"ON WITH THE DANCE"

NEW YORK NIGHT LIFE.

BY MARION RYAN, ]

New York is a city of night clubs. And New Yorkers do not go to just one club in a night. They visit several of them, for the "elub" element is conspicuously ahsen. Anyone may enter who can pay, pay, pay! There are some seventy night clubs" on Broadway, that high road of vivid lights of noise and excitement'; thes offer midnight suppers, enbaret per- formances, splendid foors for dancing, and the latest, wildest and most deafen- ing jazz hands....

Making a night of it" in New York parlance means tiring from club to club, and it can be done over and over again without exhausting all these after- midnight haunts for always opening. Beside the seventy or more Broadway clubs there are many in Greenwich Village, the artist quarter at the city, and still more way up in Harlem. The method af "making a night of it is to begin down in Greenwich Village, work ana's way, through fay- ourite Broadway elabs and arrive at Harlem shout breakfast time.

IN CELLAR COOL. Thirrenwich Village cabarets pure usculo-Montmartre affairs in cellars gr attics, dimly lighted, strangely equipped. Some are on the studio plan, others ar ranged like stables, others like wild! westernbacks, and they have colourful! names such as the Blue Moon," thr Pink Pig." the Rainbow Fish" Here one finds pallid. long-haired young men and energetically rouged, short-haired young women who all daner amazingly well to the wheezing of a gramophone or the mechanical efforts of pianist and violinist. Strange drinks appear in coffee cups for those brave enough to try theni, and, no doubt, then haunts are more attractive in winter than in summer, for they do tot offer the cooled air and electric fans of more expensive places.

The Broadway night clubs spend thou sands and thousands of dollars on dr-1 corations designed to astonish, startle or shock visitors, A kaleidoscope of colours, lightly clad ladies floating through space, Sometimes the nymphs-fauns, satyrs, decorations are specialised, an Italian. garden, negro plantation, a circus, tent. At the mument the smartest and "gnyest lub, which begins its performance at four in the morning, is run by an ex- eirens rider who must regret the years she spent in the circus when she counts her proceeds night aftey night,

THE BEST DANCING. Probably, the finest moden dancing if the world is seen at these Broadway night rubs. The special dancers often receive L400 and £500 a week, and the visitors to the clubs, which include college boys, art Society hostesses, debutantes sup posed to be elsewhere, theatrical folk, and wealthy business men; dance with grace and spirit. There is of course, no en trance fee, and the mere signing of a book constitutes all there is of the club element. Paytorat comes when you sit down at table, and where your are allowed to sit depends much on how well you are known on your appearance.

Evening dress and diamonds, with a car waiting outside, will assure you a choice table, even if you have never been to the club before. A bottle of sparkling water costs eight shillings. A bottle of champagne and a few chicken sand- wiches will cost six pounds, and other prices are in proportion. The host, with a party of four, seldom leaves a night club on Broadway without having con- tributed twenty pounds or more to the running expenses of the clube

fame The Harini Clubs have won

negro chiefly through the wonderful dancers and sausie in which they spe cialise. Rich negroes live in that neigh- bourhood in luxurious flats, and they tume to these clubs, as well as white folk, for, after all, the dancers are their own people. To sit in those brilliantly light- ed places watching the dancing, makes one think of the jungle and barbaric re- ligious fites, for the negroes dance almost with frenzy, though never without grace. BACON AND EGGS.

Hot weather does not diminish attend ance at the Broadway clubs. The air cues through ventilators. having been cooled from an ice plant below; huge electric fans wave it about, and mass of flowers perfume it You are astonish- ed by the luxury, and very often the beauty of it, and all the more astonished. you are the better your host likes it.
