Fanny had long been Broadway's No. 1 comedienne; to her flock of friends, Billy was just "Mr. Brice," a noisy little guy who carried drinks and got underfoot. Billy began looking around for an equalizer. In 1930, he decided to become a Broadway producer...
Beside the members of his husky flock, pint-sized (5 ft. 2½ in.), bookish Pastor Burger looks even smaller than he is.

The guests sat down in early afternoon to a menu featuring 60 kinds of meat, 54 vegetables, 23 salads, eleven...
Disregarding Holmes' advice almost 200 handkerchief-wielding, bleary-eyed University students flock to the Hygiene Building at bi-weekly intervals to get injections for their malady. So great has been their onslaught that the bottles of serum used for the shots have overflowed one refrigerator, and the Hygiene Department has been forced to install another one to handle the rush...
