more amusing has been offered on the
vaudeville stage than the satire on the
famous character that is offered by
Bruno and Russell.

he would issue a permit. Judge
Lightfoot has received many calls
since from children and their par
ents and out OF as many as 400 per
mits formerly issued, he has revoked
all but about fifty.
