...remedy for the situation seems to be fairly obvious. A dummy clock such as is used at hockey games could be easily and inexpensively installed at the top of the main score board over the steel stands. The signaller on the field could relay the official time at regular intervals, and it could then be registered for the enlightenment of some 60,000 anxious onlookers...

In a period of nine-act dramas, of comedies taking place in a character's mind, of slangy racketeer melodrama the obvious mechanisms of Harry B. Smith's farce strike one as outdated, rusty, but serviceable...
