" The expression is explained in the opening of Thieves ' Nights ( 1929 ): " Here ... were seemingly the same hawkers ... selling the same goods ... here too was the confusion, the babble of tongues of many lands, the restless, shoving throng containing faces and features of a thousand racial castes, and last but not least, here on Halsted and Maxwell streets, Chicago, were the same dirt, flying bits of torn paper, and confusion that graced the junction of Middlesex and Whitechapel High streets far across the globe.

" The most successful single was " Crazy Crazy Nights ", charting in five countries, and the least successful was " Turn On the Night " charting only in the UK, where it reached # 41.

In addition to his 200 covers for Film Fun, Bolles painted at least 300 more for spicy pulps, including Breezy Stories, Pep and New York Nights.

In the 1970s, a harp was common in popular music, and can be heard in such hits as Cher's " Dark Lady ", the intro of " Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves ", and " Boogie Nights " by Heatwave.

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryār ( from, meaning " king " or " sovereign ") and his wife Scheherazade ( from, possibly meaning " of noble lineage ") and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves.

This is entitled The Arabian Nights ' Entertainment-the first known use of the common English title of the work.

While the great popularity of Antoine Galland ’ s Mille et Une Nuits ( The Arabian Nights ) contributes, as do the Bible and the Qu ’ ran, to the general ambiance of oriental subjects, in fact it has almost nothing in common with the Lettres persanes.
