Brer Fox Follies

The Brer Fox are presenting one of the smartest floorshow this week in their annals, a total of six numbers being performed. On Saturday night this exposition met with applause from all attending. Larissa Anders, solo danseuse, interpreted an exotic number, entitled "Slave Dance," which she followed later in the evening with her Cuban Rhumba. A modern novelty item, done in ensemble, by the Follies, was the smartest turn of the evening, a fitting climax to the show. "Deep Purple," by special arrangement of Volsky, ballet-meister, was well done, while the interspersed turns hardly could be improved upon, Casanova Dance Band Al Moon, one of the leading members of the Gloria Andico dance band at the Casanova Ballroom, is being featured in new versions of two old dance numbers, "Organ Grinder's Swing" and "Sonny Boy," arrangements by Moon and Jefferson Andico. Moon presents both numbers in a comedy style and both have been well received by patrons and are requested numerous times each night. The Andico band has five good vocalists, including the leader, Miss Gloria. The ballroom. is open all night and has only foreign hostesses.

"Goodbye, Mr. Chips"

Robert Donat and Greer Garson soon will be at the Rory.
