How later courts describe this case

  • statute must be “sufficiently explicit to inform those who are subject to it what conduct on their part will render them liable to its penalties.”
  • tests for vagueness based on fourteenth amendment due process or fairness concerns
  • upholding prohibition against making "unreasonable noise"
