NIGHT LIFE IN BERLIN
OUT-DAZZLES ALL PARIS.
Thousands Frequent Places of
Amusement on Which For
tunes Were Expended

BERLIN, Dec. 17-Berlin Is gradually
being inundated with pleasure palaces.
Each new one Is gaudier and more i'm
posing than the one before. Whole
streets are being given over to them,
and the night is lurid with their multi
tudinous and glaring lights. Paris is
becoming a city of darkness by compar-
ison. The appetite of the Beriiners for
these might life" resorts is apparently
Unsuitable. There seems to be no lack
of capital for new enterprises, and each
lavishes hundreds of thousands of
marks in the attempt to outdo its pred
ecessor in novelty and extravaganza.
A couple Of weeks ago the "Clou"-
no Berlin pleasure palace nowadays is
complete without an Enthusiastically
Frenchy name-was opened. 1t is a
truly gigantic concert house, with elab
crate cafe and restaurant features. AS
far as the eye can reach there is an
ocean of tables, with a rostrum for an
orchestra or band so far away that
guests at one end must strain their
ears to catch the melody. People said
the "Clou" was too big to prosper but
on any afternoon between and eight
or ten thousand persons are there, most
of them equipped to remain until mid
night.
This week a new "ice palace" flung
the second of it's kind Berlin now pos
sesses, but twice as large and twice as
elaborate as its predecessor. There is
a skating space of 2400 square meters,
flanked by three enormous galleries in
amphitheater style, with seating ca
pacity for 5000 persons. Electric sun
shine of binding effulgenee is provided
by 124 huge arc-llghts and $4,000 incan-
descents, with combined candle-pow-
er of 100000 The ceiling, which is over
100 feet above the ice surface, covers
the respectable area of two acres. In
week or two there is to be opened an
other immense and ornate pleasure pal
ace in the Behrenstrasse, the new con-
cert and dance establishment of the
Metropole theater. In keeping with the
spirit of the times, the concert house
will be called LA Mascotte," and the
terpsichorean annex "Palais du Danse."
The amazing thing about all the new
places is that they seem to coin money
from the night their portals are thrown
open.
