1912: WHITE CITY DEBAUCHERY

IN THE FALL I WILL BE DOING A KUSER MANSION PROGRAM ON WHITE CITY, "THE CONEY ISLAND OF NEW JERSEY." EVEN THOUGH WHITE CITY WAS A GLAMOROUS AMUSEMENT PARK, THROUGHOUT ITS EXISTANCE IT WAS CONSTANTLY INVOLVED VIOLATIONS OF THE "BLUE LAWS," WHICH MANDATED CLOSING ON SUNDAYS. THERE WERE ALSO MANY INCIDENTS SUCH AS THE GRAPHIC ABOVE, WHERE LADIES WITH QUESTIONABLE MORALS HELD FORTH.
