We don't really know if our dance orchestra is better than anyone else's.
Our floor-show classier. The decor snazzier. We like to think so. But such
things, after all, are pretty subjective. One thing we do know: plans for
this event and, indeed, for all events arranged under auspices of the
Criterion Club, are complete to the very last detail. Even more, the tra•
ditionai warmth and conviviality of host aud . guests alike, we regard as
our hallmark of distinction and this, you will find, is the real Criterion.
So, join us„ won't you, on Sept. 23rd for a wonderful, wonderful nice.
You'll greet old friends and meet new ones at Criterion Club's memorable
"Harvest Ball."
