Come to the Cabaret, old chum. This time you'll hardly recognize the place. The Kit Kat Klub, where Sally Bowles tried to sing away the gathering Nazi storm clouds in the 1966 musical Cabaret, is a real cabaret now, a converted nightclub where theatergoers can sip drinks (but can't rustle programs, handed out only after the show) while immersing themselves in Berlin decadence circa 1929.

Since she skyrocketed to fame in Salzburg four years ago, the music-lovers and critics of the world's musical capitals have counted it a privilege to hear her sing. Last week it looked as though music-lovers in Washington, D.C., might be denied this privilege. Reason: Washington's only large auditorium, Constitution Hall, is owned by the Daughters of the American Revolution, who are so proud they won't eat mush--much less let a Negro sing from their stage...
