JASBO

   Fred Shapiro had posted this from the CHICAGO TRIBUNE:

1915 _Chicago Daily Tribune_ 11 July E8 (ProQuest)  Blues Is Jazz and Jazz


   I checked for "Jasbo," and that's earlier in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE.


(PROQUEST HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS)
In the Frame of Public Favor
Chicago Daily Tribune (1872-1963). Chicago, Ill.: Mar 22, 1914. p. B11 (1
page) :
   Dave Thompson recently reappointed cast director at the Thanhouser plant
in New Rochelle, has engaged the services of a valet, the same being a huge
Ethiopian nicknamed "Jasbo."  When Dave is not playing in pictures "Jasbo" act as
a personal bodyguard.  The other day "Jasbo" was seated beside Dave's desk
when an actress came in looking for work in the pictures.  "Jasbo" got up to
give the girl his seat.  She turned to him and said, "Don't deprive yourself" and
"Jasbo" replied, "That's all right, miss; no depravity."

TINKER-TO-EVERS-TO-CHANCE

   This is the Chicago Cubs' Hall of Fame "double play" combination, made
famous by the Franklin Pierce Adams poem, "Baseball's Sad Lexicon," in the July
1910 NEW YORK MAIL.
   I thought I'd check the CHICAGO TRIBUNE for the earliest combo.  See the
entry on page 471 of the AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY OF AMERICAN QUOTATIONS.

PRICE-FIXED (PRIX FIXE, continued)

   I saw COOKING FOR KINGS last night, about the first "celebrity chef,"
Careme...It probably doesn't work as a play...No "pave," although it's probably in
his works...Definitions of the words "restaurant" and "bistro" were given.  I
found the first English "restaurant" and had to restrain myself.
   On the way to the show, I passed by Nellie's at Macdougall and West
Houston streets.  A sign stated:

   NELLIE'S
3-COURSE
PRICE-FIXED
DINNER $26

   No one in New York can get "prix fixe" correct?
   Isn't price fixing illegal?
