1898, the first movie theater opened at the Koster and Bials Music Hall in New York City

1910, President Theodore Roosevelt made his The Man in the Arena speech, at the Sorbonne in Paris, France. It was subsequently re-printed in his book Citizenship in a Republic. The speech is notable for the passage: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

1941, during World War II: The Greek government and King George II evacuate Athens before the invading Wehrmacht

1988, a federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of two hours or less went into effect
