Tea 'n Elvis Break for
London Teens

   LONDON (CP)---A Growing number of light-footed London teen-agers are ordering lunches of Bill Haley with a side order of Elvis.
   Thousands of West End office workers spend their noon hour coming a step closer to rocking around the clock.
   In the oldest part of London two affiliated jazz clubs boast a membership of more than 3,000.
   Dance halls, clubs and a few record stores with capacious quarters all cater to the current craze of lunch-time dancing.
   Largest of these midday dance spots is the Lyceum, owned by a company which runs a chain of dance halls across Britain.
   Daily, except Monday, 1,500 youngsters cram the converted theatre.
   For seven-cent admission they spend their lunch break jiving to the beat of Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and other rock 'n rollers.
   A dual record player keeps the music going continuously from 12:30 to 2:00.
   Assistant manager John Morgan-Hosey says many of the younger generation seem to live for it.
   "Once I saw a girl in tears because she had dropped her money for the next day's session and couldn't find it, So we let her in free."
   Most employers are keen on the idea of midday dancing, says Morgan-Hosey.

(continued from right column)
   Last week I predicted Johnny Mathis as the top male singer (newcomer) and Bonnie Guitar as top female singer (newcomer).
   As you see, Johnny was chosen most promising newcomer in the male vocalist bracket and Della Reese was chosen the top female newcomer for 1957.
   Although rock 'n roll had one of its biggest years, slow ballads took the big awards for the top songs of the year.
   Songs like "Tammy," "Love Letters in the Sand," and "It's Not for Me to Say" dominated the best record list of 1957 with songs like "All Shook Up," "Diana" and "Wake Up Little Susie" in there fighting for top spot.
   I think the biggest surprise of the year comes from the fact that "Tammy" was chosen the top song of the year. Since Debbie married Eddie Fisher, Eddie hasn't has a hit, but apparently the males don't mind if Debbie is married, because she came through with not only a big hit but the biggest, best selling record of the year, from a picture in which she was a star, "Tammy and the Bachelor."
