» SHANGHAI CABARET LIFE CONTINUING Departure of Foreign Service lfll Not Pelt Shanghai, Feb. 10 (UP)—The hec- tic night life of Shanghal has not with departure of a large body of service men. There are more cabarets in existence now than ever before in the history of the city and the license bureau of the S8hang- hal municipal council is daily con- sidering applications for more H- censes to operate cabarets. Cabarets are divided into three classes and the midnight sons and | daughters are according to their choices. First is the high-class cab- aret, of which Shanghai has a @olen. ‘These places are patronized by the elite of the settlement and by very wealthy Chinese, that is, some of them are patronized by Chinese; others do not cater to Chinese. In addition to these regular pa- trons the first class cabarets do a thriving buainess with army, navy and marine officers and the better class of tourists. In all of the high-class cabarets lttle cash money is in evidence.

Next come the second-class caba- pets, of which there are dozens, scattered throughout the settlement, the French concessions and even in Chinese territory. “Chits” may be signed in these places but unless the signer is known he is subjected to & close scrutiny and possibly ques- tioned. The second-class that institution peculiar to most Bhanghai cabarets — the Russian dancing girl who will dance with any male, providing he tenders her a dance ticket. Dance tickets cost 50 cents, Shanghai currency, in most places, although a few isolated sec- ond-rate cabarets sell three for one dollar. On a quiet night in these cabarets one often sees three or four dancing sirla to every male patron. The girls, most of whom are good-look- ing and even beautiful, sit at tables In groups of three and four awaiting the advances of some male lover of the light fantastic who has 50 cents to spend. Euphonious names, these dimly- tighted dancing dens bear. Take the “Bucket O'Blood.” Sit- uated in Chinese territory but only & few feet from the border of the settlement, this cabaret in the past has more than lived up to its name in the amount of blood spilled there.

The center of attraction at 6 a. m., cabarets boast and later §s a place known as “Jim- | my's Kitchen.” This place boasts no tablecloths, no napkins and no orna- ments, but real American food is worved and is gratefully eaten by * heachcombers and men and women in evening dress.

Songs of Spanish Soprano Avert Panic in Mexico Mexico City, Feb. 10 (®—The songs of a Spanish soprano averted a panic in the Iris theater here last pight, when the severest earthquaks in several years rocked the city. 8o intense was the tremor, which occurred at 10:40 p. m,, that seismo- graphs were thrown out of order and no official record of the move- ment was available today. The earthquake lasted for several min- utes, Angeles Ottein, Spanish soprano, was giving a concert when ths building commenced to rock. Terror stricken auditors started exits. The orchestra stopped play- ing, but the soprano sang on thus averting a stampede. At various motion picture theaters spectators rushed through the dark- neas for the exits and fought fran- tically to gain the street. No cas- ualties were reported, however.
