altogether mu.ch more tame than the cheetah Embery brought to a previous Orient Express gala. , The dinner itself supposedly was modeled on actual recipes served aboard the express in its heyday; the Omni interpreted these mto a menu that commenced with salad in a dilled dressing, and a novel surf 'n' turf of fish filet and filet mignon. (Alice Toklas, the doyenne of 1920s gastronomes who knew the French cuisine of the era like few other Americans, once asked quite plain- lively if railway meals were cooked Dinner aside, the guests largely alternated between dancing to the Bill Green Orchestra (which frankly outdid itself that evening) and roulette and blackjack in the casino. The casino draw, beyond the allure of chance itself, was the opportunity to win chances on a handsome array of prizes. The party's major drawing, however, was separate and limited to 200 tickets; this was for a trip for two aboard the modern Venice Sim- pion-Orient Express. This prize is awarded annually by Keith Renni- - son, a representative of the railway company, who said: ''Everyone's been so delighted.by our participa- lion in this party each year that we've just kept going right along with it. It's an important event to supporL" That the event has great import (it rais~ about $65,000 for Kidney Foundation research, educational and patient services programs) was a thought stressed by chair- ' -· in the locomotives.)
casino gambling, amusing enter- tainment and a dinner chosen to reflect the cuisines of the countries along the express train's route. The dinner tables, usually named for railway stations in European cities so obscure as to panic the geo- graphically insecure, this year bor- rowed monikers from the b1Stros and boits de nuit that gave Paris its enviable reputation during the Fitzgerald-Hemingway era. The evening's final destination traditionally has been Istanbul's fabled souk, the Marrakesh Market, but chairman Christi Faires this year chose to concentrate upon the London-Paris leg of the route, a choice that allowed for plenty of 1920s Gallic bacchanalia as exem- plified by the Can-Can and le jazz hct. Much of this was offered by the Karizma Dance Company, which during a surprise dinner show first sent its members on the floor as jazz-crazed flappers, and later re- turned for a leggy can-can that enlightened some of the younger guests as to why "great gams" used to be a favorite expression. The exhibition dance team of Felix Chavez and Sandi Renee stole the show with a sizzling post-entree tango so hot that it threatened .to melt the baked Alaska desserts.

Correc;tlon: The Richard J. and Patncia Carlson listed among county filings as being in default on a relatively ~all $1,200.43 note are NOT the Voice of America director and his wife, the Swanson Foods heiress. I figured it might have been their oversight. But Richard W. Carlson, an S&L executive before going to VofA, wouldn't even make a l 200 oversight. ... And the Carroll Rigbter column must've listed my horoscope incorrectly under Taurus on Monday: "Be sure you are correct where facts and figures are concerned." Too late. Gael Greene (not Gail Green) is food critic for New York Magazine (not the NY Times). Dept. of Stupid-Mistakes closed. Itemized: Arthur Oilman, the SD Museum of Photographic Arts director, is home from a show in Japan. And not a moment too soon. OIiman•~ econ~mic horror story: After friends picked up the dinner tab, he offered to spring for after- ~inner drinks. And so they went to a little club where a Filipino woman sang American jazz, and the prices were pure Japanese. Three drinks: $60.... Rep. Jack Kemp, who's abandoned his own quest for the Presidency, has told an SD Chamber of Commerce delegation he feels the chances of a Bush-Kemp ticket this fall are "one-in-five."

Soutbwes irlines, taking over sponsorship of the Sea World ~ky tower, has painted a 737 jetliner to look Ii a killer whale. It'll land at Lindbergh for the first time on Laturday. THE NAMES: Councilman "8ruce H nderson sponsored a ' resolution praising Howard Jarvis and the decade of Prop. 13. Then he left the council meeting before discussion (and unanimous approval) of Prop. Y, the bond issue that'll help fill the school construction gap left by Prop. 13. ... North County behaviorist Bar- bara Brown (she pioneered the term biofeedback) is writing her eighth book, "Smarten Up," on how to improve adult intelli- gence. It'll be out from Macmil- lan in the fall of '89.... Washing- ton journalist -Frank Mankiewicz talks to the City Club on June 10.

SALTED: At the Cove Theater, Manager Spence Wilson is cele- brating his 60th year as a La Jolla movie-house manager. An old friend tried to buy Wilson some popcorn as they talked the other night. "Oh, no!" Wilson said. "I really can't. I'm allergic." Alison DaRosa assists with the Neil Morgan column.
