Tin Pan Alley War Songs and a Divorce Notice
A column laments Tin Pan Alley’s weak wartime song production against Japan citing 1917 World War I hits and lists mock titles. Nearby an Iowa Linn County District Court notice orders Eugene Hinkel to respond to Vivien Hinkel's petition for absolute divorce with child custody and support set at $15 monthly, due by January 1942.
