Two little-known NYC papers: slang troves?

_Broadway Brevities_ http://www.arts.mcgill.ca/programs/AHCS/cultureofcities/gallery4/front.html

and its possibly raunchier imitator _New Broadway Brevities_, were notorious scandal sheets of the 1920s and '30s.

I doubt if these have been scanned into any database, or are even on microfilm, but it would be worth keeping an eye out for them.
