They have travelled from New York to Hong Kong via Paris and London, where they danced at the London Palladium, and the Dor- chester Hotel when on tour with the famous Hal Kemp Band.

In an interview with a "Dally Press representative Edith and Billy stated that they adored ap- pearing on the buge Palladium stage, and found British' audiences most appreciative. They also found It thrilling to appear before all the rank and fashion of London at the Dorchester Hotel,
