Holy Saturday, April 19, 1924.


The Saturday Evening Post went to press observing Easter with a Leyendecker illustration.

National Barn Dance, a direct precursor to the Grand Old Opry, premiered on Chicago's WLS, running a whopping four hours every Saturday night.  It would run until 1968.

The Washington Post depicted Coolidge holding fast in a political cartoon.



In Casper, there was a big meeting to oust a city councilman who had been convicted on a liquor charge.


And Arizona tourists could get into California before Easter.

It's interesting to realize that motor tourism had become a thing by 1924.
