Goodness -- twelve venues to (potentially) visit, in one day. What a treat.

I do wish Wright's name wouldn't be used as an ingredient in a pun. "Walk Wright in" is a new one, and regrettable -- as I see it.

There's really no Wright or wrong in that. Sometimes, people just can't seem to help what they Wright down on paper. Other folks believe they have an inherent Wright to do such things. And, then there are those who treat this as almost a religious Wright. Years back I distinctly remember speaking on this very subject with a play-Wright, who told me that choosing whether or not to pun can be altogether fitting, proper and Wright!

"Wright" is bad enough. My maternal grandfather's name was "Grong."

Curious about the Charles E Roberts stable, I sought input. Pfeiffer ignores this project in the Monographs and again in Taschen. Storrer includes it, with this entry:
