'SPEAKEASIES'

LONDON, May 3 dN.S3.-Gay
London has q "speakeasy" system
az elaborate and hilarious as any
that existed in America during
prohibition.
The traditionally law-abiding
British don't call them speakeasies,
Of course, but that's what they are,
and they are fashionable places to
go-in fact, the only places to go
after midnight.
London speakeasies are called
bottle parties" They stay open
till dawn, and are popular with
everyone from the theater set to
the nobility.
Quick on the Pickup
Visiting Americans, surprised at
first to find the peep-hole tech
nique employed on this side of the
ocean, are rapidly becoming re-
accustomed to saying Benny sent
me" just as they did back home
in the days before repeal. It all
seems like old times.
Bottle clubs grew out Of the
English ordinance whereby no
liquor may be sold after midnight
except on extension nights"
granted once a week to certain
clubs and hotels, where liquor
may be sold until 2 a. m.
This means, of course, that
night clubs might as well fold up
after IL, because few merry
makers show any inclination to
sit in night spot drinking lemon
ade.
Promptly at midnight-or 2
a. m. if it Is extension night
there is an exodus of customers
from every legal night club in
London. Everyone dashes to a
bottle party.
Responsibility Password"
Most of these are on narrow side
streets, and usually are down a
flight of steps. Technically, one
should have card, but anyone
who looks respectable Cor richO is
admitted. Once inside, one can
get anything from Scotch to cham
payne which (again technically
one is supposed to order in ad-
vance.

bother them, so they lack the
thrill of American prohibition
spots, where one never knew when
the place was going to be raided.
otherwise they are the same as
the almost-forgotten Yankee
"speaks"-the same peep-holes,
the same suspicious door boy, the
same. crowds, the same smoke
filled room.
And, of course, the same plead
ing voice outside the peep-hole
saying:
