"KOLO" DANCE REHEARSAL. A dress rehearsal of the "Kolo," or national dance of Yugoslavia, was held last evening in preparation for the Yugoslav Club Ball, to be held in the Peter Pan Cabaret on Wednesday evening. Dating from the ninth century, this dance has a great number of "figures - ' or changes, about half a dozen of which will be performed at the ball. It was specially performed for Prince George and PrincesfMarina a year ago. At last night's dress rehearsal the white satin and colour embroidered costumes provided a beautiful spectacle. The Tamburitza Orchestra, of eleven national instruments, with the players in their many-coloured comic opera dress, provided a colourful aspect. The committee has spent some £300 in costumes and instruments, some of which have been specially imported for the occasion. The "Kolo" dance will be broadcast from station IZB from 9 to 9.30 p.m. TIVOLI SUNDAY CONCERT. An enjoyable concert was held in the Tivoli Theatre last evening.
