Over three hundred people attended the reopening of the Kenilworth club house Tuesday evening. The club was formally opened on June 6, 1907, but it was found that it was too small for all conveniences, and so this summer improvements of various sorts have been made. The kitchen has been most wonderfully equipped with steam tables and a coffee urn. The program was well planned and balanced. Mr. Warren Pease gave the opening address, followed by a group of songs by Miss Gertrude Kastholn, a violin piano duet by the Misses Frances and Eleanor Serrell, piano solos by Beatrice and Florence Pease, a grourp of dances by Evelyn Isom, songs by Miss Isabel Cline, a duet by the Misses Cline and Kastholn, and a number of piano selections by Maurice Kattler, the thirteen-year-old boy wonder.
