Today -100: March 21, 1923: They may start next on pinochle

Philip Snowden, Labour MP, moves a bill in Parliament for the abolition of private property. I will leave you in suspense as to whether it passes.

The NY Senate votes to repeal movie censorship, but the Republican Assembly will certainly kill the bill.

There’s a bill before the NY Assembly to create a State Commission to eliminate indecent dances. One assemblycritter worries that “if they start regulating dances they may start next on pinochle.”

Prince Henry of Britain falls off a horse, as is the custom.
