Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise?

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Will TV kill the theater? If the programs I have seen, save for “Kukla, Fran and Ollie,” the ball games and the fights, are any criterion, the theater need not wake up in a cold sweat.”
—Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)
