...result is not at all in keeping with your usual attitude. I have seen many of the "New Pictures" written up in your issue of Dec. 26, and from the reactions of the audiences on those occasions, who, after all, are the ones to be pleased, it would seem that your reviewer is entirely out of line with public opinion. Don't you think it rather hard on the theatre managers, who book their plays far in advance, to give the pictures negative advertising, which no doubt influences many to stay away from an evening's enjoyment...

But criticize the Jews, ancient or modern, and editors will write about stupid race prejudice; and the literati will devise new synonyms for moron, Nordie, and bigot.

And so they make resolutions, and are the better for it; and break them...
...incredible that any people, not abject slaves under the rule of tyrants, will tolerate such infamies indefinitely. It this is what Prohibition means, then it is time to get rid of Prohibition." To the student of American history, this statement will have a familiar ring, but events seem to justify it. It was to the tune of a number of contemptuous cartoons that the lid dropped on Boston during the New Year's celebration, and the warning that chemists would be arrested if they gave analyses of alcoholic beverages, aroused even more adverse comet. As for the individual officers...
