Jerome Gambit: How Many Times Have We Heard This Kind of Story?

You never can tell where the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) will show up next... Or where it already has arrived.

Consider Chess magazine, volume 3, issue 39, 1937 (page 4) where readers learn of a club player who

...light-heartedly embarks on the Jerome Gambit against the Club's Board No. 1 player. Unfortunaterly, however, the latter is apparently ignorant of the correct reply moves as given in the Secretary's "Chess Openings" text book, and the result is catastrophic - for the Secretary!

Ah, yes, how many times have we heard this kind of story?
