CHAPTER 4 "FIVE AND TEN CENT l.u.s.tS AND DREAMS".
Marion Davies, Charlie Chaplin, Cecil Demille, Gloria Swanson, Lillian Gish and Eleanor Glyn are among many Hollywood luminaries who wrote memoirs, although those of the professional writers like Anita Loos and the journalist Adela Saint John are generally more polished and accessible. Kenneth Anger"s sensationalist Hollywood Babylon Hollywood Babylon dishes the dirt on Hollywood scandals and Marjorie Rosen"s 1973 dishes the dirt on Hollywood scandals and Marjorie Rosen"s 1973 Popcorn Venus Popcorn Venus explores women"s role in the movies. I used Stuart Oderman"s 1994 biography of Fatty Arbuckle for my account of his rise and fall. explores women"s role in the movies. I used Stuart Oderman"s 1994 biography of Fatty Arbuckle for my account of his rise and fall.
CHAPTER 5 "MY G.o.d! HOW THE MONEY ROLLS IN!".
Journalist William Allen White provides the best public portrait of the troubled Warren Harding, while rival Washington hostesses Evalyn McLean (Father Struck it Rich, 1936) and Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Crowded Hours, 1933) give insights into his and Florence"s private lives. Two books published in 1998 were also helpful: a biography of Edward Doheny (Dark Side of Fortune by Margaret Davis) and, especially, by Margaret Davis) and, especially, Florence Harding Florence Harding by Carl Anthony. by Carl Anthony.
CHAPTER 6 "THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA IS BUSINESS".
While I highly recommend Stephen Fox"s history of advertising in America (The Mirror Makers, 1984), Robert Lacey"s Ford: The Men and the Machine Ford: The Men and the Machine (1986) and Vincent Curcio"s 2000 biography of Walter Chrysler, without doubt the best book on smugly industrious middle-cla.s.s America is Sinclair Lewis"s brilliant 1922 novel, (1986) and Vincent Curcio"s 2000 biography of Walter Chrysler, without doubt the best book on smugly industrious middle-cla.s.s America is Sinclair Lewis"s brilliant 1922 novel, Babbitt Babbitt.
CHAPTER 7 FEAR OF THE FOREIGN.
Sinclair Lewis, a pa.s.sionate defender of Sacco and Vanzetti, also wrote a semi-fictionalized account of their ordeal, Boston Boston (1928). Another of their defenders, the novelist John Dos Pa.s.sos, collected information for their defense in (1928). Another of their defenders, the novelist John Dos Pa.s.sos, collected information for their defense in Facing the Chair Facing the Chair (1927). Sacco and Vanzetti"s letters were collected in 1927 and republished with a good summary of the trials, evidence and its later ramifications by Penguin Cla.s.sics in 1997. (1927). Sacco and Vanzetti"s letters were collected in 1927 and republished with a good summary of the trials, evidence and its later ramifications by Penguin Cla.s.sics in 1997.
CHAPTER 8 THE KU KLUX KLAN REDUX.
Henry Fry"s 1922 expose of the Ku Klux Klan"s resurgence is still fascinating, though fuller and clearer accounts of the Klan"s rise and fall in the 1920s can be found in Wyn Wade"s 1987 The Fiery Cross The Fiery Cross and Nancy Maclean"s 1994 and Nancy Maclean"s 1994 Behind the Mask of Chivalry. Behind the Mask of Chivalry. I found Kathryn Blee"s 1991 I found Kathryn Blee"s 1991 Women in the Klan Women in the Klan, a detailed exploration of the role of women in the Klan, particularly interesting.
CHAPTER 9 IN EXILE.
Harry Crosby"s extraordinary and vivid diaries (published as Shadows of the Sun Shadows of the Sun in 1977) and Caresse"s later memoirs ( in 1977) and Caresse"s later memoirs (The Pa.s.sionate Years, 1955) are their own testimony. Janet Flanner"s articles as the New Yorker New Yorker"s Paris correspondent (collected in 2003 as Paris was Yesterday Paris was Yesterday) give a flavor of how Americans experienced Paris in the 1920s, as does Amanda Vaill"s wonderful 1998 Everybody Was So Young Everybody Was So Young, about Gerald and Sara Murphy. In fiction, Kay Boyle"s 1934 My Next Bride My Next Bride, though not much of a read, is interesting as a resentful roman a clef about the Crosbys to whom she had once been close, while Ernest Hemingway"s 1927 The Sun Also Rises The Sun Also Rises is the ultimate novel about Americans in Paris. is the ultimate novel about Americans in Paris.
CHAPTER 10 THE NEW YORKER.
Malcolm Cowley"s 1934 Exile"s Return Exile"s Return gives a good flavor of the literary world in 1920s America, as do old copies of the periodicals of the day-the gives a good flavor of the literary world in 1920s America, as do old copies of the periodicals of the day-the Sat.u.r.day Evening Post Sat.u.r.day Evening Post, the American Mercury American Mercury, Vanity Fair Vanity Fair, Harpers Harpers, the Nation Nation and of course the and of course the New Yorker New Yorker. Harold Ross"s ex-wife Jane Grant (Ross, the New Yorker and Me, 1968) and his employee and friend James Thurber (The Years with Ross, 1959) both wrote excellent accounts of their lives with him and the New Yorker New Yorker.
CHAPTER 11 "YES, WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY".
In their different ways, the two best journalistic accounts of the Scopes trial are Joseph Wood Krutch"s 1962 More Lives than One More Lives than One and Henry Mencken"s bitterly funny articles for the and Henry Mencken"s bitterly funny articles for the Baltimore Evening Sun Baltimore Evening Sun. The 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning Summer for the G.o.ds: The Scopes Trial and America"s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion Summer for the G.o.ds: The Scopes Trial and America"s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion by Edward Larson is a fantastic modern retelling of the events. by Edward Larson is a fantastic modern retelling of the events.
CHAPTER 12 THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS.
Lindbergh told the story of his flight with pa.s.sion and eloquence in 1927 with We We and in 1953 with and in 1953 with The Spirit of St. Louis The Spirit of St. Louis, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1954. For an overview of his life, Scott Berg"s 1998 biography is unbeatable.
CHAPTER 13 THE BIG FIGHT.
Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Georges Carpentier all wrote their own life stories, although I also used Paul Gallico"s 1938 memoirs, Farewell to Sport Farewell to Sport. The best recent accounts of Dempsey"s rivalry with Tunney are Bruce Evensen"s 1996 When Dempsey Fought Tunney When Dempsey Fought Tunney and an article in the and an article in the Journal of American Studies Journal of American Studies 19 by E. J. Gorn, "The Mana.s.sa Mauler and the Fighting Marine." I was also delighted to find that most of Dempsey"s fights (as well as footage of Charles Lindbergh) can be found on Youtube. 19 by E. J. Gorn, "The Mana.s.sa Mauler and the Fighting Marine." I was also delighted to find that most of Dempsey"s fights (as well as footage of Charles Lindbergh) can be found on Youtube.
CHAPTER 14 CRASH.
Neal Bas...o...b..s 2003 Higher Higher traces the race between the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings to be the tallest building in the world. Although Maury Klein"s 2001 traces the race between the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings to be the tallest building in the world. Although Maury Klein"s 2001 Rainbow"s End: The Crash of 1929 Rainbow"s End: The Crash of 1929 is excellent, nothing can surpa.s.s John Kenneth Galbraith"s 1961 is excellent, nothing can surpa.s.s John Kenneth Galbraith"s 1961 The Great Crash The Great Crash.
