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”
