...three flayers who fell upon Karl Busch in your issue of Dec. 28 surely went the limit. Especially reprehensible was the one who inquired for Mr. Busch's address so as to be able to set the American Legion on him! As if the American Legion consisted of a mob of rowdies ready and waiting for a "lynching...
...during the Russian Revolution; its first performance was given on May 16, 1920, after a prolonged and extensive period of experimentation.

Among unpopular issues, one of the least favored is the campaign of certain churchmen to close all theatres, playgrounds, amusement parks on Sundays, and limit the amusement of the public to churchgoing, which these churchmen consider amusement enough. Last week the "Lord's Day alliance," as these churchmen call their association, held its annual meeting in Manhattan, appointed a committee to report judges and county officials who belittle Sunday laws, commended Postmaster General Harry...
