CLUB'S "STARS OF THE FESTIVAL REVUE" DELIGHTS AUDIENCES

HALL FILLS WITH 'AH'S' FOR PRIZE RHYTHM BAND
by Hugh Thompson

     The 11 Kiwanis clubs of greater Toronto held their "stars of the festival" revue in Massey Hall last night. It constituted the first chapter in their festival-showcase programs. The second revue of stars takes place Thursday night.

     In the purely "cute category," the rhythm band from Lambton Park public school stole the show. A deafening applause broke out as soon as they twinkle-toed out in single file on the great big stage.

     They were nattily attired in gold uniforms trimmed with blue and topped off with pillbox hats. The two teachers sorted their charming charges into ordered ranks like a widow-dresser of setting up a display of dolls.

     All was in readiness, then on stepped the little girl leader, marched directly to the podium, gave a imperious rap on the music-stand, and off went the sweet percussionists, literally hammer and tong, to Strauss' "Tales from the Vienna Woods." The audience laughed, but you could tell it was impressed, too, with the excellent discipline that had been instilled into them in the kindergarten room.
