GEORGE ADE. AQS: "George Ade/May 25 - 1910", 5x2½ lined
sheet. In full: "In uplifting, get underneath." In 1910, Ade
published I Remember Him When: A Hoosier Fable Dealing With the Happy Days of
Away Back Yonder. Humorist, journalist, author and playwright George Ade
(1866-1944) began writing for the "Chicago Morning News" (which later became the
"Chicago Record") in 1890, penning the column, "Stories of the Streets and of
the Town". An admirer of Mark Twain, Ade, like his hero, focused on the
"average" man and the commonplace, and he made distinctive use of the
American language. His book, Fables in Slang (1899), made
extensive use of the American colloquial vernacular and was typical of his
genial satire. Credited as being the first modern American humorist, Ade
also wrote the first American play about football. His plays include
Artie, The College Widow and The Fair Co-ed, and Ade's long
list of writings include The Sigma Chi Creed (1887), Forty Modern
Fables (1901), In Babel: Stories of Chicago (1903), Verses and
Jingles (1911), Ade's Fables (1914) and One Afternoon with Mark
Twain (1939). Slightly soiled. Fine condition.
