This was the first New Year’s Eve since the USA entered the World War. Despite new restrictions, all outdoor electrical signs including theatre marquees, were permitted to run full blast. In midtown, a reported 1,000,000 people had gathered by midnight, about half on Broadway between 47th and 42nd Streets, and the remainder on side streets.
