PETER PAN.
"Swing and eway" is the motto of Johnny Madden's new band, and the customary throng of dancers on Saturday evening expressed their appreciation a enjoyment of modern syncopation. Amongst the featured numbers was "Silhouette in the Moonlight," while the ever-popular "Lambeth Walk" had its usual inclusion in response to general requests.
Encores of favourite old-time melodies sustained the jollity of the programme, and Mr. Madden'e show songs, with novel orchestral effects, were received with hearty applause. The air-conditioning installation in the cabaret ensured the comfort of the guests, despite the hot weather. All cubicles and lounges were crowded, "after the races" parties contributing a festive air to the dance aescmbiy.
Among thoee present were: Mesdamos A. J. Watkins, M. Mayn, 1 Bevan, R. Masters, T. Kane* D. Morgan (Hamilton), Allan Hills, T. French, I. Ziegler, M. Aslett; Misses Jean and C. Morris, Dot Dignan, P. Berg (Rotorua), Pewy Dent, Gladys Culliford, Jean Myers, Zoe Madigan, A. Barclay, Marie Smith, Wilma Craig, Avis Edgecumbe,
