s 16 Bright Hints For Human Beings By MARSHALL LORIMER THE TONGUE STAB Give a man a reputation In the art of poesy, And that man in sheer elation Will excell in poetry. ‘ v Take from him what little merit He possesses in his art, And by doing so you credit Yourself with his singing part. And the soul with genius breaking, Sinks unnoticed ’neath the sod, With creations in the making Unprized legacies of God. Where had he been kindly fostered, Fancy had unwound — outfurled, And upon its web had clustered Pictures from another world. By Marshall Lorimer. Producer Hal Roach now has two comedy companies at work besides the Harold Lloyd organization.
