After Dark
Lured Away From Hollywood,
T. Dorsey Gomes Here Fridas
By HARRY MacARTHUR
There always seems to be one
more branch of show' business pop
ping up to blame its woes on the
movies. Vaudeville died when the
movies got talkative and the legit
imate theater got sick. There
aren't any actresses coming along
because young girls go to Hollywood
to get rich instead of playing in
stock to get talent. There aren't
any solid new’ comedians being de
veloped because young comics go to
Hollywood to grow wealthy in movies
or radio instead of playing in bur
lesque to grow funny.
Now, if you ask a dance promoter
what creates his biggest problem,
he is most likely to growl that it
is Hollywood. Today it is a she
doing the growling, she being Kay
Ford of Name Bands. Inc., which
started out last fall with plans for
monthly dances at the District Na
tional Guard Armory. Not much
has been heard from Name Bands,
Inc. in recent months, however. The
reason, Mrs. Ford says, is that it
takes name bands to attract the
dancers and non-dancing listeners
and name bands just haven't been
available.
It seems that the boys get out to
that Lotus-land on the West Coast
and very quickly learn to like it.
They put their neckties in mothballs,
don sports clothes, settle down to
soaking up sunshine and the easy
life of the tropics and refuse to
leave.
In view of all this, it is with some
elation that Name Bands, Inc. has
announced that Tommy Dorsey has
been lured away from Hollywood.
The sentimental gentleman of the
trombone and his orchestra will be
on hand Friday night at the armory.
There is r newspaper columnist
here in town w'ho deserves your
sympathy if you have any to spare
for people of that ilk. Frustrated,
that's what he is, or recently was.
Seems he was at some social
function not long back when the
talk, as it occasionally does in Wash
ington, got around to politics. Gen
Douglas MacArthur was mentioned
as a ‘ dark-horse’’ candidate for the
presidential nomination.
"Hah,” Mrs. Alf Heiberg, the for
mer Mrs. Douglas MacArthur, is
reported to have said. "Dark horse
with neon lights!”
That delighted the columnist and
he made a mental note to spread
the yarn widely among his constit
uents. He thought it was such a good
story, in fact, that he would save it
for Sunday. That was his mistake.
Before Sunday rolled around, his
syndicate boss, William Randolph
Hparst, decided Gen. MarArthur
was the man of the hour and the
syndicate couldn’t then condone
such levity.
It reduced this man we know to
word-of-mouth distribution of the
story, but he still has spread it
pretty far from the Statler's Em
bassy Room and the Shoreham
Blue Room.

It is the Duncan Sisters who are
given top-bUling in the Club Cairo's
present show’, but it is the Mayo
Brothers, who contribute the top
entertainment. They are extremely
energetic and expert tap dancers
and it is a pleasure to w’atch them
zip through a fast and lively turn.
The Lee Henderson Dancers are
above-average at their sort of
cabaret entertaining, too.
That Topsy and Eva routine
seems a bit tired, though, or maybe
the Duncan Sisters, who have, been
doing it since the early '20s are
getting a bit tired of it. It seems
that way, at any rate, to a man
who remembers Topsy and Eva as
a volatile, if corny, pair. The other
night, sad as it makes us to set
down the news, they were merely
corny and didn't generate any ex
citement at all.

Walking along the street the
other evening, we came upon a
large valentine drawn on the side
walk. It was a handsome affair, its
lacy filigree carefully and pain
stakingly chalked in. In the center,
in bold and graceful script, was its
tender tribute:

»°n °nyo»er ^ ,
If you’re tired of "cigarette hangover”—tired of that stale,
musty taste in your mouth—that dry, smoked-out feel
ing in your throat—remember this . . .
From all over America, scores of smokers have written us —
entirely unsolicited — to report that since they changed to
philip morris they enjoy a milder smoke, a fresher, cleaner
smoke than they’ve ever known before.
And there’s a good reason. Remember: Of all leading
cigarettes, PHILIP MORRIS—and only PHILIP MORRIS—
is recognized by eminent nose and throat specialists as
definitely less irritating!
