A QUIETENED CITY
. The moon' rode high in a cloudless sky last night, and it was just as well that she "raised her lamp abotfe," because | the electric light, as far as the streets i were concerned, except on the main tram trscks, was out of commission. Four picture shows which generate '-their own light were giving the usual entertainment, but the others,' as well as His Majesty's Theatre and the English Pierrots at the Concert Chamber, were closed down. In the absence of trams, it natur- j ally happened that suburban dwellers, except those in the nearer regions, decid- ; ed to sta-y at home, and the usually popu- j lous main thoroughfares were as quiet as a backblocks "township on an " off " night.
