[edit] Review of "I'll Say She Is"

Surely Woollcott's role in the Marx Brother's making movies has been slightly overstated. Woollcott reviewed I'll Say She is in 1924 - the Marx Brother's didn't make their first movie - The Cocoanuts - until 1929. His review certainly helped relaunch the teams career, and he often claimed credit for "discovering" them afterwards. I'll rework that little section. -Harlsbottom 03:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] great radio hoax

I removed The Great Radio Hoax of 1935 link from the article since the article doesn't say anything about Woolcott's role in the hoax. It may be worth adding to the article. However, someone has systematically been spamming links about a "walking tour" throughout Algonquin-related articles and I've been cleaning those up along with other excess links. 67.117.130.181 03:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't remove so many links. -Will Beback · † · 23:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shubert Theatres

I removed the below sentence. I have not come across this info, and there is no reference cited. And they can't spell Shubert either.

As a result he sued the Schubert theater organization for violation of the New York Civil Rights Act, but lost in the state's highest court in 1916 on the ground that only discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or color was unlawful.

Anyone agree? --K72ndst 03:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the reomvel of this unsourced information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Will Beback (talk • contribs) 04:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
