Tola Mankiewiczówna. Jak za dawnych lat
Ryszard Wolański
Była autentyczną gwiazdą II Rzeczpospolitej. Choć jej artystyczny rodowód sięga opery, to jednak rewia, kabaret, musical, piosenka, radio i przede wszystkim film stały się jej pasją i sensem życia. Tola Mankiewiczówna rozkręcała polski show-biznes. Wchodziła do tego świata świetnie przygotowana, znakomicie wykształcona. Nie czekała na swojego odkrywcę. W tym nowym, rodzącym się szaleństwie zwanym kulturą masową była artystką w pełni ukształtowaną, świadomą swojej pozycji i roli, jaką miała odegrać. W okresie międzywojennym tak naprawdę odnajdujemy wszystko to, czym żyje dzisiejszy świat rozrywki. I może właśnie tym trzeba tłumaczyć jej nieobecność na miarę talentu i dorobku na powojennej polskiej scenie i w filmie. W pełni wolnej Polski nie doczekała. Ludowa ojczyzna nie umiała, może nie chciała, a może po prostu nie była przygotowana do tego, aby dla gwiazdy tego formatu stworzyć odpowiednią oprawę i repertuar godne jej statusu i talentu.
Talbot Mundy
Guards, go out! he ordered. Twelve men went out one by one from the house he had left. They seemed to feel more warm than Brown did, because they fell into the sword of Brown. In this nameless sanatorium there was no flag, and no flag was there, so the sword, without her nail, performed duties, pointing down to the ground as the totem pole of the empire. Brown was stuck there, like the Boanerges sandals, and there he stayed from the sunrise to the sunset, so that he would be replaced by whoever dared to do it, at his peril.

Hal G. Evarts

Herbert George Wells
Considered one of Wells most successful attempts at a social novel in the vein of Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray, Wellss tale is a panoramic view of an unravelling society. A semi-autobiographical satire of Edwardian advertising and patent-medicines. The story follows the life of a young man, George, and his Uncle Edward. Edward invents an elixir called TONO-BUNGAY and hires his nephew George to help build the company. The medicine becomes a huge commercial success, causing George to reflect on the sickness at the heart of a society that lets itself be so easily duped. He begins to search for a new order to replace the old one, a quest that leads him to dangerous aeronautical experiments. At the end of the novel, George sails down the River Thames to the open sea, toward the hopeful new world that awaits him.
Thorne Smith
Thorne Smith best-remembered for humorous novels, many turning on some fantastic plot device which thrusts the protagonist into grotesque predicaments, often via unwitting transformation. The 1926 publication of Topper brought the author immediate acclaim. Elegant, fun-loving George and Marion Kerby are the toast of the town, until they wreck their flashy car and discover theyve become, well, ghosts. Making the best of a bad situation, they decide that being dead is the perfect opportunity to liven up stuffy Cosmo Topper. The capricious ghosts make it their mission to rescue the law-abiding, mild-mannered bank manager from the staid summer of suburban Sundays that is his life. With their ectoplasmic reappearances and whimsically insane actions, they leave Topper, and anyone else who crosses their path, in a whirlwind of discomfiture and delight.
