NEW METROPOLE CABARET

Colourful dance music was featured at the New Metropole Cabaret on Saturday evening by Sammy Lee and his Americanadians, who presented new phases of syncopated melodies in vogue at leading overseas cabarets. Novelty was the keynote throughout the programme, the trumpeters and vocal trio adding to the effect with their specialised talents.

Swing adaptations of lilting numbers including "Little Brown Jug"' and "Tisket-a-Tasket," were received with hearty applause, and spirited requests for encore* were made. Hoy Lester and Bob Reid were responsible for rhythmic action songs. and Miss Joy Rovelle contributed theme songs. A twenty-first birthday celebration was musically honoured. The "Palais ' Glide" and "Lambeth Walk" were popularly interspersed amongst the routine of fox trots and waltz improvisations.

Among those present were: —Mesdames Jack Marriott, H. A. Swales, John Ryan, S. Anderson, A. E. Neville, F. Williams, A. Stone, McDonald, D. Roberts. Misses Shirley King, Betty Delpratt, Mendail Hutchison, Joan Kelly, Zena Andrews, Marjory Smith, B. Thompson. Marge Cubitt, June Ashton, S. White, Maureen Clifford, Jocelyn Randle, R.
