Frank offers his friend, Will Cuppy, some of his "Papal Blessing."

Frank's witty personality fit in well with other literaties and he became a regular at the Algonquin Club for the weekly roundtable luncheon. There he joined with the likes of James Thurber, Bennet Cerf, Dorothy Parker, Russell Crouse, and Monty Woolley, to name a few.

 

 

Katherine White, wife of E.B. "Andy" White wass an editor for the New Yorker and both Andy and Katherine became close friends of Frank's.

She also does not mince words in writing about her displeasure to mutual friend, Russell Crouse.
