New Casanova Orchestra

Although installed at the Casanova Ballroom lo than one week, Nick Korin and his orchestra are already in high favour with patrons and bid fair to remain at the cabaret for a long period. Versatility is the keynote of the band, each of the eleven musicians being specially talented.

The band plays the new swing music but to a certain extent specializes in pleasing novelty numbers, at which Korin is quite adept. Aided by his extensive library of music Korin is prepared to play both old and new favourites if requested The Casanova cocktail bar opens at 7 pr. and the ballroom proper one hour later.
