Promina Camp and family quips on natural history jokes
A fragmentary humor item shows Promina Camp asking to visit zoological rooms with her son and a motherly exchange about a boy’s taste for nature. A later snippet notes Pilcher’s father being a poor man and Marshall quipping about whiskey barrels. Also referenced are Anickerbocker Decision and a Yankee constitution remark with a cookery book spoof about Napoleon.
