Now all those who have tried the "Walk," or at least witness- ed its amusing incidents, will be interested to hear that the real Lambeth Walk, the old! market in Westminster, has been having its share of fun and glory. The local traders were not too slow in realising the pos- sibilities of a monster shopping campaign in the Walk while the going was good and the song- and-dance still in its hey-day. So for ten days during October, they had the place beflagged, displayed their wares and bar- gains on every hand, and or ganised a gala ball for all and sundry. A good time was had by all, and it is reported that not only the little Lambeth gals! with their little Lambeth pals,! but also a respectable number of people from foreign parts, found themselves doing "The Lambeth Walk."
As a result it would seem that the old market of Lambeth Walk is back on the map as a For popular shopping centre.
this turn of prosperity the local worthies have to thank the man who chose the name of their district for a song which has circumscribed the globe and which is nowadays the favourite of peers and paupers alike. Their gratitude may not extend so far as to erect a statue to the person in question, a happy fate which has befallen the lot of him who wrote the "Swan- nee River." There is little enough certainty that the song will attain immortality, and it! may fade into oblivion as did! the sometime popular "Charles- ton." Be that as it may, they might well consider expressing a general vote of thanks in some other form; to which all those who have derived amuse-
from "The ment
Lambeth Walk" would no doubt be only: too glad to add an appreciative "Oil"
