Mahatma Kane Jeeves

Ever see the name Mahatma Kane Jeeves in the credits of a W.C. Fields movie? Fields adopted this strange sounding name, as well as the names of Otis Criblecoblis and Charles Bogle, when he didn’t want to receive credit for writing his own material. “Mahatma Kane Jeeves” is meant to suggest an aristocrat who says to his butler when walking out, “My hat, my cane, Jeeves.”
