Secoud, for the first ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. THE RIVERSIDE. Thames Riviera, the popular riverside resort, reopened success fully two weeks ago. Grounds, gardens, redecorations, cuisine wines, all came up to expectations and the entertainment provided was capital, but without being out of the ordinary. The hotel Paris, Bray, started its seasot last week. This establishment with the management of which Colonel ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. QUEEN'S. The return of Will Honder and his band has made a notable change, both in the music and the business. Hender himself and hit instruments do a great deal of work and take up a lot of room. There is a big fellow, fondly called a marimba-xylophone, which is capable of all sorts of noises from tiopical storms to the cooing of love-sick pigeons. Until I met this, ...

With the same regularity as the first cuckoo is heard to herald spring comes the statement that there is nothing to do in London on Sunday night, nothing to but visit a kinema, or go to some private theatrical performance if you happen to be one of the lucky ones.

In port of the talkative Maurice, we have many old favourites, includ ing Mr. Flotsam and Mr. Jetsam, Nairn on ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. ROADHOUSE AUDITIONS. After a few more Sundays of these auditions Harry Adams will probably have something like a corner in cabaret talent, and be able to sub-let to his less enterprising brethren. Last Sunday's programme brought out a number of artists, both known and unknown, most of them fit to ccupy a position in a first-class programme. The opening- was in the ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. THE DANCE. Dancing is in full swing in hundreds of places, both great and small, from the aristocratic floor of the Grosvenor House to the dingy but no less jolly palais de danse of the far East End.
