They were charged with disorderly con- duct In the police station. Last week the prisoners were charged with violating a hotel act. Falling to pay for "grub and sleep." This is an excellent weapun for the cabarets and supper clubs to "shake" those who protest the •couvert" charge. Most of the police lieutenants Win not entertain such charge. However, some will.

When the 'bill waa submitted the amount came to $24. Finn and his party pro- tested the "couvert" charge atat- Ing they had •not been told of it nor did they aee it. Without much ado the employes hurried to the •treet and returned with a blue- coat The establishment always as- jmmes the resT>onslbIllty of causing the arrest. Mr. Bluecoat is too amart. He Is afraid of a boomerang and the gatnlsheelng of his salary for false arrest. The party so- journed to the police station where the guests are Jailed imtil court arraignment. In court the next morning Arva- rlan atated his case and displayed a menii 6ard showing it plainly read 12 "cQuyert" charge. Finn said It iwaa t^e Orst time he saw it.

Ogden, U., April 6. . Mr. an^ Mrs. Joseph Giles wera recently awarded the championship in a contest here to determine the best dancers of the Varsovienne. The Giles are a gray-haired couple,, but they danced the old time favor- ite with grace, poise and aasuvance. Old-time dances are belns re- vived here with enthusiasm. A series of auch dances has been held and each has been a decided flnoA- cial success to the promoters, Uie crowds increasing on each occa- sion. CABARET REVIEWS (Continued from page 48) rating the interior with a Spanish motif to flt th Castillian billing.

However, for the II couvert the boys are giv* Ing fhe show qulfyn bit ol mttentl u n .- - Bob Nelson as master of ceremonies, Gladys Sloane, songstress, and Beth Pitt, danseuae, are the three stellar attractions, with the smart "Sleepy" Hall /atzlsts dishing out good dance r^usic.
