They Could Not Be Printed
WORMAN LONG, interviewed bv a provincial reporter one Monday night, gave the pressman all the particulars of his past life (or all that could be issued). The scribe then said: "Now, Mr. Long, I wonder if you’d have any objection to our printing some of the stories you told to-night in to-morrow’s issue of the paper." Norman pointed out in reply that there was gq drawback in publishing his jokes which had to be used nightly for the rest of the week. The reporter was nice about it, and probably meant well when, in the next morning’s paper, he said: "At the Empire last night, Mr, Norman Long gave a very excellent performance. He told a lot of very good stories, but, unfortunately, they can’t be printed." Listeners to 2YA on Tuesday, May 24, will hear Norman Long, entertainer, in the Music, Mirth and Melody session.
