As Time Goes By – Entertainment at the Judges Dinner
Those who have had the opportunity to attend a number of Judges Dinners probably have their favorite, although it is likely that we found each to have been enjoyable. Entertainment, of one form or another, has invariably played a role in contributing to this enjoyment over the years.
Long before any of us can remember, Judges Dinners featured live entertainment for the audience gathered at the Waldorf. Back in the 1920s and 1930s, the entertainment of choice was a play having some connection to patents. The originator of several of these plays was a patent lawyer-turned-playwright named Lawrence Langner.
