Unorthodox Dude Surprises Passengers on Third Avenue Car
A New York Times account recalls three aggressive youths on a Third Avenue elevated car who taunted fellow riders until a quiet man in a dapper “dude” costume intervened. The “dude” defeats the bullies, reveals himself to be New York figure Arthur D Williams, ex-State Senator, in disguise to spark a scene, then exits. The piece blends social satire with a cameo by Williams and a wandering honeymoon couple, plus a Texas theater anecdote.
