He also penned Stanford Stories, in 1900, with author Will Irwin. He wrote several Bohemian Grove plays performed during midsummer jinks between 1902 and 1918. He was very much a member of Bohemian Club and literary circles during the early part of the century.
He entered broadcasting in his 60s, and was "Cheerio" on KGO-AM in the mid 1930s. He wrote "The Story of Cheerio" in 1936, and also authored, in 1940, "Cheerio's Book of Days; Comfort, Cheer and Encouragement for Every Day in the Year," a book of quotations for each day written under his radio name 'Cheerio.'"
