[edit] Merrily We Roll Along

An anonymous user wrote that Merrily We Roll Along was not a hit, and that the Stephen Sondheim version in 1981 was more popular. Not true. The 1935 edition ran for five months, the 1981 revival less than two weeks. See it on IBDB [1]. --K72ndst 00:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of line from Celebrity

I removed this line:

"Part of the commercial appeal of Kaufman's persona was derived from the fact that he, like Dorothy Parker, appeared to be a serious type of person, surrounded by effete or demonstrative celebrities like Woollcott, Franklin P. Adams, and Harpo Marx

--because it is an unreferenced opinion, not fact. How does one determine who is "effete" or a "demonstrative celebrity"? (What is a demonstrative celebrity anyway??)Nowax 19:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Nowax
