“As one who loves youth, I view with grave apprehension thq increase of so-called dance palaces. There is gaiqty—yes, and there are coloured lights and floating balloons— not bad things, you would say. I, too, like youtn to be gay—but there are different kinds of gaiety. Every day I see tattered fags of illicit romance . . The modern drama is supposed to hold! up the mirror to life. It docs not. The curtain is always rung down too soon—before the aftermath, before the audience can see the consequences of what has happened, on the stage.”—Mr J. A. R. Cairns, the famous Thames Magistrate.
