LIVELY EASTER
HOLIDAY BREAK ENJOYED IN LONDON FESTIVE CROWDS THRONG STREETS. BLACKOUT & WAR ANXIETIES DEFIED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 26. London resumed its serious wartime mood this morning after amazing scenes in the streets last night. It was generally anticipated that full advantage would be taken of the Easter holidays—the first break after a specially trying winter —but the light-hearted mood in which the cares of war were temporarily forgotten last night was unexpected. The “Daily Telegraph,” describing the scenes in the West End over the Easter holidays, where crowds defying the blackout and war anxieties thronged the streets until a late hour, says that they recalled those of the night after a university boat race or a football cup final. The theatres, cinemas, and restaurants were besieged and did their biggest business for many years.
