George Givot
edit... that when George Givot played Mae West's character's black lover in the 1931 Broadway play The Constant Sinner, producers had him remove his wig after each performance to show the audience he was white?

- I think the hooks would be less cumbersome, and the meaning would be unaffected, if you removed "character's". Edwardx (talk) 10:29, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- It's also one way to make sure the hooks are not over the DYK maximum of 200, since they are currently 202 and 204 characters, respectively, and thus too long. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- I thought that "that" wasn't counted. Anyhoo, I'd rather just delete the play title instead.

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The ALT2 hook is cited to a reliable source, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:38, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
