December 4, 1933 was the eve of the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Here, Bunny Swanson, embodying the Spirit of Repeal, assists happy art student "mourners" in stowing away an effigy of Prohibition during a ceremony at the Art Students League. This was followed by a processional along Fifth Avenue, where the "remains" were escorted to a ballroom of a hotel, to lie in state during the League's Repeal Ball and Revel the following evening.

The greatest fortune, I believe, is if in your childhood there were people who were able to give you the “Universe”. If this does not happen, you can always become the “Universe” for someone. La fortuna più grande, credo, è se nella tua infanzia ci sono state persone che hanno saputo regalarti “l'Universo”. Se ciò non accade, puoi sempre diventare «l’Universo» per qualcuno.
