Description

Otago Cavalcade 1921 - 1925 (Volume 5) by Hardwicke Knight. 'These were the gat twenties. Hitler was in prison dictating Mein Kampf to his secretary, Rudolf Hess; Mussolini was taking over the reins of government in Italy and suppressing all opposition parties; Stalin was succeeding Lenin and eliminating the opposition of Trotsky and others. Gangsters in America were shooting Gangsters and selling "protection", the reality that a decade later was enacted in the gangster films which showed criminals, as heroes, employing physical violence, operating in an organized fashion, an era of the American cinema that created Little Caesar, The Public Enemy and The Petrified Forest, classics which were individual works of art with performances by Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. But New Zealanders were not much aware of what was going on over the horizon. Newspaper reports of world affairs were brief. There was so little that really concerned New Zealand. But the catalogue of world happenings is not a gay one...'
