The artists include Tui Northey, Jimmy Macfarlane, Arthur Lungley, Harold Bain, Alex. M'Dowcll, Kevin Dun, and Miss Abraham, and the well-known Operatic Society ballets from the Connie Potts School of Dancing; 4 Cabaret Continental ’ takes up the whole of the first half of the programme, and it is said to abound with high-class specialty acts, precision dancing, and smart choruses. Following this presentation, opportunity will be given the public to inspect the carnival, and at 9.30 p.m. a further 45 minutes’ programme will be presented in the form of specialty turns, opening with Bert Nelson, the onewheel cycling clown; Chang-Lu, Chinese magician (under engagement to the carnival) ; an original and spectacular ballet, and two 44 thumb-nail ” sketches entitled 4 Justice ’ and 4 It’s Moments Like These . . . ’• Lavishly decorated stalls will be found stocked with personal, household, and miscellaneous gifts.
