HAWAIIAN Dance
Is BARRED FROM
ATLANTIC CITY

Atlantic City has barred so-called
Hawaiian dances from its cafes and
cabarets. 1t Us not the dances, but, the
costumes which were objected to, &C.
cording to the Atlantic City, N. J.,
Gazette-Reyiew. which says:
Hawaiian dancers will no longer be
permitted to cavort about beach front
cabarets. There is a limit to the re,
sorts literally in cafe entertainment,
declared Director of Public Safety
Sooy yesterday, and the boundary line
has been crossed by the Introduction
of the Hawaiians. The following
warning issued by the director yes,
terday explains itself: To whom ii
may concern: Owing to the COM
plants made last summer by visitors
and citizens of Atlantic. City against
the Hawaiian dances permitted at va
rious cafes, the commissioners have
determined to notify the managers OF
csbarets that such dances will not be
permitted during the coming season.
This is to notify you not to make con-
tracts with such performers, and that
contracts already made should be re-
scinded at once r.
Discussing the order after it's issu.
ance Director Sooy said that when the
Hawaiian dancers first appeared at
local cafes, their grass skirts we're
modest and becoming As the compe.
tition became keen, however. the
skirts continued to shrink to a point
that provoked protest Atlantic City
is liberal declared Director Sooy,
and strains a point in this regard, but
there is a line which cannot be passed.
This warning applies not only to the
Hawaiian dancers, but to all classes
of entertainment which do not con-
form to modesty in dress and action Is
