Hollywood Producer's Art Deco Penthouse: 1"=1 ft. roombox featured in Jan. 2017 "Dolls House Magazine"
The year is 1929 and Art Deco Is all the rage in both the U. S. and Europe. Our Hollywood producer’s penthouse is the setting for what was evidently the seduction of yet another young “Hollywood Hopeful”, recently arrived in Tinsel Town and dreaming of stardom. No sooner had he offered her a part in his next picture, then she began shedding her clothes.
Art Deco flourished in the 1920s and 1930s. However, everything came to a screeching halt with the Great Depression, followed by World War II. Today some of this county’s best Art Deco is found in our old movie theaters with New York’s Radio City Music Hall being a prime example.
A glance at what the producer’s reading gives us a clue as to what he might be optioning for his next project. In 1929 some bestselling books were Eric de Remarque’s “All Quiet on the Western Front”, Edna Ferber’s “Cimarron”, William Faulkner’s “The Sound and the Fury”, Thomas Wolfe’s “Look Homeward Angel” and Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms”. All but “Look Homeward Angel” became films, although it wasn’t until 1955 that Twentieth Century Fox released “The Sound and the Fury”, a film bearing little resemblance to the novel.
