late yesterday. Detective E. M. Renfro said the owners of the swanky night club probably ‘had been reluctant to report the robbery and tangle with the law for operating a gambling house illegally. ' . Mr. Renfro said: a score of movie celebrities, including Miss Grable, her bandleader husband Harry James, producers Sam ‘Wood and Edmund Goulding, Mrs. Irene Selznick and ‘Musical Director Leo Forbstein, all were witnesses to the looting. “1 was so scared I'm. not real sure what actually happened,” Miss Grable said. “It was all over in a minute or two.” She said four of the men lined up the guests against-the wall while the other two rifled the cashier's cage and a cafe. Many guests were wearing diamonds and expensive jewelry, she said, but the bandits made no attempt to rob them. The robbery took only a few minutes, but the bandits weren't in too zauch of a hurry to remember their manners. As they made their getaway in a shiny, black sedan, they wished everyone -a “Happy New Year.” :

Like all hotel clerks, Mrs. Justice gets a Headache from listening to pleas of stranded travelers who have no place to anchor. It was one of those busy nights. In game a young man possibly 25 years of age with a discharge button adorning his lapel. “I want a room -for my wife,- myself and our two children,” he said.

Then and there Mrs.-Justice took charge. “Now see here, young man,” she scolded. “There isn't a bit of sense in you hiring that suite tonight. If you don’t need it “until tomorrow, I'll save it for you. You save that money and maybe we can even help you scout around for a house.” Friendly Act Helps The kid had felt pretty low when he came in there.

. Bill Robinson Wows. Ta With Fancy Steps, Funny Gags

By HENRY BUTLER Where was the crowd that should |

have been at the Murat last’ night?

“Bojangles” Bill Robinson was there, backed up by a group of -firstrate vocalists, “and the show got better as the evening went on. After 60 years in show business,

.{Mr. Robinson held the whole thing

together and gave it life, He has the honesty, the wilfulness, the wonderful tap-dancing skill, but above all, the disarming simplicity of a great artist. He saw how the house looked—

poor orchestra, fairly crowded bal-

cony. And in his dressing room, between halves, he remarked, “I work to two people just the same as I do to 2000 people.” Bojangles did work, not just in the close-to-stage stuff, with the rapid ankle-work that should discourage those of his contemporaries who suffer from arthritis, but also in comedy. He redeemed the show from what might have been bad moments by his stories and gags. Mr. Robinson also gave good advice to aspiring tap-dancers here. Quizzed in intermission, he said, “Any young person who wants to be a dancer should not be an imitator. I've always tried to do things a lot of different ways, and it's a good thing my accompanists know me, for I never do the same step twice.” His accompanists on two: pianos last night were Harry Swanigan and Maurice Graham. They followed Mr. Robinson well.

Lynn Warren, vocalist; Ada Brown, also vocalizing, and the “Master Keys,” a male quartet outfit with guitar accompaniment. The male singing group made a great hit in both of its appearances. Miss Warren has a fine contralto voice which should be heard more widely and which should also be trained a bit more, especially in the upper registers. Her clarity of tone, however, and her earnestness give great promise. Ada Brown wowed the audience] with her versions of past and present popular songs. She has the

The “Master Keys,” the male quartet on last night's program, did fine work, much appreciated by the

audience.

Any sensible listener would much rather hear them do “Three Little Words": than hear the Rigoletto quartet, And any sensible member of the audience would like to plead with Bojangles to retract, his curtainspeech about retiring, )
