New York notes on stage stars and society life
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne return to their Wisconsin farm built from an old chicken house. Debutantes face photographers in Park Avenue as society magazines publish candid images. Betty Compton, Miriam Hopkins, and others are noted for careers, injuries, or studios. Tag days favor women, Chicago fair hype rises, and tastes shift around Twenty-fifth Street scenes.
