Public morals and showbiz mix in a wild gossip page
An eclectic morsel from a 1920s tabloid column blends theater buzz with scandal and humor. It mentions a German actress en route to Hollywood, gossip about partners, gigolo culture, and a Mexico City pistol duel, all framed as overheard quips and “famous last words.”
Cross-Word Puzzle Riddles and Odd Clues From a Damaged Page
A garbled OCR puzzle item lists hints and odd spellings for a crossword, with entries like apical forms, ancient terms, and jumbled phrases. The fragmentary text mentions T-One, VWa-Baay, 10-Sep, 49-Te, KE-Merchent, and other scattered clues, all in a scrambled, era-typical newspaper tone.
