Great Capitol Theater forgery plot unmasked in New York
A elaborate forgery scheme at the Merehall Realty firm unfolds with elevator operator Roedel taking a $1,500 share of a $148,000 fake check haul. Nancy Kirby and a sign painter aided the plan, while Ford, lured by promises of wealth, deposited two $76,500 forged checks. Investigators traced the plot from Broadway to Newark and Fifth Avenue, leading to Roedel and Kirby’s arrest and Ford’s exoneration.

SAWS By Viola Brothers Shore
FOR THE GOOSE- HE woman that really knows Ife has got a smile in back of every tear and a tear back of every smile. It's no good cryin' to the teacher, the doctor or the judge. You can overindulge yourself weepin' just as much as laughin' and it's worse for your looks. FOR THE GANDER- Tellin' a woman anything about love is learnin' a porpoise how to swim. The guy that climbs up the ladder might look more important, but an awful lot depends on the feller holdin' It at the bottom. Goin' after them ain't the on'y way of gettin' women. But its the best that's been discovered to date. (Copyright )
