FEMININE VOCALISTS

The re-decorated Metropole Ballroom, which has a stellar attraction in Ernie Kaai's Rhythm Kings, is not only retaining its regular patrons but constantly gaining new ones, the band being rated as one of the principal reasons. À pleasing feature of the band is the pair of feminine vocalists, Wwho alternate in singing with the band. Another popular feature is the new American cocktail bar, which is adjacent to the entrance to the ballroom proper. During the past few nights the management has received many compliments on the decorations, especially the changes and improvements on the orchestra platform, which now has a new system of changing coloured lights and moving scenery. Novelty numbers: are being played every night, including Kaai's own arrangement of "The Little Boy Told the Sexton and the Sexton Tolled the Bell."
