The program was opened with several selections oy the Georgia Bulldog orchestra. Miss Valeriai Burroughs, doing a tap dance, wasl one of the highlights of the enter tainment.

No lesg than 250,000 extra bar rels of beer, by a congervative esti mate, will be consumed before the coronation is over, and the leading hotels have stocked up heavily with champagne, wines and liquers, The famous old toast of "“God Save The King” {8 going to be drunk from one end of London to the other, by dowagers, debutantes, workmen, soldiers and even visit tors from the South Sea Islands. London night life undoubtedly will get a real boost by the corone ation, and although the night spots took a long time to catch on, they now are nothing to be sniffed at. The city’s first “floor show” opened in war days; it falled. A hotel tried it in 1921, For a long time the West End was littered with failures in the attempts to turn night into day. It took American chorus girls to put over the “floor show” idea, and they still work here in large num bers. For the coronation, enough American singers, dancers and musicians have been imported to make a New Yorker feel at home, The expected 2,000,000 corona tion visitors will have at least two nights of extreme galety.
