What parties were shut down?

It was primarily a matter of print availability, it seems, but the more I think about it afterwards, the more it makes sense. All silent film is a fantasy of sorts, and early railroad locomotives were the high tech monsters of their time, an original expression of the "Steampunk" mindset.

I was wondering if anyone got good photos of my daughter, who was around wearing a black and silver Dalek dress. If you did and would be willing to share I'd love copies!
