John Sumner, Secretary jof the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, warned that the historic raid was coming in a letter addressed to the Minsky patriarch, Louis. Said Sumner - 'On Monday the 13th I witnessed the show advertised as 'Burlesque As You Like It.' I did not like it. I found it to be lewd, obscene, and contributory to immoral conduct. Also, it was in gross violation of Section 1140-A of the Penal Law.'. Accordingly, as Mlle. Fifi heeded the hoarse cry from the back row - 'Gowon, Fifi. Take it off! Take it off! - Sumner sprung. Waiting detectives raced down the runway, eyes glinting at Fif's peaches-and-cream anatomy - while onstage a tenor sang 'Mother Machree' at the top of his lungs, the management's antidote to what, it was quite certain, was turning into a riot. A memorable & outrageously funny night!! * Good condition - Paperback edition, creasing to cover & spine. Previous onwers name on second page with comment. Award Books, 1968 *
