"Drunkards hold forth the trail to Salvation; the recommendation of sycophants is undefined; fraudulent lecturers provide fake initiations; guileful impostors declare psychic powers; loquacity and eloquence go as knowledge. The smug raise profanity; the proletariat ideas the dominion; kings turn into paupers; the butcher and assassin develop into leaders of guys; unscrupulous self-seekers upward thrust to excessive place. The Masters of the excessive Tantras stray like canine within the streets and their faithless errant scholars roam like lions within the jungle.

Among the characters are “two great opera-stars,” who cannot agree which of them should sing first, leading to “harmony distinctly à la Stravinsky”; a “feature-film star of the first magnitude” who marries into the aristocracy; a “famous man-modiste” in a relationship with his mannequin; and a “leading lady who insists on hitching her wagon to a male star” (“Mysterious Marriages,” 66, 67).

Yet her career was highly successful: she published in the most prestigious American magazines, and her theater and book columns were popular and influential. Her first poetry collection, Enough Rope (1926), made the best seller lists, an almost unprecedented achievement for a book of verse, and her next volume, Sunset Gun (1928), followed suit.
