A nine-piece orchestra, newly | imported from Birmingham, Ala-| bama, will 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 praciised 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 5,000 square | feet of floor space afforded by this, large ‘structure has been celbpaeedl for dancing, and will without doubt please all who “trip the light | fantastic” there this evening with | its perfect condition. When the} Casino is finally renovated prac-}| tically 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-| siving may compose their own little} parties with a semi-private protec- | tion, and already many reserva-} tions have been made. Seats for/ onlookers extend around the room, | and out upon the terrace, others | may be accommodated so that no} one will lack for proper accom-| modation.
