BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB. ‘When I spoke to the Mayor about thie measure he has just sent to Al- bang relative to closing up the cabaret showa and regulating ™ all-night Neenses he said: "I have mo desire to close up the embarot shows. My Intention is per- fectly clear in the letter I addressed fo the Police Commissioner on the question. “The word ‘cabaret’ |s not even men- tioned in 4, and I have no objection to it whatsoever .ag long as it ts carried on respectatfy, But they continually inalet on distorting and misconstruing this particular measure which I want to Correct, in which they have over- stepped the bounds of thelr licenses. And also the purport of this thing has feds greatly exaggerated by newspaper a to get the reporters who do not a real issue. “Personally I have never witnessed a cabaret show, but I cannot see any arm in @ programme of dancers and singers performing on a platform while people are taking thelr meals, provided, of course, that the amusement or en- tertaimment does not overreach the bounds of decency. “I realise the need of amusement and entertainment @s much as anybody and 1 have no intention of stopping any such performance. And the fact of the mat- ter is that these cabarets are not really in operation after 1 o’clock—the reguiar losing hours established by law.

Every word of The Eventng World reader's letter is ept and fust, however. An- other communication deals very frank- ly with the causes which produce the immoral girl, and I think etates them correctly. Theae letters follow: Dear Madam: No woman need fee! “alone” !f #he hae woman compan- fons, and there are many unhappy, loifely’ married women. ‘The ma- jority of women don't give tham- elves lightly, but if no * wothan would give her love without mar- rluge, men wouldn't wwit until they were thirty, thirty-five or forty be- fore they married—there would be fewer women in business life—and the female competition which men now complain of wouldn't exist.
