MORAL WAVE
SWEEPING BROADWAY. NEW YORK, Aug/1. Ono hundred and eight night clubs, including “Texas” Guinan’s, have been indicted for sly-grog selling—ill© result of the latest moral wave which is sweeping Broadway. At the same time, for the good of the tourist trade, the authorities do not want prospective visitors to vision Broadway way as “Orange-juice Gulch.” It is announced that, while drinks are no longer served in the “denatured” resorts, hip flasks are still being worn in largo numbers, and there- ; s cracKed ice and ginger ale even, in this vale of tears. “She’s all excited, she's been indicted,” is the latest ditty whistled on late night, and Guinan is represented as terribly angry at being the victim of what she calks a farcical outrage. Dozens of places where the “night girls” usually shake their “scanties” are doing no business whatever. The Broadway theory is that the entire racket is just a little row amongst three girls— “ Tex” Guinan, Helen Morgan, and Mabel Willebrandt.
