001C97A7 July 12, 1929. DUNC.&W AND DVNCANA INCREASE TEACHING STAFF SCHOOI. SiVliDIING GALA A SUCCESS I'auline Johnson Girls ~Iake a Great Showing. On Saturday afternoon there took place at Dundarave Pier the first swimming gala ever held for the Lower i~lainland schools, and which was promoted by the West Vancouver Amateur Swim- ming Club. There was a large crowd present, who followed all the events with great interest. Fven the very severe rainstorm at the beginning of the gala cculd not dampen the enthusi- asm of the crowd, who all came back from various places of shelter when the rain was over to see the rest of the program. Reeve Vinson, in opening the proceedings, paid tribute to the West Vancouver Swimming C!ub, through whose efTorts the gala had been made possible. It v;ould only be the first of many such events, »'hich would be- come more popular and draw a greater number of entrants with the years. The Pauline Johnson swim- »iers worthily upheld the repu- tation of )Vest Vancouver as a i wimming centre with an im- pressive list of victories. They took first in the girls'enior 50- yard dash, first in the senior girls'ive, first and second in the junior girls'ive, second in the junior girls'0-yard dash, third in the junior boys'ive, and seco»d in the girls'elay. EEollyburn won a third in the senior girls'0-yard dash and was third in the girls'elay, Dundarave securing third in the 50-yard dash for girls under 11. This is an extremely creditable sliowing, when it is remembered that they were up against the best in the Lower Mainland. During the programme a very i»teresting display of life-saving was put on by the Life-Saving Association, methods being shown of rescuing the drown- ing,assisting tired swimmers, and the use of a boat by a single person in lifesaving. At the conclusion of the gala, J. S. Gor- don, superintendent of schools, presented the prizes. Particulars of the various events are as follows: 25 yards, free style, boys un- der 9--1st, P.

Gus Dawson, the well known Australian ballet master, is now in charge of the tap, soft shoe, buck and wing, step and eccentric dancing. hlr. Dawson is responsible for many of the 6nest revues and vaudeville acta that have toured the Australian circuits, and he comes to Van- couver after finishing an exten- sive and successful tour with his own company. Alr. Leonard Hayman, distin- guished Canadian singer and teacher, is in charge of the voice culture for the school, it will be remembered that he sang the very inspiring song "Carry On" in connection with the British film by the same name and also the Empire Pageant staged at the Pantages a short while ago by Duncan and Duncana, he is spoken of by many as the man with the golden voice. i~lr.

Bennett, recog- nised as one of the leading Brit- ish stage managers, and who managed the gigantic production of "The Sign of the Cross"'nd many others, is now in charge of all make-up classes and is also Stage Alanager for the Duncan Theatrical and Pageantry Enter- prise Company, which is a sub- sidiary to the School. The Enterprise Company was formed with a view to supplying professional entertainment to meet all demands, and also to uti- lize and place all graduate stud- ents of the school in steady pos- itions. The results obtained have been remarkable, ', hundreds of graduates are now working pro- fessionally with the largest cir- cuits in the world, Fanchon E: Marco, Orpheum, Pantages, Eng- lish, Australian and Parisian cir- cuits, while others operate suc- cessfully their own schools of dancing. During the past few weeks Duncan and Duncana have re- ceived letters from Ottawa, Que- bec, Edmonton, Regina, Sher- brooke, Victoria, winnipeg and illontreal, all for quotations for professional entertainment, and also an invitation to attend the annual Circuit Convention in winnipeg next January. Duncan and Duncana report that rehearsals are going ahead satisfactory for the Vancouver Fxhibition Pageant to be staged the evenings of August 7, 8, and 9th, and that it promises to be a programme of exceptionally fine quality, full of snap, color a»d surprises.
