Description: Howard Teichmann SIGNED Smart Aleck 1976 Hardcover MISSING Dust Jacket Up for bids is this 1976 first edition hardcover version of Smart Aleck: The Wit, World, and Life of Alexander Woollcott, which was written AND signed by Howard Teichmann and is in GOOD condition while the dust jacket is MISSING (NOT a library book; NO reminder marks; NO punch holes). To those who knew Alexander Woollcett, he was literally larger than life. Harpo Marx once described him as something that got loose from the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. And Irma Selz, who sketched him, said he gave the impression of a great stuffed owl. But it was not just his formidable appearance that made Aleck a distinctive figure. For Woollcoot was a true American original.One fo the most charismatic personalities of his or any other time, Alexander Woollcott helped set the literary and theatrical standards of the nation from the 1920's through the early 1940's. A man of arsenic wit and impeccable taste, he served as a drama critic for The New York Times, founded the Algonquin Round Table, became radio's first superstar as the Town Crier, and was immortalized as Sheridan Whiteside in the now classic comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.
