Could those who have read it comment further on its quality --- and does it seem to be mostly Baum or mostly Vidal?Jim Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992575111576750824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-65914317601422196542014-09-09T21:32:00.109-05:002014-09-09T21:32:00.109-05:00I'm happy to help out - I'll drop you an e...I'm happy to help out - I'll drop you an email.Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-60882239075111460682014-09-09T20:46:02.310-05:002014-09-09T20:46:02.310-05:00Last year I read a copy of Gore Vidal's script...Last year I read a copy of Gore Vidal's script in his papers with an eye toward a <i>Bugle</i> article. It doesn't have clear or direct references to Groucho, and this booklet seems ambiguous about whether Vidal's script was originally meant for Groucho or he was attached later. <br /><br />I filed my notes on the project because I knew the article would need more information on the production than the script alone provided. This booklet seems to have that. Bill, are you interested in pooling resources and collaborating on an article? J. L.
