Night Life

There are in London, according to a statement made by Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, 1,510 clubs licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquors and for dancing. Evidently there are a number of night clubs not so licensed which manage so successfully to evade the law that the Home

Secretary was forced to ponder over a new bill to stop the illegal selling of drinks after midnight.

There arose the seemingly simple question of what is a night club. Lord Dewar, whiskey man, defined a night club as a place where, when the police appeared at the door, members and guests disappeared out of the window.
