MIDNIGHT FOLLIES AT THE HOTEL
METROPOLE, A
The London County Council has set its face against cabarets.
It rejected its own committee's recom- mendation to allow the Hotel Metropole, to improve its supper show, the Midnight Follies. A similar recommendation with regard to the licence of Queen's Hall was also rejected.

The hotel management, who have spent | £3,000 on dresses and scenery in the con fident hope that the Theatres and Music Halla Committee's recommendation would be carried out, are now ordered to return to last year's condition--six performers and evening dress.
COSTUMIA.
-The committee had recommanded allowing twelve performers, with no mention of Dostunes. Sir John Gilbert moved as an Amendment the prohibition ' of stage costumes and the use of six performers only.

The Rer. J. Scott Lidgett seconded the amendment. It was adopted by a majority of three votes.
There has been a rally of the Killjoys,” said Sir Francis Towle, managing director of the Gordon Hotels; to Daily Express representative. This is the thin edge of the Prohibition wedge: It will drive the public to might clube. I have nothing against night clubs, but the London County

Sir Francis Towle's company control fifteen hotels in Great Britain and on the Continent.

Before the Great War (says Mr. J. E. C. Bodley in a contribution to "Peoples of All Nations) the spirit of France was being sensibly affected by the peaceful progress of mechanical "inveni tion. Those who doubted it are now convinced by the results of its precipitate advance since the war. In Paria the naurpation of the handsome thoroughfares by motor traffic is changing the mentality of the capital, with its far-reaching influence throughout France. Though a 288 H. Dix Street, Chicago III, USA. most industrious city, Paris was the pleasant home.of flanerie-not merely the Pastime of idlers or sightseers, but the resource and the solace of the busy man of letters, the philosopher; and the artist. How many problems have been discussed in the course of a stroll on the Boulevards, or the Champs Elysees, or of a ramble from the Latin Quarter to Montmartre How often have such valks been des cribed in memoirs and romances Nevermore will they be so recorded. “The Boulevards ars so dead as, 4gocial resort that it is threatened to Hury them in a subway for foot passengers. The once sumptums panorama of the Champs Elysees resembles an overcrowded railway truck. So the rash pedestrian who dares to discuss philosophy as he paces the Parisian asphalt, or to mum on the fancies of his imagination—often inspired. by the scene of old Paris-finds that sauntering", has become a capital offeder in its former sanctuary.
The French were always the most animated people in Europe, with vivacity which attained to fury in times of trouble. But from the spirit of France in normal times, proceeded animation without haste, and vivacity, without hustle, a quality reflected in French literature. Now, while promenaders on then surface of Paris are the prey of onstant peril, half the population Lakes part in the violent rush of the under ground railway, where the tearing crowds have lost all Parisian...characteristice, and the influence is contagious. After tho war an historic theatre revived Regnard's exquisite comedy,...Attender mai nous,1'Orme" (alm), a masterpiece of leisurely grace, and the actors, influenced by the spirit of the age, made t the roovement of the play so rapid that someone suggested that it should be called "Attendez moi sous le Metro,"
