They'd Rather Dance Than Eat, Parisians Decide.

PARIS, France — Paris has definitely decided she would rather dance than eat.

What's more, she has forced the prefect of police to recognize her preference, and as a consequence, an order closing thirty dance halls, recently issued, has been modified.

The dance halls now may remain open until 11 o'clock and, in recognition of the demands of the dancers, no favorites are being played; cafes, bars, restaurants, theaters and the "movie" houses must close at the same time. These latter establishments had been permitted to remain open until 1 a.m.
