Description: Now almost impossible to find, this is the March 1929 number of the NY Columbia Jester: The Laughing Lion, published by Columbia University. There's a faint previous owner's name in ink at the very upper tip of the front wrapper. See photos for some random page reproductions and the back cover, which is adorned by golfing great Walter Hagen, on the take for Lucky Strike Cigarettes, better than candy, and no throat irritation or coughing! The NY Stock Market crashed six months after the appearance of this number. Some highlights I find include: A great color cover, Gold Diggers, by former Columbia Art Student's League veteran and at this date youthful artist and illustrator (1897-1963) R. John Holmgren. Inside: Poems, fictions, humorous vignettes, and reports of all kinds on student life at the university, diverse advertisements, art works, drama and movie reviews, etc. includes a review of the original film, appropriate for this market-crashing year, of "The Wolf of Wall Street," and others like the humorous dilemma presented in the early adapted for sound movie, "Red Hot Speed," etc.
