Celebration

Caption: "Soldiers and sailors kissed every pretty girl they saw

and danced on steets littered with confetti to the sweet din of blowing whistles, tooting horns and the shooting of firecrackers and blank cartridges. Hotel guests tossed scarce sheets and pillow cases from their windows. Outside the Hotel Henry, Dorothy Nesbitt sang gay songs from a jeep. The scene here of jubilant abandon was on Fifth Avenue."
