Supper Club Notes
POWHATAN ROOF—Pete Ma
cias has to leave the house
boat tomorrow night—at least
long enough to come up to
civilization and launch the Powhatan
Roof on its 1936 Summer season. You
don't even smell a trace of burned
gasoline this high above the sticky
asphalt, and if you feel the urge
toward activity, there's music by the
same lads who made bright tunes
all Winter at the Heigh-Ho.
Maryland Club Gardens—Gail Lee,
clever and individual dancer with a
lot of personality, won the hearts of
the cash customers heje and has been
held over to headline the floor shows
for a second week. Music is made
with a gay swing by Jimmy Harris
and his orchestra.
Hamilton Hotel—The chief attrac
tion in the cool and pleasant Rain
bow Room is smart dance music,
played the way dance tunes should be
played, by Moe Baer find his Orehes
tra. Russ Cullen handles the singing
chores in noble fashion.
Mayflower Hotel—Week in. week
out. no matter what, the Mayflower
Lounge goes right on and remains
one of Connecticut avenue's most
popular afternoon and evening ren- I
dezvous. The air is conditioned to the
proper temperature always, and the
dance music is by Sidney's orchestra,
one of the town's favorite music-mak
ing units.
Shoreham Hotel—Lester Cole ana j
his Midshipmen, a top-notch male j
chorus often heard here from vaude- :
ville stages, sing to headline the floor
shows in the ball room. Other enter
tainment is by May Brosseit, a part
Indian lass who does rope nevelties.
A1 Kamons is leading Maxim Lowe's
Orchestra while Barnee's away.
Volga Boatman Roof—Matt Wind- ,

circle is proving as popular as was j
last Winter's club downstairs. To lure
you out into the night and up In the
air. Matt offers his own "Swingopa
tors,” a gay Cossack floor show, a j
pleasant Russian atmosphere, and
topping food.
Coroanut Grove—This just opened
Tuesday night and there's little lack
ing that makes for a good time. The
food's good, the room is as attractive
as they come, the 14-piece band knows
Its 'sw-ing” and there's a fast-moving,
gay colored revue, featuring a half
dozen singing and dancing stars and
a chorhs of clever steppers.
Madrillon—Even without the cool
ing system, which makes this spot
‘TO degrees cooler in Summer,” those !
‘‘vittles” turned out under Pete Bor- I
ras’ supervision would still be a strong,1
lure. There's dinner dancing from 8
until 1:30 to music by Leon Brusl
loff's Orchestra.
Raleigh Room—They say Eddie
Whitesel Is another of those chaps
who makes a lot of friends by re
membering favorite tunes and dash
ing them off without being asked.
He plays his accordian every evening
between 5 and 7 at this popular ren
dezvous on the spot of the famed old
Raleigh Bar.
little "Singing Cigarette Girl,1* at
tracts no end of customers who like
the way she sells songs. Other en
tertainment is by the Paradise Islan
ders, who can make plenty of music
with their guitars and other things.
Lotus—The new feature of the
three daily floor shows is Audrey Gib
son, "Scandals" beauty, who does

smart acrobatic and control dances.
Evy Harlan sings to "Break in a New
Pair of Shoes," A1 Norton is the
master of ceremonies, and there's an
attractive chorus led by titian-tressed
Adrienne farroll. Bill Strickland's
Capitolians make the music.
Mayfair—Jack Campbell hasn’t
i really taken root, but he still Is on
hand at the Cafe of All Nations,
regaling the citizens who gather there
_
with smart piano-tickling. There are
songs, too, by Roy Kiser.
Lafayette Hotel—There's entertain
ment in the clever and attractive
Checker Board Room by the Checker
Twins, an accordionist and a violin
ist-singer, who are on hand after
noons and evenings.
Clnb Carlton—You’ll And a lot of
Washington's “right” people in the
Carlton's popular lounge. The cush
ions are soft, the atmosphere is rest
ful, the bar Is smart and different,
and there's a musical background to it
all, supplied by a John Slaughter
ensemble.
Brooke Johns' Old Bam—Steak and
chicken dinners that make you purr
like a happy kitten are a specialty,
and there's dancing every night until
1 a m., with the festivities led by Sr.
Johns himself.
Griffith Farms—This spot out on
the Malboro pike is another that
boasts, and has a right to, about its
Maryland fried chicken, sea-food and
steak dinners. There’s music by Ray
mond and his Hawailans.
Lag Cabin Inn—There is dancing
every night to music made by the Log
Cabin Inn Orchestra at this pleasant
rustic spot out Georgia avenue (ex
