The Eddie Graf 11 member orchestra will be the feature attraction on this occasion and according to Jerry Jackman, a member of the management, it took quite some negotiation to sécure the orchestra for Saturday's dance. The orchestra is one of the most popular and also one of the busiest in Ontario and is a considerable investment for Club Annrene. However, Mr. Jackman is confident Club Annrene will be filled to capacity on this occasion. It may be quite some time before music and dance lovers in this area will have 'the opportunity to enjoy an orchestra of such a high calibre. To mention a few of the latest engagements of the Eddie Graf Orchestra, and on top of the list is the 'Inn on the Park" New Year's eve; several Palais Royale engagements, numerous conventions, college and high school dances. As a show band it has been featured at the O'KEEFE Centre, Massey Hall, Maple Leaf Gardens, with many top stars such as Jerry Vale, Rita Pavone, Jack Jones and Dick Haymes. The band leader, Eddie Graf, is also an outstanding arranger and has made arrangements for Juliette, Gordie Tapp, Tommy Hunter, Ivan Romanoff and many other TV and radio shows. The orchestra'a latest RCA album "And I Love Her" can now be heard across Canada. With a background like this, it's no wonder expectat- ions are high. "By the way", Mr. Jackman said, "an ex- cellent vocalist is adding to the high'quality of the band."
