26a. One is after revolutionary massage---they're heavenly!
C?E?U???. Cherubim but need an O in place of the I!

Struggled with the bottom right, but only 35d to solve.

Drunken tenants had a ball in the afternoon (3,7)

t*e *a*s*n*

the dansant.

the dansant?

It's French.
Anagram of tenants had.
Means "tea dance".

Rex in Pig Latin would be X R , then add ay - giving you X Ray.
