A nighttime drive through Berlin's entertainment district passes from Auguste-Viktoria-Platz, today's Breitscheidplatz, along Friedrichstraße to the Kurfürstendamm. Period streetcars and automobiles roll through the illuminated streets while neon signs advertise the Wintergarten variety theatre and the Capitol cinema, which announces the film 'Der träumende Mund' starring Elisabeth Bergner and Rudolf Forster, directed by Paul Czinner. The dense clustering of cinemas, theatres and variety halls illustrates how concentrated Berlin's nightlife was along a few central axes in the early 1930s.
