Today -100: August 17, 1925: Of subs and Joisey Fashis


John Scopes, who resigned from Dayton’s High School after the Monkey Trial, will be replaced by someone who rejoices in the name Raleigh Valentine Reece, who does not believe in evolution. His brother is a member of Congress.

A meeting in Newark of Italians opposed to Fascism is invaded by the Fascisti League. A fight ensued involving stilettos and razors, with six stabbings, as was the custom. The Fascists claim to have gone to the meeting unarmed.

  1. Quite a glowing review of Charlie Chaplin's "The Gold Rush", "the outstanding gem of all of Chaplin's pictures, as it has more thought and and originality as even such masterpieces of mirth as "The Kid" and "Shoulder Arms".
