Tuesday, December 4, 1923. House Session Breaks Up In Vote Deadlock. Vaccination Ruling To Be Put To Test.

Somewhere I've seen a t-shirt advertised that says "Study history, realize people have been this dumb for thousands of years."

Big events at the movies.   The Ten Commandments by Cecil B. DeMille. . . .the first one, was released.  It was silent, of course.  Some of it, however, was filmed in technicolor.

At least one of the movie posters for what would become the most popular film of 1924 depicted moderns in the throes of agony for, presumably, violating one of the Commandments.  This is because the two-hour-long movie is divided into two parts, one a prologue depicting Exodus, the second a modern melodrama.

Colorado Aggie students voted to emblaze a local hill with a large "A".  Colorado State University had its origins as an agricultural college, and while the Rams are known for many things today, at that time, they were focused on agriculture.
