River wall project spurs dispute at Waterloo meeting
Dr G Hardy Clark condemns river front transfer to Citizens Gas & Electric in exchange for a wall. The proposal would grant the gas company a park-like riverfront area by vacating public ownership and enabling it to control new land created by the flood wall. Clark argues the move privatizes public property, sets a dangerous precedent, and undermines east side institutions and public rights.

Oh Look Who's Here at the Majestic
The abbreviated musical comedy Oh Look Who's Here plays at the Majestic. The hero masquerades as a woman with Julian Eltinge style, Hal Johnson as Tommy Carter earns credit for his performance, and Alice B. Hamilton's impersonations entertain between acts. The show meets the standard of musical tabloids and should satisfy fans of that genre.
