A Couple of Janes Broadcast in Local Theater
A noisy conversation among three girls unsettles a young woman as chatter about a broadcast routine fills the scene. The piece plugs gifts and novelties for Mother and Father, with perfume sets, candies, toys, pens, cigars, and smokers’ delights for men, inviting visits or a phone call for orders.
Senator Dill’s Narrow Senate Victory in 1914 Campaign
In 1914 Dill won the Democratic nomination for senator amid a nationwide push to stay out of war and his pacifist stance. He was elected to Congress earlier, re elected on an antiwar platform, remained pacifist through World War I era, but faced defeat afterward and faded from prominence. Last spring he secured the Democratic nomination for senator because no one else wanted it, then won by just over 500 votes after campaigning across the state.
