...Chasen became a favorite with audiences as Comedian Joe Cook's dizzy straight man in the '20s and '30s. When vaudeville declined, he opened a six-table chili-and-spare-ribs joint in Beverly Hills. Chasen's show business comrades-among them, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Joan Crawford and W.C. Fields-became loyal patrons and helped build Chasen's into show biz's most glamorous beanery...
Pornography, as everyone knows, is -well, what is it?

An intermittently employed actor, Smackenfelt begins his good works by servicing his id-his bestial Freudian self, whom he calls Blodgett. It lusts after Ginger Truepenny, who is not exactly Smackenfelt's mother-in-law, but close enough. She is the aunt who raised his orphaned wife Dolly, who spends most of her time writing plays. By such tasteful amendments does De Vries remove the curse of incest without seriously weakening the underpinning...
