An excerpt from the newspaper article reads: 'Wet Evening' is Official Forecast. There's be many a headache in Los Angeles tomorrow morning. For tonight, when Father Time once more turns a page in the book of life, Los Angeles will be celebrating as it has not celebrated since those days passed beyond recall. Cafes, restaurants, dance palaces and the hotels announce the largest number of reservations in years. Managers have pledged themselves to do all in their power to keep these places dry. But bootleggers, from the Central avenue dealer in "moon" to the Hollywood dispenser of "imported"-made somewhere between here and Long Beach-declare their sales have exceeded greatest expectations.

Link: This must be a statue of the Zora Champion from 100 years ago. I believe her name was Mipha? Randy (other older brother): She's your bae. Link: ... I'm sorry, what now?
