Miss Muriel Oldroyd is spending her holidays this year, at Goodnight Island. Sounds as though it is all night and no day. Well, we hope she enjoys herself.
Miss Alice Brown has chosen Katoomba for her holidays, and leaves on Saturday ( Judging by the preparations, were we to be in Katoomba at the same time, we might not recognise her.
Miss Davey and Miss Audrey Gill have returned after a week of sick leave.
Two young ladies in Head Office are greatly concerned about the floods in Brisbane. The burning question is, who are they concerned about?
Bill: “Hullo, dear, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?”
Flo: “I’d love to, dear.”
Bill: “Well, tell your mother I’ll be over early.”
(In order to prevent any libel suits, the names of the above do NOT belong to Bill Wylie and Flo Thurston of the Customs’ Dept.)
Willie: “Mick, is to-day tomorrow?”
Mick: “Certainly it isn’t.”
Tom Hanson has been pleading for Short Features with which to soothe the troubled Exhibitors. We passed him a list of seven available to-day and regret that we lost his record smile through the absence of a foot rule.
Not that we like complaining — no it’s not that, but when beautiful new girl comes to the office it upsets the equilibrium somewhat. B.S. casts goo-goo eyes, J.G. soliloquises on the beauty of the myrtle trees and even the stoical W — If finds a new interest in life — Well, after all, who cares about depression when such pretty girls exist?
Overheard snatches of conversation from Verna Browne — “tall and handsome — ^perfect thrill — Indian Army— touring — dinner Midland— ” Sounds all right, Verna. When will we know?
Willie: “But you said it was.”
M ic k: “When did I ever say today was to-morrow?”
Willie: “Yesterday.”
Mick: “Well, to-d ay was tomorrow yesterday, but to-day is today just as yesterday was to-day yesterday, but yesterday is to-day and to-morrow will be to-day tomorrow, which makes to-day yesterday and tomorrow all at once.”
CAPITOL CHATTER.
The Capitol Theatre runs a Social Club for members of the staff. On Sunday, January 25, members and their friends went to Frankston, a seaside resort, down the Bay. In spite of a deluge of rain, which continued practically throughout the day, the outing proved a great success: many die-hards actually going in for a swim. A programme of sporting events was held, in which Miss Linda Stewart, cashier in the theatre, carried off three prizes.
The orchestra, conducted by W. Weedon, supplied plenty of snappy music, and the weather was forgotten in the cosy Wattle Cafe.
Head Office recently received a visit from C. Miriams, AssistantManager. His mission to Sydney was to confer with Mr. Sixsmith on the various Paramount accounting systems.
