Beschreibung:
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri and Jerome Myers. A girl comes into a small legacy, backs a friend's play with it, and discovers what New York does with money and enthusiasm. Wodehouse wrote this in 1922 in the middle of his Broadway years, and Sally is his best straight heroine — the comedy is intact, but she earns her way out, and the man she should not marry is drawn with real cruelty. Sixty plates of Ashcan School painting by John Sloan and Everett Shinn catch the city's bars, stages and rooftops in the very years Sally was learning what New York does with money and enthusiasm.
