NAVY LEAGUE DANCE

DEVONPORT ENTERTAINS The Devonport Navy League last evening entertained members of the crews of the warships in port with a “Jollity Dance,” in the Parish Hall, Devonport.

Philomel, the hall had been draped in warship’s bunting, while from above threaded multi - coloured streamers were suspended across the hall, producing a rainbow cave effect.
