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.

Lcndley, who used to run cabaret at the Piccadilly in conjunction with Harry Foster, and more recently was on his own account, has now severed hie connection with the entertainment.

... . 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. This youth is doubtless due to the regular infusion of new blood. Chief among the new acts is that of the Jerez Brothers. Their make-up is strictly American down to the j large ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. HOTELS DE PARIS. Miller and Farrell opened at the Cafe de Paris on Monday. Their chief reputation here rests on their gramophone work.

... . 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.

... . 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. 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. As a fact, this it quite a fallacy, probably in spired by the apparent, deadntfss of the West ...

... . By IVAN PATRICK GORE. THE HOLIDAY The sudden heat wave and glorious weather on Monday threw a monkey-wrench into the holiday machinery of hotel, restaurant, and club cabaret. London--that is to say, the London that mostly has the cash to indulge in dinner and supper amusement--had dashed away at the first sign of the sun, and dinner tables that should have been crowded were desolate, ...
