From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, November 1, 1914: The king of mirth reigned supreme in Indianapolis last night as thousands of joyous masqueraders marched in a grand carnival procession that wended its way through downtown streets. An immense crowd of fantastically attired citizens swarmed into Monument Place at the conclusion of the Halloween parade where the Indianapolis Military Band played on the south terrace doing its very best before a space jammed with merry makers for nearly half a square in each direction. Those who wished to dance could only clasp each other and sway. The masqueraders satisfied themselves with tooting and whistling and shouting and horn blowing. The cafes overflowed with noisy throngs. “Charlie Chaplin” was there along with clowns, “Indians,” Mephistopheles, and little devils. All was fun and amusement suffused with a gamboling spirit.
