Sinning In Hollywood: Los Angeles And The Beaches Houston, Bob; Willis, Fritz Us History

Scarce, frenetically alliterative good-time guide to Hollywood starlets, shows and showgirls for servicemen on leave from a world war. 1943 Hollywood has something for every soldier, sailor, and Marine, whether alligators, hep-cats, jitterbugs, highbrows, lowbrows, drunkards, surf-fishes, or sand-Adonises; lovers of the "odorous smoke of the weed" and the naughty puppet shows of the Turnabout Theatre or fans of Betty Grable and Hedy Lamarr; seekers after Book Row's "Progressive Literature for Progressive People" and the sizzling violins and beer of the Hofbrau Gardens or devotees of the world-famous operatic singing waiters of impressario Bert Rovere. Something for everyone, that is, except "corn-fed ickies with inferiority complexes." Nobody likes them. 5.5'' x 4''. Original pictorial wrappers. Illustrated by Willis in black and white. 64 pages. Light edgewear, a few tiny holes to upper margins of pages 33-34.
