Others did see how it could. Thomas Nicholson, Detroit Bishop, president of the Anti-Saloon League of America, explained that the Kresge's private morals had nothing to do with the case. Said Bishop Nicholson...
...recent tendency of American plays to explore the lower levels of existence in search of drama includes Kenyon Nicholson's "The Barker", which at the Hollis Street Thoatre has ligtened the theatrical gloom of September Boston.
