SNOOT IF YOU MUST

by Lucius Beebe ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 22, 1943

A collection of pieces, long, short, down to bon mots, by the bright boy and luminary of the de luxe whose name is synonomous with caf‚ society. A ""worldly and carnal-minded reporter"" on anything from the old Empire Theatre to the Turkish Bath, Gertrude Stein's Four Saints in Three Acts to Hollywood premieres; lots of material on cafe society, the where and the who from ""21"" and E1 Morocco and The Stork to their frequenters, -- Noel Coward, the Grand Duchess Marie, Robert Benchley, and anybody who is anybody in a milieu where accomplishment counts more than blue blood or money. Bleeck's raffish Artists & Writers Club where the ""best minds and worst kidneys"" of the professions meet; fine foods and elegant restaurateurs, the cocktail circuit, Elsa Maxwell's balls, etc. etc. Smart stuff, definitely ""upper"", largely cosmopolitan.
