LONDON, April 3O-Every day
sees the opening Of new dancing
room in London. "There is not a pub
lie hall to rent in the city or pri-
vate hall either" said an old ballet
master who is now a ballroom dance
manager. "House agents, particular
ly in Kensington, have entered the
spirit of the search, and are canvass
ing the owners and tenants of private
houses who may have big rooms to
let. A private house has an advant-
age over a public hall as it can keep
open until the next day if it likes,
while a public hall must close at mid
night.
Anyone teaches dancing now. Girls
who have just learned set up as teach
