LONDON'S SUNDAY CABARET
f Padre Francis Bowyer, R.A.F. Chaplain, said when interviewed by the "Daily Mail": "An ordinary Sunday afternoon in London would drive a saint to drink —if he could find one." He was attending the Officers' Sunday Club, holding its first party in more spacious quarters at Grosvenor House. From the moment an officer pays his 3s admission to the party he is looked after by vivacious girls and women. At a table beside the dance floor his "hostess" for the afternoon plies him —and a mixed group of other Service officers—with tea, cakes, and conversation. * \ There are fit'tj' of these tables, pre- ■; sided over by some of London's most beautiful debutantes. Recently prayers ; offered by an R.A.F. chaplain were I followed by a cabaret show. The ;-Dowager Lady Townshend, founder | and chairman of the club, explained: "We have had 14.C00 officers at these parties since they started. In these new premises we shall be able to en- | tertain as many as 1000 every Sunday."
