9 This Clipping From, WHERE MAGAZINE NEW YORK, N. Y. After Dark New York?╟╓s summer is drawing to a close, calendar-wise if not temperature-wise, andean just another weekend it will be Labor Day, This means that fall and winter schedules will resume in the city?╟╓s restau rantfl night clubs, theatres, and all places of | entertainment. Many new acts, put-standing among them to be French ?╟≤; singer Edith Piaf at the Waldorf?╟╓sp Empire Room, will be appearing, but .in the meantime the last of the spm-mer entertainers are doing very nicely by after-dark enthusiasts. ALL-AMERICAN MOOD The Waldorf-Astoria?╟╓s Starlight I Roof, which has showcased a series of outstanding Latin-American and Spanish acts throughout the summer, has engaged one of America?╟╓s most beloved orchestras to close its successful summer season. The Glenn Miller orchestra, still together and adhering to the late, popular bandleader?╟╓sTradition, opens there this Monday, jAugust 25,--under the direction of Ray:. McKinley. McKinley and Glenn Miller met and worked together starting in the early 1930?╟╓s, and were associated from then on, with McKinley assuming leadership of the then-wartime dance band when Miller was killed, during World War II. We predict much nostalgia on the part of Starlight Roof patrons during this engagement, with such wonderful favorites as ?╟úLittle Brown Jug?╟Ñ and ?╟úSt. Louis Blues March?╟Ñ to be fea-_ tured both in concert and in dance-able versions. The arrangements will I assuredly adhere to the recorded ver- ?√ß sions of these timeless songs, since McKinley (a drummer) had much to do I with the original arrangements and always played an important part in the Miller music while Miller was ?√ß alive. Rounding out a full entertainment fare for the engagement will be the Lenny Hambro Quintet, and vocalist Lorry Peters, with the Waldorf?╟╓s own Bela Babai orchestra alternating with Ray McKinley?╟╓s Glenn Miller orches-H tra for dancing. Complete shows begin at 9:30 p.m. and at 12:15 a.m. nightly. AT THE LATIN QUARTER One outstanding bill of headliners goes out and another comes in this week at the Latin Quarter, where pint-sized singer Tina Robin and comic Paul Gilbert wind up a successful stint, and another outstanding vocalist and comedian open on Wednesday Augiist 27.

Miss Sherwood, famed cafe singer, will be performing in her own individual style, wearing a shawl, holding a cymbal, and singing Sherwood classics like ?╟úLazy RLer.?╟Ñ Also added to the revue have been a group of jugglers, imported from France. The rest of the revue, encompassing numbers representative of around-the-wprld entertainment, remains the same under the excellent backing of Jo Lombardi?╟╓s orchestra. SHEARING IN THE FLESH There?╟╓s only one George Shearing, and he and his sextet are currently in our town in their only New York engagement of the year, at the popular Eastside restaurant,* The Embers, 161 East" 54 th Street. k Opening with his own composition, ?╟úLullaby of Birdland,?╟Ñ Shearing progresses through a number of favorites both old and new, with ?╟úRoses of Picardy,?╟Ñ ?╟úCheek to Cheek,?╟Ñ ?╟úI?╟╓ve Got You Under My Skin,?╟Ñ and George Gershwin?╟╓s ?╟úMine?╟Ñ leading the old and some newer Marvin Fisher numbers bringing the whole thing up to the latest minute. ?╟úWhen Sunny Gets Blue,?╟Ñ played by the bass, drums, M A XIMILLIA N BERG ERE and his orchestra alternate with Gunnar Hansen?╟╓s orchestra in Rendez-V ous Room and Shearing?╟╓s piano, is most outstanding of these. , There?╟╓s never a dull moment at this outstanding supper club .(although a unique hi-fi ceiling screens sounds ?o that you can hear just what you want to hear), so the Milton Seely Trio is also on hand to play when Shearing and his men are taking a breather.
