A Full House was the order at the concert held at the West End Club on Wednesday evening for the benefit of Mr John Fensome and Mr Jesse Burt, who have been ill for a considerable time. The artistes, all of whom gave their services, were Miss Millicent Childs, Miss Fields, Messrs Sam Wheatley, “Tiddler” Smith, Harold Letts, Rollie Cox, Clarence Griggs and Fred Bridgment, who were assisted by Mr Corrie Wood’s band. All artistes acquitted themselves admirably, every item being enthusiastically received. Mr Frank Causebrook was in the chair, and Mr W Fensome in the vice-chair. During a brief interval the Chairman thanked the artistes and band for their kindly help and services for such a deserving cause, and also thanked the company present for turning up in such large numbers. A corresponding-number competition took place during the evening for a large fish, kindly given by Mr Rollie Cox. The band gave several selections during the evening, and Mr H Kingham accompanied the songs. A final selection by the band brought a very pleasant evening to a close.
