unearths some literary gems.
From The New Yorker, Jan.-June 1926:
***There is...that terrible moment at which one of the deck-hands hears the word "efficiency" and most comically asks, "What fish did you see?"***[Hello, Lola!] does not even live up to the standard of things called Hello, Lola!***Easter, a play twenty-five years old, looks and acts its age.***That portion of the public which likes to take its drama while lolling on the small of its intellect.***Add to them the delightful young giggler of one Phyllis Connard.***[Beau-Strings] is a cleverly dull evening.***["Playing along," in the Wilde]Dudley Digges, who directed [a 1926 revival of The Importance of Being Earnest] plays along capitally as the country curate.***...and twenty more Et Ceteras dutifully doing forty So Forths.***If so many Jims Corbett and Felixes Isman had not had their memories printed...***Notes on a few of the attachments:"Great Caesar's Ghost": Previously, I've encountered this only as an oath, never as an actual persona or archetype! (May be a one-off.)The "pin drop / Grant's tomb" item illustrates exactly that--a protagonist in a humor piece dropping the proverbial pin in the proverbially silent tomb.The incidental truncation that appears to read "cow Art" in the item labeled "yes" actually said "Moscow Art [Theater, I guess]"; but the layout had to make a detour around an illustration, as one does.
