Shanty Irish

Jim Tully (1886-1947) was a vagabond, pugilist, and an American writer known as the most-hated man in Hollywood for his free-lance, an often unflattering, writings about celebrities. The New York World said "with its tales of brawls and battles, of drinking contests in the good old days in Ohio, Shanty Irish has all the imagery, the realism, the virile characterization of Beggars of Life."
