[Shapiro, Fred]

I indicated before that this citation came from JSTOR, but it actually comes from American Periodical Series.


Dada, n.2 (OED 1920)

1918 _Viereck's_ 24 July 396 (American Periodical Series)  The _Ko[umlaut over o]lnische Zeitung_ says: ... "For the present the whole 'dada' movement, which is now trying with its propaganda evenings to captivate the youths and maidens of Berlin West, is only an object of mirth.
