Broadway memories of nightlife and famous figures fade fast
Louis Sobol recounts a collage of Broadway and film memories from a chaotic era. He names Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Tamara de Lempicka, Rudy Vallee, George Gershwin, Lily Pons, Rudolph Valentino, Greta Garbo, and many others, linking stages, speakeasies, premieres, and public events. The piece laments fading glamour and aging spectacle, recalling first meetings with presidents and mob legends, and closes with a sly note on Joan Crawford.
