In the People vs. Edward Lawless (1904), the identity of Lawless, who was charged with registering to vote under the name Donnelly is discussed again and again. However, the identities of the witnesses are also called into question (by the defense) because they are Republicans.

This, of course, would be Central Park. There are many good to great things to say about that area. However, there are other things that are less than positive, although it… Continue Reading...
discuss why they are juxtaposed back-to-back at the outset of Scott's film.
After a sweeping view of New York City at night, blue skyscrapers lit up by electric light, while the music that modifies the scene consists of a slow, nightclub type of song sung by a crooner -- the film settles over a view of the New York City suburbs -- and cuts to the interior of a small home, where guests are pouring in through the front door, some in civilian dress, others in their police uniform. The halls and rooms are densely packed, and many hugs, kisses and smiles are seen. The home is… Continue Reading...

pans banging together. Eventually, the whole of New York City music publishing (including publishers and songwriters who produced popular music that was heard around the country) was characterized under the TPA umbrella. Some of the music published was known as "Race Music" -- code for music by blacks. Vaudeville stage actors used Tin Pan Alley music for their skits. TPA also published ballads, comic songs, ragtime, jazz and blues. Racial codes were still followed by the publishers, so many songs composed by blacks were published as though written by whites.

There was complete overhaul in the already existing divisions in order… Continue Reading...
