...circus party' given for Violinist and Mrs. Paul Kochanski by Mr. and Mrs. William May Wright in their apartment. Walter Damrosch, Josef Stransky, Efrem Zimbalist and George Gershwin took turns leading 'the world's greatest circus band.' Munching hot dogs and popcorn, sipping pink lemonade, we strolled among sideshow booths -'The Sword Swallower,' 'The Circassian Beauty,' 'The Fire-eater,' 'Mysteria, The World's Greatest Fortune Teller'-regaled by guest- clowns who under their disguises were clever creatures like Ethel Barrymore, Ina Claire, Beatrice Lillie, Eva Gauthier, Ruth...
