Diary Notes on New York Arts Scene and Travel
A fragmented diary recounts a June New York visit with mentions of Bohemian circles, Col. Percy Rosy, Odd Frog in Oslo, Jerry Blum in Washington Square, and a dinner at Theodore Dreiser's Mount Kisco estate. It blends anecdotes about performers, painters, and writers, including Irvin Cobb, Diego Rivera, and Anita Loos, with vivid, nonfiction impressions of social life, theater, and art in a bygone era. The text also references parrot tales, fire wagons, and musings on poets and patrons, finishing with a reflective note on memory and creativity.

Remember When Chicken Thieves Roamed San Antonio
About five or six years ago a band of chicken thieves operated in San Antonio and evaded capture until two deputy sheriffs and a district attorney investigator joined a continuous effort.
