LAST NIGHT’S CABARET. GATHERING IN MUNICIPAL HALL. The cabaret held in the Municipal Hall last evening was well patronised and the occasion proved to be a most enjoyable one. Bright music was supplied by Jack Mackay’s Novelty Syncopators and additional attractions that proved to be popular with patrons were the presentation of ballets, under the direction of Miss Dorothy Tate, from the "Debutantes’ Revue.” and of tap ballet dances by the pupils of Miss Betty Holmwood.
