An "ace" American coloured trump pet player has just been added to the swing band at the Winter Garden thus giving the band a brass section which is considered by the management as being second to none in the city. Today there will be a tea dance with entertainment by the regular floor show artistes, and music by Nina Kellan's American orchestra. It is stated that within a few days another musician will be added to the dance band, Ballin and Charlie Ballin by this time needs no introduction to patrons of Farrens. He has brought his ventriloquist art to a fine point and Charlie, his assistant, never fails him. For a second turn during the evening, he provides sleight-of-hand, which is mystifying ud some of it he does while an arm's length from his victims. His change of programme on Friday included unusual stunts.
Farrens announce that they are presenting the largest fashion of the season on Friday, at which time they will introduce beautiful models, wearing about 40 costumes from Old Bond Street, locally established. The firm also has salons in Paris, London and Vienna. Tea costumes and evening gowns as well as sports wear will be included in the display.
