Interesting, But Untrue
The New York Evening Journnl, re¬ porting tlic passing of tlic noted Jewisli actor, Louis Mann, dccLircd tliat Mann remarked as he passed out: "The curtain is down but the show was a good one."
Now, that's quite draniatic and iwrhaps Mann should have said something like that, but pur guess is that the sentence is pure and uiilinn'tcd coinage of the re¬ porter or rewrite man.
In our newspaper career, we h,ive com¬ mitted such odcnscs oursclf. The tempta¬ tion is too great to be resisted. But do great men persist in forgetting lo .idd those little dramatic flourishes, wliich mean so much for the newspaperman? Why did, for instance. General Pershing forget to say "J^aFayette, we arc here")' But he did, and it was actually said by some minor officer, whose name wc for¬ get, and will never be remembered bv anyone else,
_. Take Your Bathtub Along
Of course, fundamentally, it's the same trouble that plagues all of us. We think of that bit of clever repartee,-after we go home from the party, or as we loll about in tlie morning in bed. just after a night's sleep.
_ They arc very apt to come, too, while in the midst of a warm bath. Any form of relaxation seems to promote them' . But the trouble is, one can't carry along a bed or a bathtub to a party or a meet¬ ing or .anything like tbat.
Many of us would be. thought very clever if our wisecracks weren't about 12 hours late.
The Catharsis of a Good Talk
Z. Tygel tells a verv good one,, but to be properly appreciated it must be told in Yiddish. I shall venture to tell it how¬ ever in half-and-half. The story deals with two Jewish Womeii aet;uaintances, who chanced upon each other downtown or uptown—have it your way.
"How is the ma?" asked No. 1.
"Aw," replied No. 2 with a quelch.
'How is the pa?"
''Aw," again with a second quelch. How is the grandpa?"
"A-w," again with a third queteh.
''How is the cousin?"
'Aw," replied No. 2 yet again with a fourth queteh.
"Veil, es iss gut as men redt zich'aus die hartz," concluded No. 1 as the two parted.
I don't know whether it is possible to get this one over in "litera scripta" but Its a good one when told.
Pride of East Side
The death of .Louis Wolheim removes a most intriguing personality. Wolheim was a living advertisement of the better : side of the old East Side. He had that rough and readiness, which seemed to be a characteristic of that section, along Continited on page 4
