As yet Toronto . Saturday af- ternooners don’t go te Tango tea rooms to Tango, says the Toron- to Star. They go to watch the other people. Everybody does. So they sit round the walls nib- bling sandwiches, looking over a dreary waste of shiny floor and starting nervously whenever 4 chair scrapes back. Meanwhile the orchestra tingles out “Nights of Gladness” and the two police- women yawn in a bored manner. Someone had “warned” them that a new Tango tea room was to open on Saturday and when ihey arrived at the address ther: was a real striped awning over the pavement.
