Supreme hostess Cobina Wright hosts a party to celebrate the Met opening of Deems Taylor’s new opera and Noel Coward. It’s another fabulous party, but everything seems to be an endless loop as things change while still staying the same. Other people and subjects include: January – February 1931, Bill Wright, Algonquin Roundtable, George du Maurier, Owen Johnson, Dorothy Parker, Peter Pan, Daphne du Maurier (stories Rebecca & The Birds), Alfred Hitchcock, Lucrezia Bori, John Barrymore, Svengali, JM Barrie, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Disney Fantasia, Russian ballet, Vaslav Nijinsky & Rite of Spring, Stravinsky, Lily James, Drew Barrymore, Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Freddie Highmore, and HBO’s Gilded Age & fortunes related to stories.
