unearths some literary gems.
From Vanity Fair, 1921:
***As he walked along he whistled and sang and turned handsprings and flapjacks. [F. Scott Fitzgerald]***The stranger...was trying to buy the land for a song. He was considering what song to offer. [ibid.]***The Skylark is a slugging match in which all the characters aim epigrams at each other and miss.***Bonuses:" 'Odd's fudge " [a composite oath penned by Noel Coward!]A revue entitled, Eh, Bébé!!, by Rire and Sourire [made up by Nathan]A real revue entitled Zig-ZagMany more snippets attached. A couple of notes:"Seeking the Bubble Reputation at the Camera's Mouth": Okay, I have no idea what that headline means."The Younger Generation of French Illustrators": I guess it's unintentional that the photo spread suggests that it's the babies who are this "younger generation" of illustrators?
