When time swept the five-story loft building from 372 East Houston Street… Not sure exactly where this building was, perhaps it would have been in the above photos, if it still existed…

“STUBBORN: Anthony Esposito, one of the gunmen who killed a policeman and a civilian in Fifth Avenue on Jan. 14, is on a hunger strike… Here is a recent photograph.” – Well, semi-recent.
We’ll be seeing more of Anthony Esposito in the near future…

The Art Students Hold Their Annual Party… But Is It Art?
Miss Babita, that’s the whole name, is a well known psychic, her friends said. The sign may indicate some of her friends aren’t.
This is a mermaid costume that won first prize, a bagful of money which she didn’t count. The winner in the costume is Renee Parsons.
She graced the annual ball of the Art Students’ League at the Commodore Friday night and she is Natalia Munez.

March 2 was a productive day for Weegee. He had three stories, seven photos, published on March 2, 1941. This includes an entire page: “A N.Y. Police Reporter’s Impressions of Washington,” this might be the longest text written by Weegee to appear in PM Daily, or any other periodical, and three photos (a segregated movie theater, the capitol, and a portrait of the artist). Fire photos were published on both March 2, 1943 and March 2, 1944. And a piece about film was published on March 2, 1947…

“Hurrell chose a stack of boogie-woogie records and turned the photograph to top volume. Then, singing, he rushed around. He’d poke a light; rush back to look at the camera; dance around to cover a bit of leg and reveal a bit of bosom; charge back to the camera; all the time uttering wild cries; “That’s it,” “A cup of coffee, daddy,” “Too much,” “Aaaaaaah, that’s what the doctor ordered.” His assistant thew a film in the camera – Hurrell drew back for a cool, last look – yelled “Here’s one for the museums,” and pressed the shutter bulb. The o”one for the museums” is right below. – Ralph Steiner”
