✨I want to see my little boy✨

Decided to do a 17th century style portrait of baby Alfred. Arthur commissioned this one to show off the drum Alfred couldn’t just leave alone.

Inspiration for the drawing is below! I think it really suits Alfred’s energetic vibe!

ME AND MY DOG / YOUNG AMERICA

1915

Me and My Dog (later known as Young America) is a play by Fred Ballard, suggested by Pearl Franklin’s “Mrs. Darcy” stories. It was originally produced by George S. Cohan and Sam Harris, staged by Sam Forrest. The play featured Peggy Wood, Otto Kruger, and Jasper the dog. 

‘Me and My Dog’ is the story of Art Simpson and Jasper, a poor American boy and his faithful dog, who only have each other in a world which constantly imperils their liberty. Art's efforts to raise $2 for Jasper's license brings him conflict with the law, but he eventually proves his good intentions and they find a loving home with the Doray family.

The play opened at Atlantic City’s Apollo Theatre on July 12, 1915. Peggy Wood missed the Wednesday (July 14th) matinee due to her automobile breaking down in Lakewood, some 35 miles from Atlantic City. She returned by train just in time for the evening performance. 

Jasper the dog wore a $10,000 diamond collar for his walks on the world-famous Boardwalk. Jasper had met Presidents Taft and Wilson. 

How ‘Me and My Dog’ Became ‘Young America’

In Atlantic City, E.W. Dunn, press agent Cohen and Harris, admitted to himself that the current title was not one which would catch the public eye and the public moneys. He cast about for a proper substitution and finding none sought rest from his mental distress in the motion picture theatre across the way. In the film there is a scene in which mischievous boys tie a tin can to the tail of a dog. As this scene occurs there flashes upon the screen title 'Young America.' When the subtitle appeared Mr. Dunn jumped from his seat with the cry “That’s it!” and rushed from the movie theatre, leaving those within earshot in deep doubt as to what "it" was. But Mr. Dunn knew, and the success of the play may be attributed, partially at least, to the Interest and punch of the name, which was inspired by a film.

As Young America, Ballard’s play opened on Broadway on August 28, 1915 at the Astor Theatre (1537 Broadway at 45th Street). 

About the Astor: The theatre was built in 1906. From 1912 to 1916 it was managed by George M. Cohan and Sam Harris. The Shuberts managed the theatre until 1925, when it became a movie theater. In 1972, faulty air-conditioning forced it to close for good. It was demolished in 1982 (with four other theatres) and the Marriott Hotel and Marquis Theatre was built on the site.

Two boys and their dogs: Jasper and Pinto.  

JUDGE PALMER: "Hello, Washington! I suppose you were named after George Washington, weren't you?"  WASHINGTON WHITE: "No, sir. Booker."

“A new star has Broadway at his paws. The hero of 'Young America,' has nothing to say and nothing to wear, but without lines and without trousers he fairly fought his way to favor. Applause means nothing to this actor. Audiences may pound their hands to pieces before he will bow. At best it would be a bow-wow, for the hero of ‘Young America' is a dog.” ~ HEYWOOD BRAUN

“Jasper does not talk, but all the other vices of the stage are his. Dixie Taylor, the owner of the dog, assured us that Jasper was broken-hearted if an audience treated him coldly. He takes a curtain call now in ‘Young America’ and barks at one stage box, and then the other, with scrupulous impartiality.” ~ HEYWOOD BRAUN

On September 13th the play moved to the Gaiety Theatre (1547 Broadway at West 46th Street) 

About the Gaiety: Built in 1908, the venue was known as a house of hits until movies took over in 1926. A brief return to legit entertainment in 1931 and 1932 proved unsuccessful. By 1943, the Gaiety had been renamed the Victoria and transformed into a movie house. In 1982, it was another one of the theatres torn down to accommodate the new Marriott Hotel and Marquis Theatre.

The Broadway production of Young America closed on November 27, 1915 with 105 performances. A tour was launched starting with the Standard Theatre on 90th Street in Manhattan. The original company appeared - even Jasper!  But first...

“It is apparent by Jasper's attitude that he would gladly trade this medal off for a dog biscuit and consider that he had profited by the transaction.”

In 1918 there was a silent film version of the play starring Charles Everett Frohman (left) as Art. He was the nephew of theatrical impresario Charles Frohman and had appeared on the play’s road company. 

Seventeen years later, in 1932, a sound film version was released starring Spencer Tracy and Ralph Bellamy. Producer / director Frank Borzage’s son Raymond was featured. The film is not related to the 1942 patriotic film of the same name, although both featured Jane Darwell. 

The film opened at Atlantic City’s Lyric Theatre (Florida & Atlantic Avenues) on July 16, 1932.

Kon knows for a fact that Tim is being catfished.

He's been watching, and it's so painfully obvious.

Tim's sending money to some guy he met online, and Kon has read over his friend's shoulder the excuses this guy keeps giving.

He needs money to pay for a plane ticket, he needs money to pay customs, he got arrested and needs another plane ticket, he needs money to pay for a hyper-realistic disguise to get past customs, etc.

This dude keeps saying that he swears he'll pay Tim back plus interest, but that "customs" keeps holding onto the "package".

And Tim, the smartest dude he knows, keeps fucking falling for it. Tells this guy he doesn't have to pay him back at all.

So Kon maybe...oversteps.

He's gotten Bart and Cassie in on it, and they hold an intervention.

Tim?

Says it's a Bat thing and to stay out of it. Please.

Kon and the others very much intend to not stay out of it, and set to work hunting this catfisher down.

And he has a name to start with. He listened into one of the gross romance calls and finally, finally got a fucking name.

Bernard.

Meanwhile, Jason is just...having the shittiest time. What the actual fuck.

He finally got the physical evidence needed to nail the largest Trafficking gang in Gotham, when every single inconvenience that could ever occur decided to land on his head.

He hates asking for money, and he hates it even more that he has to ask Tim for money in that stupid code.

Bizarro and Artemis are too busy doing their own things to arrange a pickup, and Tim won't send his little not-boyfriend because of the whole "going into the Tower and beating Tim up" thing.

Apparently the punk-wannabe Super will try to make him into red paste on sight.

But anything is better than asking Bruce, so he'll suck it up.

Meanwhile, Bernard is very confused as to why he's being threatened by Superheroes in his own apartment.

But the weird stuff they're describing doesn't sound like Tim.

Clearly, they need the Conspiracy Board to organize their thoughts. Bernard is fantastic at the Conspiracy Board, and he starts to break out the red string.

They are so gonna solve this thing.
