The article presents information protest of the play "The Respectful Prostitute," to be performed in Chicago, although it had run forty weeks in New York. Captain Harry Fulmer of the Crime Prevention Division of the Police Department said the play contained "the basest immorality" and also constituted "a gross insult to the colored race." The performance was given on February 8 before an invited audience of at most eleven hundred students and distinguished citizens. The audience by a rising vote approved a resolution calling upon the Mayor to rescind the ban.
