After Dark
- Smart People, Smart Things, Smart Places.
By the Spectator.
Trade Mark Registered. U. S. Patent Office
THE class will now gather ’round
and consider quietly, without
comment, the case of the ex
tra event at Bowie . . . For
the other night Leo, the Heigh-Ho
Club's headwaiter, struggled up the
stairs to his post, weary, but still
exuberant of spirit, and the story
came out . . . And if you now hear
*ny one call Leo "Seabiscuit, jr„”
$ou will know the why and where
for . . . Leo having fully broken
down and divulged the reason for his
weariness . . . Seems Leo went to
Bowie and there met a famed race
horse owner . . . who shall remain
nameless, if he's worrying . . . and it
seems also there was something of a
party at the clubhouse ... So during
the party Leo and the hoss owner,
disgruntled lads, decided they could
nm faster than some of the nags they
had bet on . . . got to arguing about it
and the upshot was there was an
added event at Bowie after the last
race . . . Leo and the other chap run
ning like mad things around the
track ... Leo lost ... but he’s still
maintaining he probably was sponged
or something . . .
• * * The Argentines had their night
last night at the Raleigh's Pall Mall
Room ... and what a party it was ... A
whole raft of folk from the Argentine
Embassy were on hand . . . and there
Were more tangos and rhumbas tan
goed and rhumbaed than you could
shake a stick at. . . Isabel Gest, lately
divorced from Mr. Gest, was there,
and tripped a merry rhumba with
Chester Snow, who prides himself on
bis rhumbas and rightly so ... So
was Patsy Brewer, learning some of
the more intricate segments of the
tango from Eddie Pierce, who's half
of the dance team, Roland and Pierce,
whose neat dances are featured at
the Pall Mall room .. . And the hand
some Flannery girls, Virginia, Fon
taine and Ann Dudley, popular debs
'of last year came down to have a
look at Sonny Kendis' lads all done
Up in gaucho style . . . And a gay
time was had by all and you are
heartily recommended right now to
next Wednesday’s Viennese night,
when the waltz will replace last night's
Thumbas and tangos ...
• * * Today's correspondence by tele
graph:
"Heard that you have entered tango
Contest at the Pall Mall room. That
should be very funny. Incidentally,
can t decide who dances wnrse vnn
Kendis.—Barnee.”
Dear Barnee: Sonny Kendis will
have to defend himself, but the last
time we saw a certain behemoth of
the big apple drag his feet onto a
dance floor it looked like a couple of
tugs maneuvering the Queen Mary.
“Paramount’s original Betty Boop
opening in person at Cocoanut Grove
this Thursday night. Dinner with
Betty for you. Thank you.—The
Management.”
Dear Management of the Cocoanut
Grove: Thank you. We’ll be there
to find out how the gal’s voice be
comes part of those cartoons .
We'll also be there to listen to the
Winstead Trio, on account of they’re
good even if you didn’t mention them
in the wire about B. Boop.
• * * Great was the applause at the
Russian Troika Saturday night . .
for Nick Hope came back to town and
when he finished a classical bit from
one of Offenbach's works in the first
floor show, the customers all but
stood on their chairs and cheered . . .
for the guy can play an accordion.

beautiful new modern Chambers Range—the range that “cooks with the gas

of her time in the kitchen.
