If Shakespeare were alive today and writing comedy for the movies, he would be the head-liner for the Mack Sennett studios.

For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. "I don't see how you stand it," they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out.
