Oliver Quade, the Human Encyclopedia

I hope every reader of Black Mask goes to see this picture at least ten times, for if it’s a success there’ll be more Oliver Quade pictures.

I’ve promised myself a treat. If “Funny Man” is ever filmed and I am still around Hollywood, I’m going to see Mr. Lynn Overman do the scene where he imitates Desmond Dogg.
