Atmosphere is the all-impor-
tant factor to the success of any
place where people are enter
tanned. That is the reason why
the Lotus Restaurant, at Four

rapidly becoming a most popular
place to dine and dance.

Lotus again fills the bill by being
comfortably warm.
This week the Lotus presents a
clever dance team from New York
and Chicago. Their names are
Renee and Raymond. They do a
fast whirlwind and a lovely waltz.
This accomplished dance team
has danced in all the best known

most amazing acrobatic dance.
