New York world last night passed from
the light and joy of Broadway into the
He'll of War
II happened in the heart OF Long
Acre; in the theatre which is called
the Vitagraph.
The bills announced "The Battle Cry
of Peace
Outside the theatre men were selling
toys. Big bladders blown into the
shape of Zeppelins Child's bubbles
made to look like colored bombs.
The usual crowds strolled mp and
down the highway Signs blazed from
countless restaurants and tango pal
aces. The newsboys yelled war head
lines from the "Wuxtras." And all
was as it had been for months past.
We had grown used 10 hearing sto-
ries of the war. They had lost much.
if not most, of their earlier horror.
And Notwithstanding all that We had
heard and read, there were still many
in our midst who dreamt of peace.
