Try and Stop Me By Bennett Cerf Anecdotes
Bennett Cerf collects spry anecdotes about old masters of business and theater. A ninety five year old Barnstable shopkeeper plays checkers beside a quiet front, a banker mishears a request for a loan, and William A Brady explains morale boosting by inflating nightly box office by three hundred dollars before a misfiled report reveals a blank theatre with no performance. The piece is distributed by King Features Syndicate.
