"HARRODS DANCE.
SIR WOODMAN BURBIDGE HONOURED.
The great circular floor of the Albert Hall looked like a vast himan kaleidoscope last night, when more than 3,000 gaily-clad dancers moved round in the rays of constantly changing coloured spotlights...
Seven thousand employees were there, those who could not find room to dance thronging the boxes and galleries...
A sum of £200 was presented to Lady Burbidge, who has expressed the intention of giving the money to St George's Hospital, to endow a 'Lady Woodman Burbidge' Cot for the children of Harrods staff."
