Babe Hardy Returns From Europe In Changed Form
The author recalls Mae West era star Babe Hardy, known as Olver or Babe, returning from a year of personal appearances in Europe. He notes a dramatic weight loss and altered appearance, comparing him to the former larger figure and humorously to the Empire State Building and Ringling Brothers. A Georgia phrase signals recognition as Hardy speaks to the observer.
