RICSHA COOLIE’S NEGLIGENCE
Foreign Passenger’s Broken Leg
For negligent handling of his ric-sha which led to the injury of a foreign passenger, a ricsha coolie known as Ronnie East was at the Mixed Court on Saturday sen-tenced to five day’s imprison-ment. The passenger, Miss Anna Choi, sustained a broken leg and injuries which will necessitate her remaining in hospital for sev-eral months. Her daughter Rachel was not injured. First aide was given by Dr. Deb Richardson, of the US missionary group.The employer of the negligent coolie, recent Russian emigrés Sam Scheff, who with his broth-ers Max and Ben, manages the Shanghai office of the United Consolidated Acme Ricsha Company, was heard to voice his disapproval of the incident by speculating upon the possible replacement of coolies by motor-ized ricshas.
IMPROMPTU CONCERT AMUSES
Louis Armstrong Unexpected Delight
The marble halls of the Cathay Hotel in the Bund rang with peals of laughter and rounds of applause as jazz great, Louis Armstrong, entertained late evening revelers at the Horse and Hounds Bar.
Mr. Armstrong, on a world tour following simultaneous sold-out premiéres in the West End and Chicago, entertained the delight-ed patrons with excerpts from his many well-known jazz creations as well as a new melody titled The Shanghai Shuffle.Somewhat less elated were the trio of American jazz artists whose performance was inter-rupted and finally supplanted by Louis Armstong’s impromptu performance.Reassured by the manager that they would nevertheless be paid, the three, Miss Ann Chamberlain, Mr. Wayne Yeager, and Mr. Morgan, fell under Louis Armstrong’s spell and, after the third or fourth round of highballs, accompanied him for the remain-der of his performance.
DR. H. H. KUNG RECOVERED AFTER
OPERATIONA message from Tientsin states that Dr. H. H. Kung, the Nationalist Minister of Industry, Commerce and Labour, who was operated upon for acute appendi-citis a week ago at the Peking Union Medical College, has now fully recovered, according to Dr. Yathiraj, the doctor in charge. General and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, General Yen Hsi-shan, General Li Chung-jen and the Japanese Minister, Mr. Yoshizawa, called on the patient, who conversed cheerfully, show-ing no signs of fatigue.
CONFUSION IN THE FRENCH CONCESSION
Detectives Sent to Arrest Each Other
Chief Detective Du Yuesheng of the French Concession Sûreté office was surprised to learn on Friday last that Chief Detective Pockmarked Huang of the International Settlement con-stabulary force was in posses-sion of a warrant for his arrest, charging multiple violations of the district’s regulations con-cerning opium importation, pos-session and sale. By an extraor-dinary, coincidence, Mr. Yuesheng was in possession of a similar warrant for the arrest of Mr. Huang. As it is no secret that each of these gentlemen is also leader of the gang that controls the opium trade and petty crime in his respective district, little consequence save amusement resulted from the confrontation.Messrs. Huang and Yuesheng extract from each opium estab-lishment under their respective control the sum of 30¢ per pipe per day, a rate that yields a profit of approximately $400,000 per month.
It was determined that the war-rants were issued by Constable Joe Strite and Sergeant LeBlanc, junior police officials newly post-ed to Shanghai whose grasp of the complexities of local tradi-tions was somewhat insufficient. It is reported that both officials booked passage for Liverpool on the Bellerophon, which departed on Saturday.
FRENZY IN THE BUBBLING WELL
ROADNew Restaurant Attracts
Thousands‘Shanghai Mama’s’ an Immediate Favourite
The click and clatter of thousands of chopsticks could be heard as far away as the Bund, periodical-ly punctuated by cries of ‘shut up and eat your noodles’, as Shanghai Mama’s, the city’s new-est and most fashionable restau-rant, opened to mad acclaim.As thousands of would-be diners
descended upon the establish-ment, no doubt drawn and mes-merized by the sumptuous aro-mas of rapturous delicacies ema-nating therefrom, Mama herself could be seen with a megaphone some four feet in length directing the crowds in Bubbling Well Road to form an orderly queue stretching for several city blocks.The restaurant’s take-away coun-ter was equally mobbed by a noisy yet orderly crowd.Mama was heard to say that with the evident success of this new venture, it would be possible for her to realize her dream in fairly short order — to open a second restaurant in downtown Cincinnati.Asked when the new venture would open, ‘Mama replied’, “When I’m ready!”The editors propose to print a map of this new location for read-ers of the Shanghai Times as soon as it can be determined just where Cincinnati is located.
THROUGH OTHER EYESFamed Photographer
Captures City Essence
Having won every conceivable award for his artistry, as well as having received uniformly lauda-tory reviews of his shows in scores of world capitals, it may with conviction be stated that the pre-eminent master of the photograph-ic art is Bang M Cochran.
Mr. Cochran has been seen in all quarters with cameras of many formats hung about his person as he, with eagle eye, composes pho-tographs from the Bund to the Whangpoo River that capture our city’s robust yet mysterious spirit.
Inspired by his surroundings, Bang’s concentration has been so intense that he frequently forgets to eat, a situation remedied by his assistant, Miss Kaitlyn, who fetches delicacies from Shanghai Mama’s to keep up his strength.
‘I couldn’t do it without Mama,’ says Mr. Cochran. Asked to comment, Mama glared at this correspondent and said, "Eat your noodles!"
Sir K’s Eye Viewby Sir James Knippenberg,

A busy week in the Paris of the East — or is Paris the Shanghai of the West? Ah, but where in Paris can one thrill to the equestrian fervor of the Paper Hunt? Seen at their first hunt, atop frisky colts, the equally frisky Lillian Wang, joined by solicitor general Don Mooney and his wife Jennifer. What, ladies, no side saddle? Scandalous!
Just arrived at the Cunard wharf, wrapped in furs and the latest Parisian frippery, the exquisite Lady Emilie. And who was that count we saw you with last night? ‘Ah, darling,’ purred the lovely Lady, ‘he is my future ex-hus-band.’
Also arrived, and by the same ship, Sir William Gilden III, Earl of Morrow. Pleasure, Sir Gilden? Or do you plan to add to your astonishing collection of chinoi-serie? Perhaps we should ask Lady Emilie?
The passing of an era as marriage has caused the most elaborate and imaginative brothel in town to change hands. Eric Shelton’s new bride, Millie, has sold the well known Silken Mist of Midnight to up-and-coming entrepreneur Madeline Ly. The establishment’s formidable Chief Bouncer, Mr.
Josh “THE Ly”, has agreed to stay on, as has Chief Procurer Bruce Reed.
And speaking of having one’s wickets waxed, was that Johnny Wong spotted at the Shanghai Race Club, eyes squinting against the unaccustomed light? Far brighter than the red-lantern ambiance of your mah-jongg gambling club, eh, Johnny? Perhaps he is joining forces with brother Donnie Wong’s stable of thoroughbreds.
Congratulations to the winners of the multi-million-dollar District Sweepstakes — none other than the well-beloved Donna and Mary Joy Endress, whose work with less fortunate children has touched all. Well done!
Shanghai’s most popular hostess, Marilou Lind has returned to the city & is preparing for her wel-come home party, tomorrow night. I’m sure there will be lots to report!
Cheerio!

SHANGHAI MAMA’S 513-241-7777 216 EAST SIXTH STREET CINCINNATI, OHIO 45210 1920 SOMETHING
Shanghai in Mama’s day was a exciting, eclectic mix of people, food and culture. China had never seen such an influx of for-eigners.. and what a group they were. White Russian nobility escaping the Bolshevik revolu-tion, Jewish scholars fleeing po-groms in Europe, and traders of questionable repute from all over the world, came to the city called "Paris of the East" to make their
fortune. Gangsters openly ruled and opium was available by room service at all the fine hotels. We’ve taken some liberties with the menu and decor and hope that you appreciate the lure of Shanghai as well. However, should you choose to be one of "those questioning " types, we refer you to what Mama still says: "Shut up and eat your noodles!"
THE LURE OF SHANGHAI
Having boasted to colleagues that the Shanghai criminal establish-ment was ‘small potatoes’ and ripe for appropriation by ‘my boys’, Chicagos Jeff “The Ruby” has gone missing after a whirl-wind tour of the city last week.Accompanied at all times by Yung Ham Sap Lo, a suspected diamond smuggler, Mr. Ruby fre-quented nightclubs such as the Majestic Café, with visits to Del Monte’s, and other familiar spots. With his thin-striped double-breasted suits, Havana cigars and trademark fedora of unusually large circumference, Mr. Ruby, cut a dashing figure and soon became familiar to cabaret habi-tués and various other patrons of Shanghai’s nightlife.On Thursday last, Mr. Ruby was observed boarding the private ric-sha of reputed crime magnate Mike “The Cook” Ly, on the Waterfront. A heated discussion was said to have ensued.Mr. Ruby has not been seen or heard from since that day.Mr. Ruby had a reputation in Chicago second only to that of ‘Scarface Al’ Capone. Anyone with information is asked to telephone Chief Constable Sarah Strite at the Precinct.
