BEATON REPORTING ON SOCIAL LIFE IN NEW YORK IN 1949
BEATON
(Sir Cecil, 1904-1980, Photographer & Designer)
Fine Autograph Letter in pencil, Signed to “Dearest Ava”, Lady Waverley, signed “Cecil”
(1896-1974, wife of Sir John Anderson, Viscount Waverley) saying that he has “tried many shops for your address book but nothing nice to be found after the Christmas storm had emptied every quarter, now however, I have bought one from Bergdorf Goodman. It isn’t really a good one, but may do, & I will bring it over when I arrive mid February. It has been rather a dull winter here - in comparison to London there is an orgy of glitter, food & excitement but no one is really content - New Yorkists very bored by their... existence yet unsure of the future & so chary of spending money. It is a very different atmosphere & it is quite remarkable to find how economical & thrifty most people have become - a semi slump, though nothing quite so dramatic as a slump, in the book cinema & theatre world. Men’s clothes reduced - ‘slashing sales’. Very... Play, Only Martita Hunt in the Folle de Chaillot is outstanding - a lovely imaginative play unspoilt by a poor production - I go to Philadelphia tomorrow to see ‘the Death of a Salesman’ which is supposed to be a beautiful play. The Sitwells are a big success & getting large sums for their lecture tours. Randolph C & newly wed also on circuit - also Evelyn Waugh & his wife... about to join the ranks of lecturers...”, 4 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, The Plaza Hotel, New York heaaded paper, 26th January
