CINEMAS AS HOTELS.
HOLIDAY DILEMMA SOLVED. ENTERPRISE IN COPENHAGEN. The rush of tourists to Copenhagen,in August threatened to be too much for the town's resources in the way of hotel accommodation, and when two German steamers arrived and unloaded their 1700 passengers, the position became acute. It looked as if numbers of these unfortunates would be compelled to wander about the streets all night or find what comfort they could on the park benches. However, an enterprising tourist bureau rose to the occasion, rented two of the lesser cinemas in the centre of the town, and after the final film performance, admitted tourists for the night at a charge of about eighteen pence a head! Glad of the opportunity of passing the night in the comfort of cinema chairs, the tourists streamed in. and by midnight the tourist agency was able to display " house full" placards.
