Foreword: "The Dental Students' Society takes pride and pleasure in presenting the twenty-eighth performance of the Dental Follies. The Dental Follies had rather an interesting inception - in 1914 the members of the D.S.S., then numbering about a dozen members, visited the Tivoli Follies, where one member, somewhat inebriated, fell from hte box on to the stage and proceeded to give an original item, with such success that the students decided to produce a show of their own. The next year, the first Dental Follies were presented in the Melba Hall and lasted about a quarter of an hour. We sincerely hope that the 1947 Dental Follies meet with your approval."
