Cabaret Dance Is Arranged
AS Formal Opening Event At
Coral Isles Casino Tonight
NINE-PIECE ORCHESTRA
TO FURNISH MUSIC;
MANY TO ATTEND EN-
TERTAINMENT

What promises to be one of the
brilliant events of the summer sea
son and one that will be attended
by Key West society is the grand
opening and cabaret to be given
by the management of Coral Isles
Casino tonight at its newly reno
waited building on the ocean front,
when that amusement resort will
be opened for the first time to the
public.
A nine-piece orchestra, newly
imported from Birmingham, Ala
bama, viii furnish the latest
dance music, and all who attend
this function will have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the rendition of
these numbers, played as only
the Coral Isles Casino orchestra
can play them. These princes of
syncopation have practised for the
past week to perfect the program
Of numbers they will give tonight,
and from all accounts are the quin-
tessence of musical harmony.
About half of the 5000 square
feet Of floor space afforded by this
large structure has been prepared
for dancing, and will without
doubt please all who "trip he light
fantastic" there this evening with
its perfect condition. When the
Casino is finally renovated prae-
tieally all Of this space will be fin
ished for dancing. Along the side
Of the room alcoves have been ar
ranged so that carbare. ers so de-
string may compose their own little
parties with a semi-private protec-
ton, and already many reserva-
iions have been made. Seats for
oniookers extend around the room,
and out upon the terrace, others
may be accommodated so that no
one viii lack for proper accom-
mediation. Fruit punch and waters
will be served to the dancers
throughout the evening, and the
management expects to exer.
every effort to see that all present
are made comfortable.
THIS Casino, which has borne
the name Of In Brisa for years,
and has been patronized by the
people Of Key West as a recrea-
tional resort for more than two
decades, under the guise of fresh
pant, hardwood dance floor and at
trartive new furnishings will un-
doubtedly impress every visitor
with its desirability as an amuse-
ment place and thus continue to
be a gathering spot for local so
--esty for all time to come.
When the Casino is completed
il viii not only accommodate
dancers, diners, and bathers, but
viii have ample room also for
those who do not participate in
such strenuous exercises but who
prefer rather TO lounge about un-
der an awning and revel in the
wonderfully fine view of sen and
Kky that is extended in eolorful
panorama before those who sit on
the terrace Of the Casino, As soon
as possible equipment viii be in
stalled which will enable the man
ngement to serve light refresh
ments. or table d'hotc dinners
specializing on sea-foods and sum-
mer delicaeies. This one feature
alone should intrigue the many
housewives of Key West who posi-
lively rebel at the idea of prepar-
ing meals during the summer term,
when the line of least resistance is
20 obviously toward minimum
expenditure of energy. The Ca
sIno already has secured booking
ef hanquets. luncheons and other
functions, indicating that IT viii

sixities for practically every lead
Ing organization in the city.
