CUBA'S WICKED CITY

Then the Prado and the Malacon and
the various parks become a fairyland
of lights. A band plays at the Mala-

front is called. All Havana emerges
from its cool and comfortable stone
houses ready for night Of pleasure.
The cafes are crowded, there Is
constant stream of automobiles and
carriages up and down the boulevards.
The sidewalks are filled with people
hurrying to the theaters. They are
nearly all dressed in the height of
fashion. Havana Is one of the richest
cities In the world. It's styles come
direct from Paris. The only cheap
things are tobacco and matches.
At eight o'clock performances begin
In dozen theaters. At the Payret
grand opera is sung by a company of
artists headed by Constantine Of the
Metropolitan forces. At the Albisu a
Spanish opera company from the City
OF Mexico is singing THE Chocolate
Soldier and The Count OF Luxem-
bourg" At the Marti farce comedy
reigns.
In the moving picture and variety
theaters one finds real wickedness The
grizzly bear" the bunny hug" are
modest compared with the dances
shown on the stages Of the variety
theaters. where the public Is admitted
for % and so cents. The little plays
are beyond description and the act
resses wear very scanty attire.
At midnight Central park. which 10
In the heart OF the city, is crowded
and filled with life as Broadway and
Forty-second street before the theaters
swallow up the crowds. The cafes are
filled with people. but instead of eat
ing Holsters and draining cold bot
ties they eat ice cream and sip soft
drinks. There is very little drinking
Of alcoholic liquors in Havana.
