Camp Entertainers

CONCERT AT TRENTHAM That the men of the Forces appreciate good entertainment was fully demonstrated on Wednesday when the executive committee of the Official Camp Entertainers arranged yet another first-class programme. Mr. Eric Harison and his concert party were responsible for the programme. The pretty and attractively gowned girls in this concert party always draw crowded houses.

Misses Irene Spidy (piano) and Gracie Vickers (drums) provided the music, and Mr. John Smith, assisted by Charlie Bryant, was responsible for the lighting effects. Behind the scenes arranging the wardrobe, was Mrs. Harry Painter, who worked like a trojan all the evening, the quickness of the items presented being due to her valuable help. All items were encored, the Y.M.C.A. theatre resounding with almost deafening applause.

Members of the company were Misses Pat Greenfield-Brown, Jan Kelly, Jean Gilmer, Margaret and Alison Armour, Jessie Stroud, Olga Miller, Lesly Jackson, Margaret Arlow, Celia Lutzky, Ruth Skerman, Pat Smith, Kath Connell, Pat McKinnon, Betty Maddock, M. Grey (Featherston), — Gerrard, Mrs. Painter, and Messrs. Harry Painter, Jim Crawford, and M. Cook.

At the conclusion of the concert, Captain Huse, on behalf of the Camp Commandant, thanked Mr. Eric Harison for his delightful show. The guests were entertained at No. 1 Training Unit.

The executive wish to thank the Automobile Association and members of the party who drove out their own cars, and also Mrs. Chapman and Mr. Alston.
