#1 bestseller for nonfiction in 1934. From Harpo Marx to murder, by a topper of the Algonquin Round Table. Included are his review of O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra," musings on his trip to Russia in the early 1930s, a view of the theatre in Peking (Beijing) and thoughts on Lillian Gish, Damon Runyon. A combo of '30s whimsy and acerbity.
