... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. SUPPER-TIME AT THE TROCADERO. Although this C. B. Cochran cabaret has now been running for some months every night at 11.30 sharp, it has by no means lost any of its original attractiveness.

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. LOLITA COIDOBA. Among the new acts at the Queen's is Lolita Coidoba, a South-American dancer, lately with Blackbirds at the Pavilion, and a member of the original Parisian company.

... The Literary Lounger. By Alan Kemp '-fi Genius in Slippers. There is something to be said for the view that the less known about the personal lives and characteristics of geniuses, the better for our appreciation of their art.
