TOWN HALL DANCE
POPULAR NEW BAND Owing to the opening of the Centennial Musical Festival in the Town Hall on Saturday night the weekly Town Hall Dance was held in the Concert Chamber, which was filled to capacity, a number having to be turned away. A feature of the dance was the appearance of a new band —Fred Gedson's Aces—and its excellent music for both modern and old-time dances was a feature of the function. This band was assisted by the vocalists, Misses Irene Brookes and D. Idour, and Messrs James Macfarlane and Arthur Waller Among those present were:— Mesdames M. Jamieson, Brown, R. Godsall. A.
