Two nationally famous orchestras drew a crowd of 200 couples and 100 stags to the Kirkland House Spring Dance last night. Cab Calloway and his original Cotton Club orchestra were featured, with Irving Aaronson's Studebaker Commanders, 15-piece broadcasting band formerly with Bing Crosby, alternating during the Cab's intermissions. Dancing ran from 10 to 3, with a buffet supper after midnight.
