Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fresh Every Hour: Detailing the Adventures, Comic and Pathetic of One Jimmy Martin, Purveyor of Publicity, a Young Gentleman Possessing Sublime Nerve, Whimsical Imagination, Colossal Impudence, And, Withal, the Heart of a Child
Jimmy itched to give out a story concerning the social and business connections of the young soldier, but he had given his word, and being an ex-news paper man, that was sacred. He temporarily forgot about Bobby and devoted his spare moments to figuring out ways and means for the sensational exploitation of Lolita Murphy to whose charms he had become a shackled slave from the moment he first glimpsed her at rehearsal. Lolita, it may be mentioned in passing, was a trifle discouraged at the comparatively slight opportunities for uplifting and otherwise ennobling the American stage offered by her participation in Secret Service Sallie. Her name wasn't even mentioned on the program. She figured under an impersonal heading at the bot tom, together with a couple of hundred other young women who were listed as Berlin citizens, Japan ese geisha girls, South Americans, Londoners, etc etc?'
