Kelley’s block dance hall arouses neighborhood concern
In Negroland on Scranton street a new small dance hall run by a man and wife has drawn white and Black dancers amid discarded fruit and debris. Observers describe degrading scenes including underage white girls dancing with Black patrons, while police say no arrests are possible due to proprietor protection. Nearby reports note a boiler-house lodging raid, an insane man at Hennessey court, an Armenian lecturer, a church event, and local social notices, all reflecting a precinct troubled by disorder and civic response.
