The guests first assembled on the pool terrace of the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel for a cocktail party, then moved to the Crystal Terrace room, where Vincent Lopez provided his thoroughly danceable music and later sparked the entertainment, which jwas actually provided by the guests. Among those happily "trapped" in Lopez "marracca contest" were Mrs. Joan Edwards, Mrs. "Winkie" Hollenbach, Mrs. Sterling Young, Mrs. Phil Baker, Amory Haskell, Frank Fiore, Lou Cunningham and Jimmy Rafferty. After Haskell sang "You Were the Only Girl in the World," Lopez congratulated Monmouths president on his remarkable voice, adding: "I have never in all my years as a musician heard one song sung by one man in so many keys." Mrs. Edwards, who formerly sang professionally as "Jean Cavill," was persuaded to render a "blues," which she did with style and distinction. Cunningham did a number that he has repeated at so many parties that he no longer has any amateur standing. The general fun became so infectious that some of the waitresses were observed doing a private ballet of their own in an adjoining alcove.
