AFTER DARK
One of the Oldest
Stands in Town

There's a downtown rendez-
vous you may have forgotten
completely that has successfully
fought off the interior decora-
tors and is still doing business
at the old stand - one of the
Oldest stands in town. It's the
Willard Hotels Willard Room,
next to the Crystal Dining
Room, just off that promenade
known as Peacock Alley.
Fortunately, it hasn't been
forgotten by everybody, so it's
still there and available for
rediscovery. One look inside its
portals will take you back -
not back to the day when
Abraham Lincoln stopped at
the old Willard and a tie an
apple every night, but back a
few years. With the wonder
fully rococo old Mayflower
Lounge long gone, the Willard
Room may be the last of the
elegantly old-fashioned hotel
rooms still to be found around
here.
The ceiling is high and there's
a lot of gingerbread carving
up there in its tropospheric
heights. This is supported
(along with a lot of hotel above
it, by eight large, cleaning
black pillars. Hanging from it
are eight crystal chandeliers.
A long bar fills one end of the
room and at each end a NAM
moth mirror reflects the chan
deliers in an endless vista.

banquettes are comfortable
and there's elbow room. Th e
service is presided over by an
impeccable headwaiter you
probably know as George with
out ever having learned that
his last name is Hallas. The
tab should be reasonable, for
the 50-cent beer, the 75-cent
cocktail and the 95-cent Scotch
are not unknown around here.
Entertainment in the Will
lard Room is provided by IIene
Kelley, a personable California
lass who preSides over a grand
piano on a raised platform op-
posite the entrance. She's on
hand nightly except Sundays
from $50 to 1890 (not con-
stantly, but frequently and
her assets include a winning
personality and considerable
talent.
For a girl who started out
to be a concert pianist and was
sidetracked only when she dis
covered what her debut recital
would cost her., Miss Kelley
plays a lot of lively cocktail
lounge piano. She cheerfully
takes on requests and even
came up the other night with
Home on the Range" to give
solace to a homesick Texan.
There's nothing startling about
a girl remembering Home on
the Range" but this is a girl
who would rather be playing
Bach if the customers only
would hold still for it.

If you're an excitement

seeker looking for the action,
you'll have to look elsewhere.
But for an unwinding drink at
the end of the day or a drink
or snack after the show, the
Willard Room is in a mighty
handy spot.
This is one room with an
escape hatch, too, at least for
male imbibers seeking peace
and quiet. If the distaff chatter
ever gets too numerous and
nervous, a man always can
flee to a nearby haven, tn e

the Gourmet Room also offers

$3.50. This includes healthy

a special beer, and dessert, in

The chef at this newest of

The Gourmet Room (the

until 2 am. The dining room

A week from today is

roast goose at the Old Europe
Restaurant and Rathskeller

The secret, say owners Otto

removal of the fat, a step many
housewives who undertake roast
goose fail to take. In any case,
the Old Europe's is matchless
as far as we're concerned.
Special Thanksgiving menus
also will be offered at the
major notes.-the Shoreham' S

Mayflower, etc. Most will list

OUT
At the
Gourmet Room

The list, apparently, is end
less.
There's another new arrival
on the Washington dining-out
scene.
It's the elegantly appointed
Gourmet Room at the equally
elegant International Inn, the
dramatic new hotel on Thomas
circle.
The inn, which opened it's
doors early this month, would
be sufficient unto itself, what
with its last word" in modern
decor, and a unique dome
covered swimming pool. But
with its Gourmet Room, it
turned to the elegant: Beau
tiful crystal chandeliers, soft
gray paneling, velvety brocade
walls of deep royal red, white
Austrian draperies, thick car
pets, liveried walters, elegant
service, a continental menu,
and one of the city's best chefs.
1t all adds up to. one word:
Rich. Yet the prices are with
in reason.
You get in the mood the mo-
ment you step on the premises.
Everything is so spanking new.
The inn has given the circle a
new lease on life. You might
be in New York.
On enterting the Gourmet
Room you are struck by a
blaze of velvety red--the bro
cade walls. To the left is the
cocktail lounge-for the most
part done in black leather.
We didn't waste time order
ing. Turning to the dinner
menu Gas opposed to the a la
carte) we had potage barbure
aux croutons Ga thick potato
soup with a hint of celery and
carrots, imported English sole
sautee Veronique (Sauted in
butter and topped with white
grapes and parsley, Bermuda
potatoes, and lima beans in
melted butter, For dessert we
had French pastry and coffee.
The price, not counting cock
tail or tip, was $5.43.
There was no charge, of
course, for the strains of live
dinner music which floated into
the dining room by way of a
two-piece combo in the lounge.
The dinner menu changes
from night to night, but ours

The Reverend Shorts was
