Man on the Flying Trapeze is the first biography in decades -- and the only accurate one -- of the beloved cinematic curmudgeon and inimitable comic genius W. C. Fields. Simon Louvish brilliantly sifts through evidence of Fields's own self-creation to illuminate the vaudeville world from which Fields sprang and his struggles with studios and censors to make his hilarious films-in the process confirming suspicions (yes, he did drink) and confounding them (he doted on his grandchildren). "One of the best movie biographies to come along in quite some time. . . . A] book to cherish."--Film Review " Man on the Flying Trapeze] nicely regales us with many vaudevillian stories. . . . Louvish does a heroic job."--Katharine Whittemore, New York Times Book Review "A rapturous, giddy, and irrepressible book. . . . Let us be clear: this is a delight, a marvel of research . . . and a superb argument for the case that William Claude Dukenfield was, and is, the greatest comic the movies have given us."--David Thomson "At last 'the Great Man' (as Fields called himself, accurately) has a great biography."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Binding Type: Paperback

The Go to Paper Towel Holder
Color: Warm Gold
Ivilon Countertop Paper Towel Stand Review
I recently added the Ivilon Countertop Paper Towel Stand to my kitchen, and I couldn't be more pleased with its performance and appearance. Here's why this stand stands out:
Sturdy Construction: The Ivilon Countertop Paper Towel Stand boasts an impressively sturdy construction. It's designed to hold up well against the daily wear and tear of a busy kitchen. The base is weighted, ensuring that the stand stays in place and doesn't tip over even when pulling off paper towels with one hand.
Durability: Durability is a key feature of this paper towel stand. Made with high-quality materials, it shows no signs of wear even after prolonged use. The finish remains intact, and the stand continues to function flawlessly, making it a reliable addition to any kitchen.
True Champagne Bronze Finish: One of the standout features of this stand is its true champagne bronze finish. The color is rich and elegant, adding a touch of sophistication to the countertop. It blends beautifully with various kitchen decors, from modern to traditional, making it a versatile choice for any style.
Final Thoughts: In summary, the Ivilon Countertop Paper Towel Stand is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a combination of functionality and aesthetics. Its sturdy construction, durability, and beautiful champagne bronze finish make it a top pick for enhancing your kitchen's organization and style. I highly recommend this stand for those looking for a reliable and stylish paper towel holder.

Looks and Works great ,,,!
Color: Warm Gold
Out of the box great looking paper towel holder, matches our Honey Bronze cabinet hardware perfectly, it feels solid, well weighted,,,,but what sets this apart is how easy it is to tear towels off the roll,,,not sure how friction works so well on this but it does,,, unlike any of our other past towel roll holders.
