That guard is really getting up in there, isn't he? He's the one holding up her prison dress. Interesting.

Crazy to think that the population of New Orleans in 1930 was 18% higher - nearly 70k more people - than it is today.

Can't look for it at the moment, but I always liked that pic of Jesuit vs. Holy Cross at Tad where the stadium was damn full and the ground was full.
Had to be between 1920-1945 ish

Apparently not, at least from 1880 onward.
The New Orleans population peaked in 1960 @ 627,000, 238,000 (61%) higher than it is today.

Tad Gormley was my grandfathers football coach at Loyola.
But back to your point I found this:
When these two met in 1940, 34,345 packed the 24,500-seat City Park (now Gormley) Stadium to witness the 16th meeting. Jesuit won, 25-7, and added the state championship behind its new single-wing offense. That is still the largest crowd to see a prep game in 74 years.

MARDI GRAS, 1941
The King and Queen, in regal splendor, are seen at the Mardi Gras carnival's ball grand march Feb. 8, 1941. Her majesty, usually a debutante, wears an outfit that weighs up to 60lbs. with thousands of rhinestones that costs between $300 to $5,000 dollars.

$5,000 in 1941 = $82,092.86 in 2016

Found it in an old TD thread on Google images.

1929 Street Car Strike
Even more importantly, the 1929 street car strike led to the invention of the poboy. Boom.

A couple of bakers were wanting to feed the men on strike but traditional loafs of bread wasted the end pieces so they created a larger rectangular loaf. Not a very exciting story
