10 Question Average Common Bond Trivia Questions

1. Which play (1922), motion picture (1928, 1946) and radio programme (1942-1945) was about the marriage of an Irish Catholic girl and a Jewish man?

From Quiz
In Pursuit of the Wily Common Bond, No. 1

Answer: Abie's Irish Rose

Every production of Anne Nichols' play, "Abie's Irish Rose" evoked complaints from various quarters. Neither Jewish organizations nor Roman Catholic organizations responded well to what was perceived as a "mixed marriage." Yet the play ran on Broadway from 1922 to 1927 and enjoyed two revivals: 1937 and 1954. The movie gave rise to an important case in copyright law, Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corp., 45 F.2d 119 (2d Cir. 1930), written by Judge Learned Hand. The court held that copyright does not extend to stock characters.

2. Which noted Mexican muralist did Frida Kahlo marry twice?

From Quiz Sporty Common Bond

Answer: Diego Rivera

While in her teens, Frida Kahlo was in an accident in which the bus she was on hit a street trolley. The pain she suffered in that accident is a theme in many of her paintings.

3. What is the name of the 1992 movie directed by Robert Redford?

From Quiz Afterwords

Answer: A River Runs Through It

"A River Runs Through It" is a 1992 film directed by Robert Redford and starring Brad Pitt. It begins with the story of the Maclean brothers, sons of a minister, and their life in rural Montana. The other choices are also directed by Robert Redford: "The Horse Whisperer" (1998), "Ordinary People" (1980) and "Quiz Show" (1994).

4. Who was the American librarian who was responsible for the system of library classification?

From Quiz A Novel Idea

Answer: Melville Dewey

Inventor and educator Melville "Melvil" Dewey (1851-1931) was responsible for developing the Dewey Decimal System to categorize books.
