New York Day By Day Highlights From Aug 11
A slice of New York life features prize fight cinema at a Dempsey bar on Broadway, editor Gerald Johnson’s antics at the Baltimore Evening Sun, and public showers in tenement streets. It notes Helen Hayes topping a poll of great actors, honors Dreiser’s An American Tragedy, and recalls Horace Liveright’s reaction to the book’s title amid a day in 1930s Manhattan streets.

The lone tree, windows dirty, and a towel debate
A fragment from 1938 recounts a frail lone tree in a cemented yard nursed at great expense by a late master. It mocks window cleanliness in an unused barn and satirizes a steel consumption claim. The piece shifts to a comical dog and master at an Automat and ends with hotel towel practices and a legendary nine foot roller towel.
