Crime Does Not Pay by Burt Frohman

As I went through Crime Does Not Pay looking for stories written by Robert Bernstein, jotting down a few stylistic indications for other stories in passing, I found some Burt Frohman quirks that led to a good handful of his scripts on the title.

The tiers here are from different pages of "Partners in Corruption" in #119; it and #74are the issues known to contain Frohman stories according to his records, as passed along, titles not given, in the Who's Who.

Rather surprisingly, I can't find any of the other known writers at Lev Gleason using "ya" for "you" as Frohman often does (tier 2). Once in a while he uses "Cut it" (tier 3), which is even more exclusive. A jumping-off point is an opening caption like Our story begins on ___... (tier 1), but beware; he shares Our story opens on ___... with Bernstein.

I'm expecting this to lead to other Frohman stories at Lev Gleason, on Crime and Punishment for one, of course, but also hoping it will lead to more of his stories at Ace and Atlas. Another run through CNDP itself is likely to turn up ones that I've missed the first time through.
