Berlin: a moveable feast

Berliners were known for their love of feast and spree. On summer holidays, the favorite plan was to go swimming at the lakes or take a walk in the woods of Grunewald. But when the night came, the woods and lakes became peaceful again and it was the restaurants and cabarets "with guaranteed good atmosphere" that assumed the main role.
The inhabitants of the capital demanded entertainment and amused themselves frantically, but at the same time conscientiously, taking advantage of every opportunity to have a good time, just as at work they used each hour in the most rational way.
And it was not difficult to be entertained: the ‘revues’ of Erik Charell had little to envy the Folies Bergères and the "risky" shows went beyond the most daring of Parisian scenes.
