→Development & background: (Added info about LCCN for The Iceman Cometh)
The "brick sandwich" on the Bar-fly's table is in reference to a circumvention of [[wikipedia:Raines law|Raines law]], a prohibition-era law outlawing the sale of alcohol on Sunday except for in hotels (the setting of both ''The Entertainment'' and Eugene O'Neill's [[wikipedia:The Iceman Cometh|The Iceman Cometh]]). Some bar owners would mock the law by serving a clay brick between two slices of bread, thus satisfying the minimal legal requirement of serving food.
The [http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/lem-doolittle/the-entertainment/paperback/product-21312732.html ''Paper and Ink''] version of the script is printed with a Library of Congress Card Number of '''57-6498''', which it shares with a published version of [https://lccn.loc.gov/57006498 The Iceman Cometh]. Of note, the LCCN listed is in a format that was in use before the year 2000. A modern printing would require the LCCN in a modern format, which in this case would be '''57006498'''.
