Dramatic Young Man Worries Chicago Journal Reader
A Chicago Journal contributor warns about the dramatic type of young man who frequents theaters to gather jokes and stories to shock others. The piece describes an arm-waving redheaded figure who repeats lines about “Sheath” and “bludd,” bores listeners with theater chatter, and suggests grin-and-bear-it tolerance. Also includes ads for Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and several Co operative companies, plus transit notes and harvest excursion offers.
