one troops down again to hold r house

Joel's system is different Until few
weeks ago ne favored the infinitesimal
recess theory. At 1 o'clock all the lights
in the place were extinguished, but diners
remained at their seats. A policeman was
then permitted to look in and convince
himself that operations had been suspend
ed for the evening. The policeman was
matter-of- fact man, who reported only
what he saw. II the place was dark he
felt confident that II was closed In spite
Of greetings OF "Ah. there, officer" in
voices from the void

This system has now been abandoned.

freely admitted after 1 o'clock. though

There are two rooms In Gallaghers,

cabaret room is below the level OF the
street but as the waiter-musicians are
perhaps more famous for volume OF tone

featured. Chiefly 1t is made up OF what
broadway knows as high art
In addition 10 Joers and Gallagher's
there are several smaller places OF the
back-room type which do an all-night
business in the Broadway neighborhood.
In some of these there is dancing Such
