"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time.

"And, I may add, from what totally unexpected sources come many of those who from the comparatively modest beginning in the chorus rise to the heights of really great achievement in the theatrical profession."

"Half of the great comedians I've had in my shows and that I paid a lot of money to and who made my customers shriek were not only not funny to me, but I couldn't understand why they were funny to anybody."

"Beauty, of course, is the most important requirement and the paramount asset of the applicant."
