No Newspaper Comics In 1900
The time was 1900. The place was a sitting room of that period. Isobel Elsom, in the role of a fussy maiden aunt, was packing heirlooms for Sylvia Sidney, who was about to be married to John Hodiak. Miss Elsom had just wrapped a china eondlestick in a newspaper, when Director Whorf sprang up and shouted: “Not that side of the paper! Not Dick Red Ryder and Blondie in a London newspaper of Queen Victoria’s time! Use the want ad section—that looks more like an English front page anyway.” So Miss Elsom used the want ad section, saving the studio from any embarrassing comment when the picture opens.
