Damon Runyon. He is also popularily credited with gangsterized Cinderella yarn Pal Joey which was actually written by another writer. Pal Joey ignited the fad of stealing sets of hub caps as an initiation stunt. In the film, one character makes the crack that they are ( the purchase Price for Man"s redemption) which is a horrible analogy to the sacrifice of the Cross.

It was based on the stories of Damon Runyon. Concerns gangsters getting involved with an organization based on the Salvation Army. a number of Broadway shows poked fun at this ever-useful charity, including Major Barbara. I believe Runyon also did a modernized version of Cinderella where the crack ( sacrilegious) was made (that the purchase price of Man"s redemption was a set of hub caps) do not confuse with the cartoon ( In my Father"s Garage) which appeared in the December number of a Car Magazine in the sixties and reaked havoc with the Knights of Columbus. the cartoon showed the Christ child- older version not in the temple but in a garage with the caption mentioned and the punch line- There are Many Stalls! many indeed.
