She caught the evil at its source. Her
poiicewomen patroled the parks and
beaches, and when they saw particu-
larly young girl with a man politely
questioned her. Frequently the girl
was taken from her escort and accom-
panied to her home by the policewoman,
advice on the way. Where the girl
was out of work an effort was made
by Commissioner O'Grady's Office TO
find it for her, thus proving that she
was being helped and not prosecuted.
The method used by Mrs O'Gradv in
stamping out the shimmy and other
raque dances in the dance halls pa
tronized chiefly by young men and
women was direct. She notified all
'dancc hall proprietors that, if they
cared to retain their licenses and stay
in business, they had better eliminate
the steps in question. While this
order has been disobeyed in instances
it has had wholesome effect in those
sections of the city under the watchfrl
eyes of Mrs. O'Grady's staff.
The motion picture agitation begun
by Mrs. O'Grady caused a near-sensa-
tion at the time. On April g. 1919 she
severely criticized a film in which
Theda Bara WAS starred 1t was "A
Fool There Was" and, in the exchange
Of comment between her and the pro-
ducers in this city, she charged that
she personally knew of twenty girls
who had been ruined because of their
attendance at motion picture theaters.
She declined to give their names. She.
spoke before the Committee of General
Welfare OF the Board of Aldermen, de-
manding the appointment of munici-
pal film censor.
The staff of the Deputy Commis-
sioner was called upon to do valiant
service during the days just before the
war ended and in ~thc period of de-
mobilization, when hundreds Of thou
sands Of soldier', sailors and marines
passed through this city. Wartime
roman,es were legion and a close
watch was kept on dance halls, hotels
and other places frequented by fighting
men and their women. companions
Virtually the last active campaign di-
rccted by Mrs. O'Grady was that last
summer against auto cruisers. whom
she termed "Broadway's latest and
worst ahiliction." One or two men
were in the habit of drifting along
Broadway near the curb in an auto

In regard to the visit of the theatri-

Referring to Mrs. O'Grady's charge
that he had prevented the arrest Of
a man attached to his personal staff,
Mrs. Enright said:
"The only thing that was ever SAID
about that man WAS said by Mrs.
O'Grady alone"
Mrs. O'Grady did not get a new car,
he added, because the Board of EST

money to buy the cars. She could

Women voters hailed Mrs. O'Grady's
appointment as Fifth Deputy Police
Commissioner as the beginning of a new
era in city government, because Mrs.
O'Grady was the first woman to hold
an executive Office in the Police De

When, on January 80, 1918. Commis-

He denied that he had ever inter-
