From the inside cover: Cy Elkins – The Elbow Beach Surf Club in Paget in the British island of Bermuda is one of the most distinguished resorts in the world. Perched on a hill above its own long wide reef-protected pink sand beach, it offers its guests year round accommodation in some 200 luxury rooms, lanais and cottages, a large variety of sporting activities ranging from... swimming in its huge free-formed pool or in the warm azure waters of the Atlantic, to... tennis on the all-weather courts in the 20 acres of gracious landscaped gardens, to... golf at four near- by championship courses.
After cocktails in the elegant Habsburg Room and dinner in the restaurant, which is famed for its inter national cuisine and service, guests are offered in the cabaret each night of the week a different, distinctive and colorful show in many of which the artistes whose work is presented here, take part.

Bob Allan – Robert Keith Allen, affectionately known as "Bob," who presents the "Sounds of Elbow Beach," is probably one of the best known social directors in the tourist industry. After a career in the theatre which started at the age of fourteen and embraced all the media of the world of entertainment including radio, television and night clubs, he joined Elbow Beach some ten years or so ago as Director of Entertainment. This position in a resort that specializes in providing virtually continuous amusement for its guests requires a person with the knowledge, wide experience and energy that only a gifted all round performer can provide. Each week Bob Allen directs, produces, supervises, writes or takes part in a variety of activities ranging from a veritable cavalcade of sports through fashion shows, calypso carnivals, to sophisticated night club revues, added to which he has the almost uncanny ability to memorize the first name of each and every hotel guest.
All this is done with a skilfully light touch which has made the hotel an almost legendary "Happy Resort."
