Miss Thelma Dandy charms the audience with her singing of the “Story Book Ball," introducing all those much-loved nursery rhyme characters, Jack Horner, 80-Peep. Tom-Tom, the King and Queen of Hearts, and many others, who appear from a book on the stage.

The recital concludes with a dainty solo by Miss Jean Reid, who is an outstanding dancer and who holds a diploma of the Royal Academy of Dancing. London.
