Broadway theatergoers proved last week that they still long for carefree exuberance. The street's newest hit, which ran its advance sales up to $2.5 million within days after opening, is a sweet, sentimental throwback called Me and My Girl. Produced in 1937 in London, it made a hit of The Lambeth Walk, ran four years and survived being bombed out of two venues during World War II. Painstakingly reconstructed from sketchy records by the composer's son and revived in the West End last year, Me and My Girl treats its material with respect: there is no modernization...
...thrown in his lot with Joseph Baum, the inventive New York impresario who created The Four Seasons and Windows on the World. Baum now runs a promising, quasi-postmodern creation called Aurora, where eclectic new French-American cooking prevails. Among the better menu choices are the roasted pigeon with sweet garlic, lime-broiled guinea fowl and a pungent lemon hazelnut torte. Enthusiastic over what he calls le reve americain (the American dream), Pangaud says, "I love the open-mindedness of this country. You can try much more than in Europe with food and with your life.

...after ending his partnership in a two-star restaurant in Condom, France, he went to Washington to cook at the Watergate Hotel, in an intimate setting named for him, Jean-Louis. He is a master at game and sweetbread dishes, and his soups and sauces based on purees of sweet peppers are seductively silken. Such enticing food enthralled an audience that included President Reagan, who celebrated his 70th birthday at Jean-Louis and thanked the chef for immigrating...
Some names have a special kind of imprint. The famous Miss Hogg, whose father cruelly named her Ima, had good reason to grow up scowling, but maybe she would have even if she had been named something sweet, like Charlotte. Anyone named James Oliver Buswell IV carries his parents' announcement of a certain view of the child's place in the world, but the effect of such a view probably differs considerably from one person to another. Someone with a name like Otto inevitably knows the burdens of an ethnic heritage, but so, presumably, do Madonna Ciccone and Fernando Valenzuela...
