Summary
Pages 9-10 from 'The Performer', dated 22 November 1956. Page 10 refers to the renovation of the Anglo-American Café in an article by Jerry Waight, a friend of Letho Sigalas. Letho was the son of James Sigalas, a Greek migrant who settled in Australia in 1901 and opened the Anglo-American café in Bourke Street in 1906. James also opened the Centenary café, also in Bourke Street, in the mid 1930s. Letho worked in his father's café's and in 1920 was engaged to his cousin Lili Vrahamis. The couple were married in Melbourne in 1923 and had two daughters Danae in June 1924 and Magarita Babette in 1931. They moved in a very sociable set, composed of their own young Greek cousins, and had cars, sophistication and some affluence.
