A prominent dramatic critic vouches for the following:

Deems Taylor, walking along Park Row, was hailed by Robert C. Benchley. “Hell, George,” said Benchley. He thought it was Murdock Pemberton.

The same critic swears the following is true:

Raymond Hitchcock, if he had met Ring W. Lardner at the Players′ Club, might have said, “Ring, I′ll bet you five dollars you don′t know which of the Great Lakes Alpena, Michigan is on.”

“You′re on!” would have been Lardner′s possible answer.

To which Hitchcock might have replied, “You win; Huron is right.”
