Cartoonist Billy De Beck never donned baggy trousers and a putty nose to exhibit himself as Barney Google. Cartoonist Fred Opper never publicly appeared in the Quixotic guise of Happy Hooligan. But last week Cartoonist Otto Soglow, elaborately garbed in the beard, crown and ermine of his Little King, made a coast-to-coast goodwill tour on a TWAirliner to celebrate the debut of his famed New Yorker comic strip in Puck, the 16-page funnypaper published weekly in Hearst-papers throughout...
Year ago Artist Soglow sold Publisher Hearst a comic strip called The Ambassador. Last week The Ambassador was recalled to make way for the Little King, who at the same time abdicated from the New Yorker, his contract having expired. In his debut as a Hearstling the Little King romped gaily in color through a page of ten drawings, in which he was depicted as entertaining his assembled subjects with an impromptu performance on a tight rope...
...cinema. As an animated cartoon, his success was inconspicuous. A beardless variation of the Little King was created for an advertising series in which the diminutive monarch, grown suddenly articulate, dealt didactically with the merits of Standard Oil's Red Crown Super-fuel.

The result is an original opus instead of a collection of Artist Soglow's previously published pictures from...
...Pons, Ponselle and Lawrence Tibbett struggled to get radio auditions but no one in the broadcasting studios had heard of them. The 1934 finale was a jazzed version of Aida with a Ford used instead of horses and all the members of the company kowtowing to Cartoonist Otto Soglow who sat on the throne dressed like his own "Little King." But as the audience jostled out into the night the talk was not so much of the comedy as of the evening's one serious interlude. When Narrator Knight reached the year 1921 the stage was empty save...
