colored people reside, there is chain
Of cabarets, where you viii find-should

Of songs and dances. Far into the night.
and often until the sun Is well up
across the East River, the adventurous
visitors inspect with interest the wares
Of the dusky troubadours and hooters, z
who make the hours pass quickly--and
never quietly-to the beat Of primitive,
rhythmic steps and melodies as torrid
as their native Africa.
These cabarets, housed for the most
