Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:
The Japanese began to evacuate their concession at Hankou, citing “the steadily growing tension and a desire to percent an incident likely to aggravate the general situation.”
In Little Rock, Arkansas, the newly formed Society for the Booing of Commercial Advertisements in Motion Picture Theatres made its debut, booing loudly when corporate advertising appeared on the movie screen. Similar “booing clubs” soon began springing up elsewhere.
