...addition to serving as a full-time partner in each, George S. (for nothing) Kaufman has also set up in the play business with at least 22 other people, once conducting a thriving emporium with the late Ring Lardner, a going concern with Morrie Ryskind, four swanky shops with Edna Ferber, two small hamburger stands with Alexander Woollcott, a pushcart with Howard Dietz, and a sidewalk trade out of a suitcase with Herman J.
