(Continued from Page 10.) ‘“ You’re a Great, Big, Bouncing, Wonderful Bundle of Girl,’’ which Tom Clare sings with a nasal accent and a sidling grin on his face. It roused the audience to laughing encores. But you have to hear him to appreciate what is meant in that simple designation, ‘‘ an entertainer at the piano. ”’ Miss Murial Starr. ; Miss Muriel Starr is now in Cape Town, and her opening performance of “* Secrets ’’ captivated critics and public alike. After weeks of amateur performances there is' keen satisfaction in seeing such an accomplished actress in such successful plays. The other day a very pleasant reception was given at the Mount Nelson Hotel by Mrs. George de Pass for Miss Muriel Starr, and a large number of wellknown people were present. Many exquisite frocks were displayed, while quite a number of men were present for a function of this kind. One noticed Mrs. Max Michaelis, Mrs. Charles Lipp, Mrs. A. L. de Villiers, Mrs. Versfeld, Miss 8. Levenkind and Mrs. Julian Lambley. The singer, Mr. Wilfred Temple, was there with his wife. It was a delightful beginning for Miss Muriel Starr’s season in Cape Town. Three Arts Ball. On the same evening that the Three Arts Ball of Chelsea ‘was being held at the Albert Hall, Cape Town was indulging in the Bohemianism of its own Three Arts Ball. The affair was literally a crowded success. There were so many people there that it was almost impossible to dance. Of course, everybody was there in every kind of costume. Even the most wonderful fancy dress ‘was lost in a hotch-poteh of colour and gaiety. One noticed quite a number of theatrical people there after midnight. Miss Freda Godfrey and other members of the Leonard Rayne Company were thoroughly enjoying themselves, while an amused spectator — sitting close to a block of ice for coolness—was Miss Renie Riano, the burlesque dancer who was appearing at the Tivoli. She was accompanied by her *‘ Momma,”’ who has a fund of theatrical reminiscences that some enterprising publisher ought to persuade her to tell in print. The Naval Squadron. During these days Cape Town has been busy making arrangements for the visit of the Fleet, and it is safe to say that the four thousand men who will be in the town for Christmas will enjoy themselves to the full. Jack ashore will be riding round the Mountain in motor charabances, enjoying public dinners, theatres, dances, and all the gaiety that Cape Town is so lavishly providing. Then there are sports meetings, race meetings, cricket matches, besides that one sport that the lower decks love—boxing. Jack by the youngest captain in the British Navy. Captain I.
