Gene Markey: Three New York Dramatic Critics

In 1923, Gene Markey caricatured three well-known New York drama critics, two of whom regularly sat at the Algonquin Round Table. The critics are Robert Benchley, Percy Hammond, and Alexander Woollcott. Hammond, here at center, is the one who does not dine at the Algonquin round Table. Come 1925, Alexander Woollcott would become an advisory editor to the fledgling New Yorker.
