unearths some literary gems.
Fom Life, Jan.-June 1925:
***Father Time (he is not really our father, but we call him that because he is such an old dear and we love him so) [Benchley]***These two gentlemen have done enough damage to the old Barrie whimsy in the past six months to justify his never whimsying again. [Benchley]***Our American producers use miles of subtitles...to get over one idea. [Sherwood]***several new finger exercises descriptive of a train passing through Syracuse, New York [Benchley]***Paths to Paradise, so named because there is absolutely no connection between the title and the story [Sherwood]***[Bonus: "ingenuances" to mean the acting repertoire of screen ingenues]Note on the attachment labeled "junior" (included for its "at any rate, somebody's doing this now" choreography): A layer of confusion cleared for me once I realized that "senior" is "junior's" father, and not a fellow collegian who's aged extraordinarily in only one year.
