| Irvin S. Cobb, new member of Metro's literary staff, needs little introduction
to the American public. A reporter who covered every story from a baseball
game to a murder, Mr. Cobb found plenty to write about and succeeded in
getting all of it written. He is one of the best known special feature writers
in the newspaper world, because of his indomitable sense of humor. He is
particularly noted among newsgatherers for his work in writing up the famous
Thaw trial while the public will long cherish "Speaking of Operations,"
"Local Color," "Those Times and These," and other stories.
Mr. Cobb was born in Paducah, KY., and grew to the stature of managing editor
of the Paducah News-Democrat before leaving his native city. |
