...Mark Twain of this book is tired and nearing extinction. Some of the material was dictated circa 1898, but most of it after 1906. Twain had previously written his great books (the first half of Life on the Mississippi, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn). He had met all the right people, shaken all the right hands. He was utterly lonely. For most of his life Twain remained, as he still is, the last major U. S. literary voice...
...actually the second of a series, for the first Kyser picture, That's Right, You're Wrong, appeared twelve months ago. Financed jointly by R. K.

You may call these new graduates "soft" or what you will, but like the father who punishes his sons for reading his diary, you will never be able to beat out of them the truth they have acquired.

...what is needed is not so much a professional but a man with interest and drive enough to put the course over. In its own fold, Harvard has men like Mr. Siepmann who can give valuable professional advice. And then there is always the bright hope that an expert right from the field of radio and drama might be induced to spend a day or two a week at Harvard...
