Show When Jack London was reporting report-ing the Russo-Jap war from Korea, an official called and said the people peo-ple of the town wanted to see him. A platform was built and London rehearsed a speech. When he ascended as-cended the platform before a huge crowd, the official asked him to remove re-move his false teeth. London shruggingly obliged, whereupon the audience broke out in cheers. There was no speech. London kept taking out and putting in his bridge to the applause of the multitude! |
