Cabaret Matinees Anniversary: Novel Idea at Victoria Ballroom Revels:  It was just a year ago that Nottingham’s Victoria Ballroom started its novel cabaret-matinees. And on Saturday afternoon the anniversary was celebrated, when patrons enjoyed a special programme of birthday revels arranged by the management. Chief feature of the revels was a cabaret which had as its highlight the distribution of free copies the “Nottingham Evening News.” The papers were handed round to patrons in the hall by three youthful acrobats —members of the city’s Keith School of Dancing, who appeared dressed as typical newsboys. They had their bundles of papers under their arms, and round their waists were the familiar “Evening News” content bills announcing the sensations of the day. These three dancers were all girls, despite their boyish garb. . . . Audrey and Joyce Kirk, sisters, aged 15 and 14 respectively, and May Pinsent, also aged 15. After delivering their papers they amused the hall with a clever display of acrobatic feats. The whole cabaret, which was put on under the title “Many Happy Returns,” was provided by pupils of the Keith School and was under the personal supervision of Keith. The other artistes were Carmen Sylva (vocalist), Betty and the Two Stepsisters (tap dancers) and Evelyn Holmes and Tiny Miller (Dutch dancers). Many of the patrons afterwards expressed their pleasure at receiving copies of the “Evening News” in this original manner.
