I am looking for a collection of Ring Lardner short stories and
(believe it or not) plays.  I once had a copy of such a collection; it
was published in the early 30's and contained some short stories (many
of which were not in ``Round Up'') along with some of the most bizarre
little plays (skits almost) I have ever read.  I have looked in
several used book shops here in Dallas but I haven't seen it.  There
are a few of paperbound collections available widely, but none of
these contain the plays.

How many Ring Lardner fans are there out there?  He was an excellent
writer with an astounding gift for rendering subtle colloquial humor.
Damon Runyan fans would probably enjoy him, if you don't know of his
stuff already.
