As the long perfect Indian summer ends, there is one final party to attend. Only the Wall Street Crash takes out more than stocks, and all that is known will soon be questioned.

Other people and subjects include: Bill Wright, Lil Cobina Wright Jr, Eve Curie, Prince Serge Obolensky, Ava Alice Astor, Doris Duke, Walter Damrosch, reversals of fortune, boom to bust, Waldorf-Astoria two hotels, Doris Duke, Barbara Hutton, Jakey Astor, Vincent Astor, Louise Van Alen, Huntington Hartford, Jimmy Cromwell, Alice Vanderbilt, butlers Bruce & Fred, money problems both too much & losses, and GameStop stock trades.
