Books with author Stuart Anderson

This volume was published in 1921 and reflects the humor of that era.From the Foreword:To give the pleasure of laughter and to teach how to create laughter is the dual object of this small volume. For those who ask of it only that it amuse them, it offers the fine siftings of thousands of quips, jests, and brief anecdotes that have appeared in the American humoristic press, and in some foreign publications, during the last twelve months, together with smile-provokers that have been sent to the compiler or that he has heard vis-a-vis or in the small circle or in the public audience. This collection accurately mirrors American contemporaneous taste in humor. For those whose desire is instruction, the two chapters, "Sugges-tions to Toastmasters" and "How to Tell a Funny Story," will supply it in practical form. The aspirant for the honors of a Toastmaster is given a plan which will carry him safely from novi- tiate to mastership ; and when that time has come, and he has gained the self-reliance which experience gives, he will be able to formulate his own programs and magnetize them with his own personality. "How to Tell a Funny Story" lays the course for him who would become adept in the jester's profitable art. And both to him who would be a super-excellent Toastmaster and to him who would be a king of jesters an abundance of material is supplied, in the compiltion which precedes the two lessons. Indeed, it would be difficult to find any other publication which supplies both a rich fund of humor material and instruction in its use. And may I add that while a nation's jests feed its laughter, they also, in their varied aggregate, reflect its life. Look beneath the surface jests and you shall find the thoughts, the ideals, the foibles, the fads, the virtues, the vices, the pains, the pleasures, the loves, the hates of the representative multitude. And thus the flippant or joyous or satiric words that are touched with laughter are also "an abstract and brief chronicle of the times." Stewart Anderson. New York, November, 1921.
