Record bookings were experi anced by the Hongkong Hotel on Saturday night, when a large. crowd filled the Grill Room for the debut of the six Hollywood debutantes. The occasion also marked the return of Andrew and Ursula Preston, whose exhibition of modern ballroom thrilled local dance-goers. In October last year.

Not in years has Hongkong witnessed a snappier chorus thas the six Hollywood Blondes. With their very first number they clear- ly demonstrated that they are dancers of extraordinary morit, and they were vociferously re-. called time and again.

Under the leadership of Holly BeLeod, the six girls are the maln

attraction in Hongkong for the festive season, which can be sald to have commenced with their debut at the Hongkong Hotel on Saturday.
