Snoot if You Must by Lucius Beebe, drawings by Rea Irvin (who did so much to give The New Yorker its look in its early days), 1943, 196 pp. Beebe was a celebrated purveyor of gossip in a column called This New York and a theater column, Stage Asides, both syndicated.

From the jacket copy:

"Snoot if You Must" is a sequence of vignettes and play-by-play accounts of persons, events, follies, and magnificences that have engaged his attention. Their common pattern is their concern for the gusty, the glamorous, and the hilarious, for personalities of bounce and few inhibitions."
