Although the revenue shows a falling off, many enjoyable functions have been held in the Hall. The Lutana branch of the Free Kindergarten continues its success, and is well supported.

Lutana Hall. – The revenue has shown a decline, mainly from dancing, the serious unemployment of residents in Moonah and district being largely the cause. The committee has met its liabilities with a small credit balance. The branch of the Hobart Free Kindergarten has been very successful, and has been well served by the parents and members.

Dorrie King and Joan Baker have made their mark as amusement promoters, for the concert they put over at the Lutana-hall last month was a real winner. The house was full and the items went with a swing. Friend Bishop did a “stammer” stunt. Another gentleman with a burnt cork face described all the noses he had ever seen. Then there were a little clog dancing, a reel or two, and some well rendered songs. But the kiddies’ choruses were what pleased me most, and they called for the hardest work from the promoters. After the concert, supper and a dance filled in the time until 12 o’clock, and the Hall Funds benefited to the tune of £7 10s., or thereabouts.

This image shows the outside of the Hall as it was orginally built. A gate and fence is under constuction – which was later replaced with a higher fence to provide more security for the hall and garden. The wooden box at the front was built to protect a horse chestnut tree – these trees were planted around the Lutana Village - which unfortunately most didn's survive.

The kids Xmas tree at Lutana Hall was a real winner. What a sight to see 150 little Zincs’ all in the pink having the time of their lives! The gramophone “also ran” – but a bad last.
