Only 4 triple stumpers in this whole game:

ERNEST HEMINGWAY ($800) Hemingway looked back on his life as a young writer in 1920s Paris in this memoir

BROADWAY DEBUTS ($1600) In his first 2 Broadway roles, he played Eugene Jerome in the premieres of “Brighton Beach Memoirs” & “Biloxi Blues”

THE REST IS HISTORY ($400) Our listeners have to deal with some Britishisms: In 1790, jailers were gobsmacked to find that Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette had scarpered. They were trying to get to the protection of Marie’s brother, Leopold II, of this country; but they were captured & really copped it

RELIGIOUS WORDS & PHRASES ($1600) Louis XIV was christened “Dieudonne”, meaning this, so he really thought he was this alliterative phrase
