MANY HAPPY AFFAIRS

The dance floor and souvenir shop at Cowell's Big Trees - Author's Personal Collection
"Milo C. Hopkins, of the Big Trees, has an orchestra and an open-air dance platform at his famous resort now that is bound to attract the dancers this season like honey vamps the flies. The big dance Saturday night was the forerunner of many happy affairs at the Trees. Beginning June first there will be dance music every afternoon and evening, two musicians playing. The orchestra on Saturdays and Sundays will be increased to four members - a piano, saxophone, drums and banjo."

"Vincent Silk, of San Francisco, is in charge of the musical arrangements and he showed this week-end that he has the orchestra and the music to attract the crowd. Mr. Hopkins said yesterday that he is determined to give the best music and the best open-air dancing in the county."
