...serial in Charles Dickens' magazine, All the Year Round, and though it followed Dickens' own Tale of Two Cities, it boosted circulation above even the Dickens level. Serialized in the U.S. by Harper's Magazine at the same time, it was still in print under the Harper label 70 years later...
Rather surprisingly-for nothing can be as dreary as a comic in cold print-these reminiscences turn out to be both engaging and amusing. The book is really three in one. One subtitle might read "Up from Penury," the Dickensian tale of a poor Boston Irish boy who made good; another, "Vaudeville's Final Hour," a nostalgic total recall of the show-business tribe that was "half gypsy and half suitcase"; and the third, "The Fred Allen Joke Book," for gags are sprinkled all over-mostly outrageous gags, gags that used to be known as "forty-men jokes...

Many of them also feel that names should be used more often to put pressure on the offenders and their parents. Says the Miami Herald's Associate Editor John D. Pennekamp: "Juvenile criminals are as bad as adult criminals-or worse. Maybe if they see it in the papers, the juveniles will believe it themselves." The strict Florida law preventing courts and police from divulging juvenile names recently led a young hoodlum...
