly recently. The
ideal plan, of course, is to first
have your dinner and then go
upstairs for an evening of
Miss Carr's sophisticated sing
ing. Your evening can be a
full one without leaving the
building. Miss Carr is on from
10 pm. to 2 am.
The inn, which seats about
100 for dinner, opens for lunch

1t also is closed on Sunday.

a number of exquisite photo

memorials located here. They

DINING OUT
BY JOHN M. ROSSON
Abe WouId've Loved 1t

When Abraham Lincoln came
to Washington as a member OF
Congress in 1847, he brought
with him his wife and young
son. But after three months in
the Capital, Mrs. Lincoln
found the city not to her liking
and returned to the Lincoln
home in Springfield, III.
The above, Of course, is GER
tainly not news to the Nations
historians, no more than it's
news that without his family
Representative Lincoln became
lonely.
It is interesting to know
however, that Mr.. Lincoln
put up permanently at Mrs
Sprigg's boarding house just
three or four blocks from
the Capitol on First street NV,
and more often than not he
walked to his office every
morning.
In the evening, the story
goes, after his work was done
and he was walking back home
he'd drop by a tiny tavern neal

age other countries from having

Since Britain is a charter

ing helped produce the first atomic

THE MARKET

AS a result Of the two-day ses-
sion outside Paris, Mr.. Macmillan
and Mr.. de Gaulle issued a COM
munique which promised no more
than a continuation of talks on
market membership. 1t was clear
that the main negotiating hurdle
still is over agricultural price sup
ports. Britain keeps the price of
food low by paying its farmers a
subsidy. The Europeans keep the
price high by an American-style
production control.
The Market-and particularly
France-wants England TO agree
to immediate changes in its agri-
cultural policy, and Britain so far
has baked. There are other
problems such as the membership
OF Britain's trading partners
Norway and Denmark, particu-
larly-and future trade with the
Commonwealth countries.
Although Mr.. de Gaulle gave no
concrete promises on the Market,
French spokesman said that If the
technical problem OF agricultural
price control can be solved, then
they see no real obstacles remain
ing. There was bit OF optimism
In England last week as a result OF
the Joint decision by Britain and
the Market TO refer the pricing
problem TO a Joint committee.
This group is expected TO reach
some sort Of compromise that
presumably will be acceptable TO
the ministers. Previously, COM
promises were difficult to reach at
the full ministers meeting be-
cause Of the tendency for each
side-England and the Market
TO be rather inflexible.

Congo:


The United States last week
decided to send a high-IeveI
military survey team to the
Congo, as part of an increased
effort to end Katanga's seces-
sion.
A year ago last week, three
companies of Swedish u. N. troops
succeeded in cutting off the Ka-

For more then a week, Noise
Tshombe's Katangan forces had
stubbornly held off the U. N.

The SkyboIt

The United States indicated at
the time of the NATO ministers
meeting two weeks ago that it
was dropping the Skybolt missile
program for technical and eco
nomic reasons. This missile, placed
under the wing Of a bomber, had
a planned range of 1850 miles.
First discussed by Mr.. Macmillan
with President Eisenhower in 1860,
the Skybolts we're to be sold to
the Raj starting in 1865. They
would have prevented the RATS
20G-plane V-bomber force from
becoming obsolete, and would have
allowed Britain to maintain an
independent nuclear strike force
although integrated with Amer
lean defense plans.
AS a result Of the American de-
ciSion-no secret to the British
government, but a shock to the
British public-the Conservative
government was put in a very diff
ficult position. One of its key
planks has been retention of a
British independent force, and
without Skybolt Britain would be
faced with a fleet of expensive,
obsolete bomberS.
