A person would have to know about Alexander Woollcott and the Algonquin Round Table to understand what a magnificent treasure this little video is. I recommend a documentary on YouTube called "The Ten Year Lunch" to learn what's behind this video, and just to broaden one's intellectual/historical horizons. This video is truly wonderful ❤

Is this supposed to be funny? What is the point of this? Two stars instead of one just for the rarity (and seeing Leo G. Carroll in an early movie appearance).
