pdf (321 pages/62MB), with thanks to the original sharer
Women wandering from
wicked to wanton orgy on the tuxed arms of vainglorious males of malevolent
beauty, in a moneyed, perfumed world haunted by the specters of Drink, Dope and
Debauchery, Insanity, Suicide, and Murder. While in the Sodom-Gomorrah suburbs,
the Lavender Swamp, ways of sinning took place that were certainly weirder, it was
hinted, than fornication and adultery. The straphangers got their three-cents-worth.
It is true that from the time it became the Motion Picture Capital of the
World, shady characters descended on boom-town Hollywood like swarms of moths
drawn to a searchlight. Two-bit gangsters, 'leggers, pushers, hard-sell swindlers,
blackmailers, burglars, gross and petty extortionists, all manner of ultrakinky
sex freaks, dummy-stock speculators, crank cultists, dollar astrologists, fake
mediums and epicene evangelists, phony healers, crooked fortune tellers and parasitic
"psychoanalysts." All of them fluttered graspingly about the edges of
the charmed circle.
