American Evangelist William Ashley Sunday Preaching, 1930s. '...there are still voices raised in protest [against the Cullen-Harrison Act which permitted the sale of alcohol after the Prohibition era], one of the loudest among them, Billy Sunday, hot-gospeller and self-styled reformer. "I'll fight the saloon from Hawaii to Hoboken, I'll kick it as long as I have a foot, I'll punch it as long as I have a fist, I'll butt it as long as I have a head, I'll bite it as long as I have a tooth, and when I'm old and fistless, and footless and toothless, I'll [?] it till I go home to heaven and it goes home...to Hell". From "Time To Remember - The Tough Guys", 1930s (Reel 2); documentary film, mainly about life in depression- and gangster-hit America.
