unearths some literary gems.
From Life, Jan.-June 1930:
***
The three of them together produce but one wondrous work during the evening: Mr. Kruger can pronounce the word lawyer all in one syllable. [Ralph Barton]
***
An ill-fitting tunic or a misplaced helmet will provoke laughs which were never nominated in the author's bond. [Baird Leonard]
***
The picture is titled "In Gay Madrid" because so little of the action takes place there. [Harry Evans]
***
Two notes re. the attachments:
1. The silly illustrations signed "RB" are presumably by Ralph Barton, who also wrote some of the theater columns but was actually more notable as a cartoonist.
2. In case you don't (as I didn't) recognize "spring-slap" as the name of an automotive woe, it apparently referred to jolts caused by inadequate shock absorbers or whatever.
