“For heaven’s sake, Judge, Jr. writes J. N. N. of Killeen, Tex., “here we've been following you as the last gasp in the matter of up to dateness and you ask us if we've heard “Sleepy Time Gal” on the records!) Why we had that way out here three months ago!” Sure—you had the Charleston out there a year ago but it’s still popular . I merely try to record what pieces and things are popular at the moment regardless of their age... . take Bronx cocktails, for example ..... why I can remember my dear old father talking about how he used to like them when he was a young man about town and they’re still popular to-day! ... . Ain’t nature wonderful! .... . it’s curious how a thing becomes popular even after it’s old . . . . take the case of “Gigolette” from Charlot’s Revue when it was running in London over a year ago records were made of it over here but it wasn’t popular atall.....as soon as Charlot opened on this side you heard “Gigolette” everywhere. he Speaking of cocktails, I’ve already 9,786 letters from indignant readers asking me why I didn't print the recipe for Bacardi cocktail strive to please two parts Barcardi, one part lime juice and a dash of Grenadine. he Quite a book review this week .... “Cover Charge,” by Cornell Wool- rich, whoever he is, interested me very much it’s a fine book, a story of New York night life, and believe me, Cornell knows his wi around! his chief characters, Alan and Veronica, are taken from a well-known dancing team repeat it’s a darn fine book another good one this week a very clever parody of Milne’s “When We Were Ve Young,” called “When We Were Rather Older,” by Fairfax Downey and illustrated by our own Jefferson Machamer, who does the “Laughs from the Shows” I think I like “Politeness” the best—here’s part of it If people ask me I always tell "em “['m fair enough, I've no kick coming.” If people ask me, I come right back with: “I'm O. K., and hew’s your plumbing? fh The annual “Dutch Treat” show was held the other night and it was a great affair for the benefit of our little readers who never heard of the Dutch Treat I will inform them that it is a club composed of well- known writers, artists, bankers, ete., yeah and even editors... . . yes, sir, it was a great affair—at least 1 can remember the first couple of hours were anyway! pf The Six Best “Steppers:” “If You Were Somebody Else”— (Rainbow Rose). “A Girl in Your Arms”—(Sweet- heart Time). “No Fooling” Nights). “The Girl Friend). “Hawaiian Nights’—(No show). “Whistle Away Your Blues”— (Greenwich Follies). POY — (Palm Beach Friend”’—(The Girl Golfer's Advice to His Last Ball EAR white sphere, I pray you, Heed the words I state, Never once forget that It pays to go straight. Were your other brothers Good, do you suppose? No—and now where are they? Heaven only knows. ‘Tread the straight and narrow, Never slice or hook, Run along the fairway, But don’t play in the brook, Play upon the green, lad, That is fun enough; Don’t play in that nasty grass Down there—it’s too rough. Bogie man will get you In the woods so dark; Come and see the birdie, That will be a lark. Look at all your brothers. Is it worth the cost? Dear white little ballie— Damit don’t get lost. G.
