AT HI HAT last week Barrister
Leon Ackerman stepped up to
the microphone to chant
‘ Madelon" in French, just for
his own amazement. One Mr. Max
Kenner of Elmira, N. Y., was among
the listeners.
"Were you in the war?" said Mr.
Kenner to Mr.
* . . Ackerman. ,
I was, said
Mr. Acker man,
between choruses.
After “Made
Ion” had gone her
weary way, the
gentlemen settled
down at a table
and talked. The
name of a mutual
friend slipped in
to the conversa
tion, stealthily.
The friend was
Arthur Brown,
proprietor of a
AligilL CfJUL ill xwv,iicaici.
Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Kenner
called Mr. Brown, long distance. Mr.
Ackerman sang "Madelon" to him,
accompanied by the Ambassador's
Hawaiians. Mr. Brown retaliated by
bringing his entire band over to the
telephone and having a tune or two
played into the mouthpiece. Then
they hung up.
End of story.
The Russian situation is opening
and shutting like a circus barker's
trap. Saturday Club Troika will pull
on the slip covers, unscrew the
light bulbs, bar its doors until next
Pall. Next Tuesday, Matt Windsor
will open this village's first Muscovite
roof garden. Club Volga Boatman
moves upstairs at Numbera Wun
Thomas Circle on the evening of the
19th, converting Le Paradis into la
steppes.
Meanwhile sashlik snifters are get
ting in their last licks at Troika (until
Fall) and handsome Helen Hamilton
is talking show business with Gene
Ford, who says the Troika shows are
good enough to be booked into Mr.
Loew's well known F street Zeppelin
hangar, the Fox. Next season it may
be done.
Among those Joining in the last
minute rush to the Moscow of Con
necticut avenue; Helen Lee Wash
ington, Yasha Bunchuk, the orchestra
man; Nils T. Granlund, the N. T. G.
man; Sherman Mittell, whose recently
published book, "Plain Talk,” has peo
ple plain talking all over town.
M. Windsor plans to keep his huge
Cossack revue when Volga Boatman
goes up and out into the open . . .
place also boasts the only wooden
dance floor on a local roof . , . try
ing out the Boatman’s indoor accom
modation recently were Senator Con
nolly of Texas, Representative Gwynn
of Imva, Bill Bray, who dances at the
Shore ham.
Boatman’s under-the-sky debut Tues
day night will have competition. The
new Cocoanut Grove, at Fifth and K
streets, makes its bow the same eve
ning. Spot is air-conditioned, reported
to have nobby decorations and will
bring in some fancy bands during the
Summer.
Mme. Dionne, the Rainbow room’s
cat, expects about six bundles from
heaven any day now . . . Frances
Woods, dancing at the Shoreham, is so
deaf she has to catch the music
through the floor vibrations, yet . . .
But her work with partner Bill Bray
was so well liked the team is being
held over for another week ... the
Mayflower’s Sidney and his music men
play the White House party tonight
. . . A1 Norton, Lotus m. c. and bass
fiddle slapper, has bought himself a
house . . . with doorways big enough
to shove large fiddles through into
with . . . Mitchell and Durant Jigged
into La Paree the other night . . .
reason Russ Cullen of the Moe Baer
crew was sitting on his feet at the
Rainbow room Tuesday was that he
saw a certain citizen walk into the
place . . . last Summer the same gent
sat on a chair at the Arlington Roof
. . . the chair collapsed ... and Russ’
foot was under it ... he hobbled
around for a week . . .

Sweethearts Years Ago
in Florida Reunited
in Capital.
A happy ending to a 35-year ro
mance will be brought about in At
lanta, Ga., June 7, when Miss Elsie
Smith, 62, a resident of the Baptist
Home. 3248 N street, becomes the bride
of a girlhood sweetheart. Marvin McIn
tosh, 57, Florida's assistant attorney
general.
The two were sweethearts when they
were young together in Florida, but
Miss Smith, who had the care of an
invalid mother, could not consider
marriage.
Then their paths divided.
McIntosh married and Miss Smith,
having lost considerable real estate
holdings, finally came to live here. A
reunion was effected last August when
McIntosh—after the death of his wife
—located his former sweetheart.
A surprise party for the bride-elect
was given last night by a missionary
circle of the Fifth Baptist Church.
She will leave Washington June 1 to
be married at the home of her sister,
Mrs. W. S. Winecoff.

OPERAS CANCELED
St. Louis Curtails Season as
Ticket Sale Dwindle*.
ST. LOUIS, May 14 (^.—Director
Ouy Golterman of the St. Louis Opera
Co. yesterday announced cancellation
of the remainder of the Spring opera
season here.
Golterman said "Lucia Di Lammer
moor,” presented last month with Lily i
Pons, drew a record-breaking audi- I
ence. but that advance sales did not
justify the production of “La Traviata”
and “La Gioconda,” as planned.
He blamed lack of financial support
on the lateness of the season and an
unusual number of money-raising
drives for other purposes.
