Tracye4d2055c1ec04bf92575642aae6698bc52f8f12a Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (do they, really, now?), is by Anita Loos and from the press of Boni & Liveright.

This little volume from the pen of Moviedom's infant author prodigy—she was writing scenarios for D. W. Griffith, we are advised, when she was only 13—is jazzy enough to suit the Sultan of Jazzaria himself.
