Alvin Boretz Alvin Boretz (June 15, 1919 – July 22, 2010) was a prolific writer for stage, screen, radio, and television. With an estimated one thousand dramatic scripts to his credit, he contributed to the Golden Age of Television. Before television became popular, Boretz wrote for radio. In that medium, he honed his language skills and developed a flair for writing dialogue. Additionally, he became known for strong character development, a feature which—with the sensitive but forthright handling of themes such as divorce, mental retardation and suicide—distinguishes Boretz's critically acclaimed work. The comedian Lenny Bruce sent him a telegram after his "Armstrong Circle Theatre" production of "The Desperate Season" about the averted suicide of a college professor, thanking him for "the thrilling genius and poetry that exuded from" the play. In this same Golden Age of Television his script "The Trial of Poznan" won a Harcourt Brace award for best television play of 1957 and was published in a book called "Best Television Plays, 1957."

He wore a curly reddish blonde wig, and never spoke during performances (he blew a horn or whistled to communicate). He frequently used props such as a horn cane, made up of a lead pipe, tape, and a bulbhorn, and he played the harp in most of his films.

Shtick A shtick (Yiddish: שטיק‎ ) (or schtick) is a comic theme or gimmick. "Shtick" is derived from the Yiddish word "shtik" (שטיק), meaning "piece"; the closely related German word "Stück" has the same meaning. The English word "piece" itself is also sometimes used in a similar context. Another variant is "bits of business" or just "bits"; comic mannerisms such as Laurel and Hardy's fiddling with their ties, or one of them looking into the camera shaking his head while the other one would ramble on. A "shtick" can also refer to an adopted persona, usually for comedy performances, that is maintained consistently (though not necessarily exclusively) across the performer's career. In this usage, the recurring personalities adopted by Laurel and Hardy through all of their many comedy films (although they often played characters with different names and occupations) would qualify as their shtick. A comedian might maintain several different shticks of this sort, particularly if appearing in a variety show encouraging development of multiple characters, such as "Saturday Night Live".
