After Dark
Rain on the Roof Is Something
That a Man Just Can’t Escape
By HABBY MacABTHUB
Rain is many things to many \
people. At the right time it is to y
a farmer a thing of beauty and at ,
the wrong time he stands there \
futilely cursing it. At 6 o’clock, «
after a hot, humid day, it is refresh- '
ment if you're taking your shoes 1
off at home, something to snarl at
, if the first drops hit you in the t
face as you walk out the door bound i
for a bacchanalian orgy. To the t
management of the Shoreham Ter- t
race or the Roger Smith Hotel’s
Starlight Roof, rain in the daytime <
is something to be condoned; after <
all, their shrubbery does need it.
Rain at night is something else, a *
curse put upon mankind by the
devil himself.
Rain has been haunting Sammy r
Seymour ever since he again took i
up his stance in front of his orches- 1
tra on the Starlight Roof. Rain i
means {jacking up the instruments :
and fleeing to drier quarters. It
mearts hoping the piano won't be
so far out of tune the next day
that Nini Baker won’t be able to
play It at all. It means all sorts of
confusion and when the customers
become unhappy with the elements
a bandleader begins to feel that
they’re mad at him, too. The un
happy thing about it all is that the
weather around here this time of
the year is somewhat less predict
able than the whims of the most
capricious woman you ever knew.
The weatherman, after one of
I these steaming days, can predict
! thundershowers in the evening and
know he has just got down a bet
with 8-to-5 odds in his favor. But
it might not rain and he will have
touted a lot of people off of getting
out into the open, so the weather-!
man just does his best in the face;
of a set of whimsical elements.
Well, trying to outguess the .
1 weather got Mr. Seymour down not j
long ago and he thought he'd relax
on an overnight trip to Norfolk. In
the middle of the night, When he
j had just begun to dream of a clear
starlit night on the Starlight Roof, j
j there was a splash. Right in his (|
face—splash! Rain, he growled and, i
growling some other things, got up
; to close the window. Didn't help,
j though. The cabin roof was leaking
; and it rained right in his face again
.when he got back in bed.

Mel Torme, the 22-year-old with
molasses colored hair, a yen for
butterscotch candy and a voice that
sounds like a mixture of both, re
turns to the air tonight with his
own program on NBC. We tell you
this only because Mr. Torme's name
came somehow into the conversa
tion the other night at the Old New
Orleans. "Did you ever see him?"
asked Ted Alexander, the Sazerac
Room’s singer and bass player. "He
looks like a polished Mickey Roo

Hn thinks so, too. He has written
it again, with variations, (or the
Fred Astalre-Judy Garland musical,
“Easter Parade.” You can verify
this by getting Sande Williams, the
Shoreham Palladian Room maestro,
to play the “Easter Parade” music
for you. Even if you don’t think
the new song reminds you of the old
one, you’ll still like the Williams
version of the “Easter Parade”
Bcore.
It was Mr. Williams, incidentally,
who cooled oil all the Palladian
Room dancers the other night by
telling them there was one way to
beat the heat, then whipping his
orchestra into "Jingle Bells.” Had
em all doing a community sing be
fore he was through, too.
