Social Register Drops Vanderbilt From 1947 List
New York officials reveal the 1947 social register excludes Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and several Vanderbilts and Andrews brides. Alfred, a Turf Club leader, faces outsider status while George Vanderbilt remains listed. The piece notes social ranks and past removals, with trial reports unrelated to the register. Gloria Vanderbilt and Betsy Roosevelt figures are referenced among former insiders banished in prior years. Mary Drew of Paterson faces trial for stabbing a former Navy man. Elmer Drew accompanies her.
