Here is a very funny profile of George Jean Nathan (1882 – 1958), one of the more prolific essayists and reviewers of all things dramatic and literary during the Twenties. At the time of this printing he was serving as the Co-Editor of the American magazine The Smart Set (along side his pal H.L. Mencken) while contributing occasional drama reviews to Vanity Fair. This article will furnish you with a very long list of Nathan’s likes and dislikes, which, in fact, comprise 99% of the profile.
The image above was snapped in 1941.
Later in life, Nathan would wed Mary Pickford – read about her here…
