TOWN HALL DANCE
The management of the Town Hall Dance will introduce to-night another much-discussed dance, the Palais Glide. Soon after the Lambeth Walk made its debut in London another dance came along that was much more popular with fashionable hostesses than the walk. It was called the Palais Glide, and it had a great deal more dignity—and was much less rough on the furniture—than the- Lambeth Walk. The Palais, Glide was assured of popularity when the Duke and Duchess of Kent did it one night at the ultra-smart Quaglino's haunt of royalty and .London's aristocracy. And it has the'advantage over the Lambeth Walk "that it can be done to many tunes, including "John Brown's Body" and "John Peel." In addition one man can dance with two or even three partners. Tonight from 7 to 8 Miss Betty Anderson and Mr Jack Robinson will conduct a special tuition session, which will give patrons a chance to learn the new dance free. The music will be supplied by Mr Alex. Swann's band of seven players, assisted by they radio vocalist. Mr James MacFarlane.
