...main through fare, but which maintained a segregated district running full blast in a back alley . While the City Censor, in his wisdom, refuses to allow the slightest bit of lascivious titillation from the stages of the uptown theatres, the citizen with an incurably low-down taste may still pander to his lower instincts by slipping furtively down to the Old Howard Athenaeum (take subway to Scollay Square, walk down to Howard Street...
...case of Governor Murray, it may be said that the incident is another proof that he is miserably unfit for the position he holds. Governor Murray is a distinguished specimen of an all too frequent type of politician. Neither stupid nor unenlightened himself, he has not hesitated to pander on several pander on several occasions to the trivial and the vicious aspects of his electorate.

The plot adheres rather faithfully to the plot of the song. Most variations of the ballad agree that Frankie (a harlot) and Johnnie (a pander) were lovers- "And Oh, my God how they did love." Pledging eternal faithfulness, Frankie proceeds to support Johnnie, attiring him in "hundred-dollar" suits. Then it appears that Johnnie is philandering with a lady called Nellie Bly.* Frankie learns where an assignation is being kept by Johnnie and Nellie. Three times...
