The three are: "Five Days" 1933; "Spendthrift" 1936; and "A Couple of Quick Ones" 1928. Hatch was a pretty big deal in his day who wrote nearly 30 books and at one time was considered pretty much on a par as a comic novelist with P.G. Wodehouse with whom his work was often compared -- and yet as of February 2010 he has no Wikipedia entry of his own. This was the first book publication of "Spendthrift" by the way which also appeared as a novelette in Red Book Magazine the same year and was the source for the 1936 Raoul Walsh-directed film of the same name a racetrack comedy starring a young Henry Fonda. .
