This group dressed in Dixieland Straw hats and matching vests and appeared to enjoy them- selves very much. ; After a short intermission, the curtain opened upon blue skies and swaying palm trees in a colourful scene from "South Pacific". The audience gasped in delight at the women and girls garbed in their multi-coloured grass skirts and leis, and the men in their pert sailor caps and ties. They proceeded to sing Happy Talk, after which the men stepped forward to do a snappy rendition of There Is Nothing Like a Dame, throwing their hearts into it, and tossing their sailor caps out into the air when finished. The women came back with A Wonderful Guy. Dorothy Lonsdale gave a thrilling rendition of Some Enchanted Evening. Norman Watson sang Younger Than Springtime to 'a blushing young maiden. This portion ended with all singing Bali Hi, accom- panied by Alex on clarinet. Edna on piano and George on base.
