       @clive This would still work in any club today, at the least because people would want to say the word "pneumatic."

       @clive As depicted in the original B'way production of "Cabaret" (they focused on the phone part rather than the tube system). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRFcMG61oBs

       @clive I was at an outdoor festival in poland where thwy installed a couple of vintage telephones around the area. Picking one phone up and a random phone on the area ringed, you were connected with a stranger that walked by and picked up. I loved this! The pneumatic tubes are even nicer, loved them as a kid in the supermarket where they used them to send change money between the registers.
