WHERE TO DINE WHERE TO STOP WHERE TO GO WHAT TO SEE mmmmmmmmm IHAliR MOVIES MUSIC iMssSssffiaia3ss Qru ihsL Jdwjv Ted Lewis Still Ted Lewis, and Everybody's Happy By Will Leonard his way. He slows down "after the first 25 minutes, but his pace for the subsequent half hour still is fast and bright, as well as brutal. He uses practically none of his well worn "ugly dame" routine, for a change, and his curve ball is breaking more sharply than ever. Cabaret Calendar )NDAY: Gene Barry, who was a singer and actor long TED LEWIS IS ONE of the very few constants in the night club world. Dixieland rises and falls and rises.

Swing swings and unswings. Bebop pops up and bops out. "Cool" jazz becomes lukewarm. Modern jazz ceases to be "modern" after six or eight short years, so they change its name to "progressive." But Ted Lewis plays the same screaming, shrill clarinet that was popular right after World War he offers the same "When My Baby Smiles at Me" that he's been doing since he helped write it in 1920, he's still inquiring whether all present are happy, he even is wearing the same high hat he won in a crap game exactly 45 years ago and he's still putting on a good show! Besides Ted singing and playing a generous portion of oldies, there's Bet E. Martin warbling "Chicago, That Toddlin' Town" and a couple of duets with the leader; Chop Chop, the MS before he became "Bat Masterson" three years ago on it I ir bT WHERE TO GO WHAT TO SEE IN SPORTS Consult The Tribune's sports pages daily and Sunday.

Tax television, will make his Chicago supper club debut in the Empire room, of the Palmer House. The adagio team of Lawrence and Carroll will share the bill. Jane Russell will begin a three-week singing engagement at the Living room, with the comedy team of Norman and Dean.

Phil Upchurch and his twisters will oust Dixieland from Basin Street in the French Village. Tuesday: Lenny Bruce, least well of the sick comics, will try a new Chicago room when he arrives for three weeks at the Gate of Horn. "The Death of Bessie Smith," by Edward Albee, will replace Jean Genet's "The Maids" at Playwrights at Second City, on a double bill with another Albee play, "The Zoo Story" "Everybody Loves Opal," which ran for 21 performances on Broadway last fall, will open in Summit at the Candlelight Dinner playhouse, which began as a straw hat theater and seems to have turned into a year 'round operation Remo Biondi, mandolinist, will open in the Florentine room of the Italian Village on Monroe street. Saturday: Phyllis Dilter and the Gold Coast Jazz band will share the stage at the Aragon ballroom. At the Water Tower Inn CDNNIE EBERLING was a serious piano student, and now she's a serious piant) player in the Little Egypt room.

At the piano bar in the Water Tower inn, she plays Bizet and Brahms, Puccini and Verdi, and the quiet, orderly patronage seems to approve. The statue of Little Egypt against the west wall is a little unladylike. Connie, who teaches piano at Roosevelt university and once played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Busch in a special concert for a music teachers' meeting in 1948 at the Eighth Street theater, is every note the lady tho a custom is on the way to being established that a dollar bill accompanying a musical request is acceptable. At the Velvet Swing NEVIN BARCLAY is the newest musician at the imitation speakeasy on Walton place. He plays banjo between stints by the Dixieland band at the Velvet Swing, and it's a banjo straight out of the which the room strives to connote.

Why not? Nevin started plunking on the doggoned thing back in his home town of Macomb, 111., in high 'school in 1924, joined the union in 1929, played a lot of speakeasies around Chicago. "Then," he recalls, "the banjo just died. Took up the guitar in the '30s. I was at the Old Heidelberg when the man asked why I didn't play banjo again. I sent home for my old one, and they got it out of the smoke house for me, all covered with frost or something.

I been around so long I remember when Bob Wrigley bar Turney was at the old Warm Friends on Wilson avenue." only Chinese magician with an Irish face, and Charlene; the ballroom team of George and Peggy de Mario; and Eddie Chester, strutting with Lewis in the traditional "Me and My Shadow." A hip young man who1 has no tolerance for the ricky ticky corn of yesteryear declared after Ted's show in the Polynesian Village a few nights ago: hate to admit it, but I loved it." Ted Lewis' fiftieth anniversary in show business is several years behind him, but he should be around for quite a few more seasons. After dancing, prancing playing, singing, strutting, chasing Chop Chop's escaped pigeons around the stage, and burning up all the energy a kid would be expected to possess, he came over to our table the other night, and destroyed a goodly glass of bourbon and a heaping order of dinner without showing any signs of being tired or bored. Everybody was happy. In Athens OUR FAVORITE movie star of Greek filmdom is Beba Kyriakidou. We've never seen any Greek films, but Beba, movie queen fresh off the plane from Attica, is something to see at the Athens cafe on South Halsted street.

She doesn't have much English, but she works hilariously and charmingly in the universal languages of mime, song, and humor. This spirited Athenian presents "Never on Sunday" as you've never heard it before, transforms herself into a Spanish flower girl, demonstrates the Twist, runs thru a wardrobe and half a dozen roles. There are a couple of sinuous dancing girls whose scantily draped torsos undulate in time with George Tsibides' wild bouzouki, but Beba Kyriakidou is the star of this Grecian revue. At Mister Kelly IT'S TOUGH to be a girl singer immediately preceding Jack E. Leonard on a night club bill.

Claire Hogan, at Mister Kelly's, intones an excellent set of varied tunes, including a Dixieland medley dedicated nostalgically to her nights with the late Jimmy Dorsey's short-lived "Dorseyland" band of the late '40s. Then Leonard comes on and stomps all over the customers, the musicians, the management, the kitchen help, the entire cabaret, and anything or anybody else that gets in HOME OF THE SINGING WAITERS GERM 4N Q.
