From The Barmecide's Feast, by John Gore:
[Barmecide: "One who offers imaginary food or illusory benefits." --OED. It seems maybe to derive from an Arabian Nights tale.]***She was a leader of the artistic set, who call one another by their Christian names the first time they meet, and usually correspond on future occasions only through their solicitors.***[Some offstage character names]Lady MountgloomsburyLady Heliotrope LacklandMr. Selanger Slap-Cabbage ("he spelt it to her")[And one corporation]The Patent Banana Peeling Capsule Company, Ltd.[There's also an episode in which someone loses his job in a government ministry because he unconsciously drafted an important official document in such as way that the prose could be read as rhymed verse.][More snippets, and one stand-out illustration, attached. Snippet 02 is from a scene in which society-page editors are shown using Mad-Libs-style templates to plug in whichever gentry they want to repay for buying subscriptions. (And when it comes to describing the featured ladies' outfits, the editors just make stuff up from, as it were, whole cloth.)]

unearths some literary gems.
From Life, 1921 (part 2):
***[These two films] had amusing stories, with definite ideas, so that (unlike most comedies) they did not give the impression that they had been written backwards in Esperanto.... [Sherwood]***Aside from the fact that it doesn't make any sense, "A Heart to Let" is a pretty little idyl. [ditto]***When a small child I was frequently taken to the zoo. What impressed me there most were the animals.***Take a good look--if you've got a good look to take.***Christopher Morley...has succeeded so admirably in elevating the unimportance of literary thinking into a distinctive position alongside many other unimportances....***"I'm a pants manufacturer, not a prophet." [Montague Glass]***Notes on some of the attachments:1. Naturally, the "Am I Real?" gimmick reminded me of "Are You a House Name?"2. Ear wiggling (as a minor talent) shows up a lot in my 1920s humor reading!3. I've included the Sherwood item headed "1921" as evidence that "top ten" lists have been filling space for at least a century.4. Note the early variant of the "walk this way" gag!

unearths some literary gems.
From Life, 1921 [part 1]:
***
There seems to be one act too many in the piece, and, if I wanted to be personal, I should say that it is the third. [Benchley]
***
It ends by everyone accusing everyone else, without the slightest justice, of being to blame for the whole thing. According to the programme, Mr. Henry Baron is to blame. [ditto]
***
It is a translation from the French, which means that people in it are constantly dashing off to catch trains which leave in exactly one hour. [ditto]
***
Of "Princess Virtue" something good might have been said had it been different....The music is nice when it is first sung..., but during the first encore you begin to look at the cupids on the proscenium arch....When as delightfully insane a comedian as Hugh Cameron is available, he should not have to call a gendarme "the left side of an apple pie." [ditto]
***
Mr. Shaun Glenville also had his name in [bold] type on the program. Maybe it was mourning. A great many dead jokes and long-buried comedy tricks were dragged out for his benefit at any rate. [ditto]
***
Every one of its characters has been long since so standardized that no matter where on the road the play may be it can always pick up a spare part at the nearest stock-company theatre that will fit exactly. [ditto]
***
He is not as young as Leonora, but looks older. In fact, they both look older. [Montague Glass]
***
There is not much to recommend "Snow Blind" except the snow, of which there is a great deal. [Robert E. Sherwood]
***
Its story has just about the same breadth as a geometrical line, and it takes considerably longer to reach a given point. [ditto]
***
He had a habit of talking in fractions.

Parody analog horror meets 1970s tropes (like pet rocks, lava lamps, disco music, bell-bottom pants, mirror balls, and of course mood rings) in the web series Grave Mood Rings. It pokes fast fun at classic slow-moving Gothic soap operas like Dark Shadows and the Canadian series Strange Paradise. In addition to a vampiric Viscount, a castle is home to a groovy Doctor (a phlebotomist, naturally), a jolly housekeeper with her own laugh track, a werewolf Vicar, and an arch-nemesis riddler wearing a Sphinx mask. Corny wordplay, the occasional bizarre sing-a-long, and haunted doughnuts punctuate the proceedings, in the tradition of the sketch comedy of MadTV, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV. This episode was written by Jonathan Caws-Elwitt.

From short stories in a couple of mystery anthologies:
Manning's jumpiness increased by at least six latent jumps. ["Death Walks in Marble Halls, by Lawrence G. Blochman"]Benson haunted Betty Vale like an unemployed ghost. [ditto]"Betty's gone to Bermuda for the onion season." [ditto]"He has at least a dozen toupees he wears to match his moods." [ditto]The corners of Klawitz's mouth turned down in a sarcastic crescent. [ditto][One more snippet from that story is attached.]"You should have been a cataloguer like Miss Benson.""A cataloguer? But she was head of the branch, wasn't she?""She had the soul of a cataloguer," said Mrs. Jarvis darkly.["QL 696 .C9," by Anthony Boucher]"Readin'! 'Ritin'! 'Rithmetic! Abracadabra and Rubadubdub."["The Adventure of the Three R's," by Ellery Queen]He...went toward the stairs, Mr. Smith following him like a small tail on a large comet. ["Whistler's Murder," by Fredric Brown--in which the murderee was a former vaudeville whistling specialist, and the murderers, also retired vaudevillians [SPOILER] turn out to have sneaked across a field unobserved by donning the horse costume they'd worn in their act.]"I challenged Wesley to forfeit the fee if, under identical circumstances, I couldn't produce bigger and better ghosts." ["Fingerprint Ghost," by Joseph Commings]The long black Chesterfield she was wearing looked as if had been bequeathed to her by Lord Chesterfield himself. [ditto]"Let me see...if I have this straight. Your son Derek was lost twenty years ago. Recently he has returned. Rather, two of him has returned." ["The Calico Dog," by Mignon G. Eberhart]

Parody analog horror meets 1970s tropes (like pet rocks, lava lamps, disco music, bell-bottom pants, mirror balls, and of course mood rings) in the web series Grave Mood Rings. It pokes fast fun at classic slow-moving Gothic soap operas like Dark Shadows and the Canadian series Strange Paradise. In addition to a vampiric Viscount, a castle is home to a groovy Doctor (a phlebotomist, naturally), a jolly housekeeper with her own laugh track, a werewolf Vicar, and an arch-nemesis riddler wearing a Sphinx mask. Corny wordplay, the occasional bizarre sing-a-long, and haunted doughnuts punctuate the proceedings, in the tradition of the sketch comedy of MadTV, Kids in the Hall, and SCTV. This episode was written by Jonathan Caws-Elwitt.

unearths some literary gems.
From The Smart Set, 1911:
***"And he makes remarks in Russian to his parrot all the time--most ambiguous I'm certain they are."***If after seeing the playlet you do not agree with me, I shall be compelled to admit that you are wrong. [Nathan]***campussy Harvard translations [Nathan]***In the noonday of good Queen Victoria the name of the hero was always George and that of the heroine Amelia. [Mencken]***In construction [the play] closely approximates the literary architecture of a "Drinking Song." [Nathan]***The passion of love, which in the average best seller is of say 10,000 horse power, is here shown to be fully 10,000,000 horse power. [Mencken]***"He smiles a 'deep, inscrutable smile,' as people do in books."***The theater is being perfumed with Pinaud's famous Eau de Something. [Nathan]***[Many more snippets attached, along with a couple of illustrations. (I included the Victor-Victrola one only because I like how putting it that way sounds sort of like Victor/Victoria.)]
