London Is a-Jazz.

Jazz halls are springing up like mushrooms all over London. For popularity they rival the movies. Women who have an hour to spare while on a shopping trip or between tea and dinner engagements, now pass the time pleasantly jazzing. A syndicate of American business men is snapping up every available 'building. It is puzzling to know how decorators, electricians and bands are requisitioned so quickly. Buildings which a few days ago stood drearily empty and sadly out of repair, today are rose painted, pink shaded halls filled with laughing dancers. The jazz germ is as rampant as was the “flu” bug some months ago.
