We think it should be known that the modest follow who pinch-hit 1.000 average for us while we were trek-ib throush New EnRland was Joe Appelgate of our feature department. Friend Appelgate was so conscientious in his newly-acquired duties that vi.Mt.ed as many of the nightspots he could crowd into the two weeks we were away, and now HE needs a vacation. Even Jorgenson, owner of the Wivel In West Fifty-fourth, took the opportunity to advise us that Evelyn Nesbit Is still packing 'em in at his Scandinavian rendezvous on W. 54th St. and that a new show opened there this week.

But let's get back to bulness. The MarLne Roof of the Hotel Bov-ert becomes of age next week when It celebrates its 21st anniversary. The Roof the first of Brooklyn's roof gardens, we are told, and overlooks New York harbor with its thousands of interesting rights. The anniversary program will feature songs famous in the past 21 years as modernized by Will McCune. More gravy for Kduar Bergen Toylowns will be flooded with Charley McCarthy dolls this Vuletlde in the Shirley Temple manner.

Starting with the first circle on the left, we find William Farmer, orchestra conductor at the Promenade Cafe in Rockefeller Center. Next Is Rosa Rio, talented New Orleans miss who heads the divertissement prDjjram on the Marine Roof of the Hotel Bossert. She is a tricky piano player.

Pearl Wiuick coos that Russ Morgan and his orchestra has been signed for the dancing, and Spencer Hare wants it known that Lou Breese is not only the musical director but has been signed as such for five years. It may be the music of Eliseo Grenet, the air-conditioned room, the authentic Spanish entertainment or the charm of Boss Gonzales, but the Club Yumuri continues to be one of Broadway's busiest nightclubs.

Bunny Berigan and his orchestra will remain through the Summer.

These warm days have brought to us loads of praise for the Beau Rivaae at Sherpshead Bay. The Marine Deck Is a feature there with diners visualizing themselves sitting on the deck of a liner as the cool breezes sweep over them. To add to the illusion, there is a flag mast in the "bow" of the deck with real lifeboats and life buoy. draped on the rails. Dave Johnson's orchestra vies with the sea breezes for popular acclaim.

Another borough rendezvous still a favorite with the customers Is the Italian Village on the Hotel St. George. Eli Dantzig is now making personal appearances nightly with his band and he has specialities for each night. A "Star Is Born" amateur contest is his latest brain-child with the winner Joining his band as vocalist In the Fall.

The lighting effects nnd Interior decorations blend harmoniously with the rare beauty of the murals and the new room is destined to become a favorite gathering place for the Bay Ridge smart set. The lounge is furnished with comfortable bright red round cushion settees.
