A reader recently wrote to the N.Y. Times asking to explain the difference between the Players Club, the Lambs Club and the Friars Club - all groups of theatrical persons from the entertainment business. George S. Kaufman, that acerbic wit from the Algonquin Round Table is alleged to have explained the difference thusly: "The Players are gentlemen trying to be actors, the Lambs are actors trying to be gentlemen, and the Friars are neither trying to be both."
