Mephistopheles parachutist lands on Harlem tenement roof
A black parachutist in a red outfit leaped from an airplane and landed atop a three story building at 301 West 146th Street attracting thousands on 140th Street. Police gave a summons for disorderly conduct before he addressed a crowd at Liberty Hall. He said he invented his parachute and urged Negro self reliance, while a Times commentary criticized social excess and urged a return to simpler family life.
