Rich New York youth and Paris restaurant lore headline city society
Billy Leeds, New York’s reportedly wealthiest young man, balances Broadway and Park Avenue high society while traveling in style on his yacht Flying Fox. Willis Morgan, longtime Paris restaurateur, dies, ending a chapter in the city’s American dining scene. Dex Fellowes, circus press agent, dominates headlines as a living legend of newspapers.
