Original publisher of this book, no indication of printing. Tight, clean, flat, square, sharp anc crisp book in DJ missing back flap, with chips, nicks and tears. Harvey Earl Wilson (May 3, 1907 ? January 16, 1987) was an American journalist, gossip columnist, and author, perhaps best known for his 6-day a week syndicated column It Happened Last Night. Earl Wilson, saloon editor for the New York Post, brings to the people who go to bed at a decent hour an account of the doings of those who don't. His beat covers any place with a liquor license, his acquaintance includes the most outstanding members of Booze Who, Actor's Equity, the Musician's Union, and-- well, there's the sweater-girl taxidermist. In this preview of New York night life every bright light winks at him, every theatrical star lets down her hair and confides her most eccentric whim. Every curve, every waggish interview is recorded here with a wayward charm that only those who blossom after dark can recapture. "In crazy cockeyed New York everything happens-- especially now," says Wilson. And it all happens between these covers. Hilarious, with lots of anecdotes about stars of the time that i haven't heard elsewhere, including interviews with Carole Landis, Veronica Lake, Katharine Hepburn, etc.
