CABARET SHOWS ARE BARRED

Philadelphia Police Act on Theory That “Beer and Music Do Not Mix.* Philadelphia. Pa. —“Cabaret" entertainments are placed under the ban by a police order issued recently by Director of Public Safety Porter. More than a quarter of a century ago a license court judge in this city laid down the dictum that "beer and music do not mix.” Of late years this injunction has been obeyed more in the breach than in the observance. The presence of music has not been objected to by the authorities until re. cently, when the prevalence of "cabarets" caused the director to order an investigation and the issuance of the order. , * The police served notice of the order on the big hotels and cases as well as the smaller saloons. Managers of the former, however, declare that they are not affected and their orahestras continued to play.
