Notes
Publications: Published in: "New York Evening Graphic, December 30, 1926.
Content: "Play jury put its O.K. on this,but such scenes at this have impelled Mayor Walker to induce Broadway's theatrical producers to modify the [...] plays based on sex emotions. This picture shows Mae West in "Sex," which plays to capacity, regardless of the storm of protest it has aroused. The huge success of the play has influenced Broadway producers to "jazz up" their plays in a large measure. See page 3."
