...Hartford-born Critic Soby was a sophomore at Williams College when he bought his first work, a reproduction of a print by Maxfield Parrish showing a nude girl seated "on a swing over an Arcadian terrace." Next he turned to the "big three'' of the time: Picasso. Matisse and Derain. Much as he admired these artists, Soby was not a man to stick with the crowd for long.

The usual duchesses were there (Argyll, Westminster), the usual film stars (Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda), the usual sporty financiers (Serge Semenenko, Huntington Hartford). The room where Humphrey Bogart once fought a woman over a toy panda was awash with unfiltered nostalgia, as everyone had a last fond sit on the zebra-stripe upholstery. Beaming throughout was John Perona, El Morocco's owner, and Journal-American Society Columnist "Cholly Knickerbocker" (Igor Cassini) pronounced...
