H Allen Smith Remains A Vanishing Humorist
B4E Boyle profiles H Allen Smith author of Rhubarb and Son of Rhubarb. Aged 59, Smith reflects on a waning era of American humorists, his skepticism of worldly pomp, and his view that true humor is social critique rather than mere clowning. He recalls 1925 peers like Benchley and Parker, and laments the move toward spoken humor over written prose.
