Met Alexander Woollcott and Heywood Broun at a first night we were roguish together for hours Alexander Woollcott says that each new play is a fresh joy to him, but the question is whether he's a fresh joy to each new play! I wonder. Spent all last night at Coney Island I've never known such an atmosphere of genuine carnival.
We see Jo Davidson running to the fire and we nod at him politely. Money makes a big difference, you know. "And then we hear a cry. I recognize Schneider and I see him break loose from the crowd. He runs back into the burning saloon, a fireman after him. Broun and I, we stand and watch. He is probably gone after one of his kids.
"He shall drink his Jessie Broun to the dregs." And then, spying the Master outside, he opened the window, and crying to him by the name of Mr. Bally, asked him to step up and have a word. "James," said he, when our persecutor had come in and closed the door behind him, looking at me with a smile, as if he thought I was to be humbled, "you brought me a complaint against Mr.
In the last back-end I was at Gledfoot wi' sheep, and a weary job I had and little credit. Ye ken the place, a lang dreich shore wi' the wind swirlin' and bitin' to the bane, and the broun Gled water choked wi' Solloway sand.
The woman had another stone ready, which she made as if she would cast; and he, to ward himself, threw up the hand that held his riding-rod. "What, would ye beat a lassie, ye ugly ?" cries she, and ran away screaming as though he had struck her.

Then in 1845 the railway mania in England brought a revival of all colonial schemes. Sir Richard Broun took up the plan for a line from Halifax to Quebec, along with other grandiose projects connected with his endeavour to revive the lost glories of the baronetage of Nova Scotia, but did not get past the stage of forming a provisional committee.
Moreover, likely they would not be amusing.... Also, the exponents of Nonsenseorship are victorious; and at least the agonized cries of the vanquished, their cynical comment or outraged protest, should be given opportunity for expression! Not that we consider HEYWOOD BROUN agonized, cynical, or outraged.
Broun says, 'You want a drink, Max? I say, 'No, Frank. Then I engage Schneider in talk while Broun makes away with a meal. Then Broun does the talking and it is my turn. "Well, it got so that the good Schneider finally points out to us one day. 'Max, he says, 'and Frank, I tell you something.
I feel, sir, that that record gives me the right ipso facto to offer my humble criticism of a statement made in your November number by that worthy critic of the drama, Mr. Heywood Broun. Humanum est errare, and I am sure that Mr. In my younger days, now long past, it was not considered infra dig for a critic to reply to such letters as this, and I hope that Mr.
The highly personal critic, adventuring, or even frolicking among masterpieces, and recording his experiences, is the true type, and it is he that the ego-friskish imitate. Such a critic in the jovial person of Mr. Chesterton, or Professor Phelps, or Heywood Broun, contributes much to the vividness of our sense for books.
