Show THOSE LEMONS the article in in ou our r contemporary last week signed P J koford chief janitor at the opera house was very entertaining and showed considerable literary talent brother koford has missed his calling sure but for fear he e might launch out in the literary literak y field we feet feel constrained to offer just a few words of advice in the first place brother koford dont be like some reverend gentlemen with whom we have come in personal contact who take just a word or a phrase here and there of a passage and adri otly construe them to suit their argument paying no attention to the real meaning of the sentence aich is explained in the phrasing that is not used again when quoting verbatim be sure su re it Is verbatim and dont take a lot of words that were neither written nor spoken and set them in quotation marks as the exact language of another again remember that what someone else does has no bearing on what bat we do their acts cannot be made an excuse for our acts finally brother koford we think it was very unkind of you to make us out a liar when we were doing our best to shield you by saying that those lemons were booked by the circuit agent and not yourself the balance of your article has caused a great deal of amusement both in this of fi fice ce and on the street but the tact fact remains that lemons are lemons the only difference being that some are I 1 more juicy than others |
