I have seen this photo attributed to Chicago and other places. I doubt this is in Paris.
Even the NYT only writes according to our 1933 photo caption.
Everything in this photo is in English. Even the writing on the mechanical piano is in English. I have to admit that I am not an expert on 1933 Paris, but again you would have a hard time to find anything like that in France even today.
The man in the background has a cap with “NEW TOWN”, the poster on the right ends with “our prices”, the leaflets say “Crying towel”. No way this is in Paris, the NYT needs to hire people who can use a scanner and their eyes to say the place is probably in the US and at first glance they don’t know where.
No prohibition if democracy (the people) can guillotine you.
To be fair, it looked like this the night before that, too.
To be fair, I don’t think they were ever aware of a prohibition.
But if they were in Paris they could have drunk like that already. Probation only existed in the US it didn’t exist for US citizens in other countries.
I assume they were celebrating for when they go home. Most people abroad (who care about news from back home) don’t stay abroad indefinitely.
If they were only there for a week for work or whatever, I could see this being something to celebrate even if it makes zero difference where they are at that moment.
The Internet is messing me up because my ‘AI radar’ is going off
