LONDON CLUB RAID
RUSE BY DETECTIVES LEADING SOCIETY RESORT • LONDON, 16th Nov. -The West End’s most exclusive night club, the Chez Victor, which is often patronised by Royalty, was raided early on Sunday morning. Twenty detectives in evening clothes arrived in motors and sat at tables, courteously allowing the dance to finish, and meanwhile took a note of the champagne glasses. They took the names of everyone present. The management states that champagne was served before the closing hour. Those present included peers, members of Parliament and leading actresses. The Victor-is a tiny club with a maximum attendance of 50 and the membership is mainly drawn from Court and diplomatic circles. , The detectives, it later appeared, faked a. motor collision, and when the doorkeeper hastened to ask if lie could help the detectives slipped through the unguarded door.
