193215829New York: The Macaulay Company. Good in Good dj. c.1932. Reprint see note. Hardcover. Good only book is worn and moderately soiled at page edges both hinges weak rear due to removed endpaper; jacket worn at edges and corners quarter-sized chip at top rear hinge taking part of the title with it soiling and scuffing to rear panel. The story of a brothel in Northern Germany where "fashionable women came to sight-see and sip champagne and fashionable men were frequent callers." The book is structured as a series of chapter-vignettes about each of the nine women who work there this being the joint's m.o.: "There were only nine girls never more and all of them beautiful all of them from different countries". You've got Natachia Russian Esther from Palestine Hahlihla from Morocco Frankie "the vivacious American girl" Fatima Arab father/Syrian mother Paulette French Lotte German "whose bourgeois appearance was contradicted by her store of strange desires and sadistic impulses" Raquel Spanish -- and "the newcomer the shy delicate-featured girl from Budapest who was to cause a strange turmoil in the house of Madame Antonia." The author was an actress and occasional playwright who appeared in the original Broadway production 1924 of "What Price Glory" as Charmaine the role played in the famous silent film by Renee Adoree The reason I state the edition as "Reprint" is that the book appears to have been published by Liveright in 1932; there's no indication on this Macaulay edition of any prior printing but then again Macaulay was a little slipshod about such matters. It's worth noting however that several of the books advertised on the rear jacket panel were in fact 1933 publications. . The Macaulay Company hardcover books
