LONDON'S NIGHT LIFE.
r t ,;•■ -» SORDID REVELATIONS. ' LONDON. April 54. l The doings of London's night life devotees were revealed at recent inquests ' and at " sly grog" prosecutions- undertaken by the County Council in ;an . attempt to minimise the evns of night clubs, as far as its powers permit. ~.v Though it is feared that the proprietors know all the loopholes in . the. existinglaws proceedings have been taken against certain clubs on the ground that they are net licensed for " public music and danc- -- ing." The regulation is usually evaded by registering the haunts as " subscripd tion clubs," the patrons merely buying „ tickets at a neighbouring office. " ! '"-' An inquest at Kempton on ; March '7 P disclosed what the coroner termed a ° sordid story of the pursuit of gaydistracv tions. A girl named Freda' flitted''from club to club in the early: hours, often accompanied bv a Chinaman, and drinking and taking drugs until, the reaction cul- , minated in a deliberate fatal overdose of *: cocaine.
