Arthur Kober[edit]
- ... that Arthur Kober set his 1937 play Having Wonderful Time in a Jewish Catskills resort, but the film adaptation sanitized the ethnic humor?
- Reviewed: Joan of Arc (1900 film)
Created by Offenbach (talk). Self nominated at 07:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC).
Review: length is adequate (2001 chars "readable prose size"), article created recently (20 December), no policy concerns, hook is interesting and well formatted, QPQ done, no image to review. The referenced source reads "the play was cleaned up and de-ethnicized by Hollywood in 1938." There might be more out there to expand on this, in terms of anti-semitic undertones, but that is not really needed for this DYK submission. Gaff (talk) 02:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
The second paragraph under Writing Career needs at least one cite, per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 10:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Good point. It is easily fixable. (I will leave it up to somebody else to fix it). The reference can be found in the last column of the NYT obit (subscription needed, which I have if somebody needs me to do the leg work). All is there except the semi-autobiographical aspect of Hellman's writing, which is easily referenced as well. Once those issues are addressed, should by GTG. Sorry I missed this, but I am relatively new with DYK reviews. Overall, the article could use tighter sourcing. Gaff (talk) 11:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
