Billy Rose--illustrated by dali


Here is a book I bought off of ebay and received in mail yesterday. It was written by a cabaret owner in NYC and illustrated by Dali. I decided to research the writer and find out about him as I am a NYC history buff. He seems to be a producer and and a writer and lyricist of some renown. He was worth 42 million when he died. He wrote the lyrics for me and my shadow although they say that he was more known for promoting the songs and using this to get a co- credit as lyricist. (at least according to wikipedia) When he died he left his left no money to his estranged sisters. Another morsel of New York history...
