He carried his cigarettes (regents, or some brand made especially for him) in a platinum case. If he smoked a pipe, he managed to avoid littering the landscape with ashes and dottle, and had no need for the usual paraphernalia of cleaners, tampers, and a messy tobacco pouch. Things came easy to him, money, adventure, women. But he did make things easier for lady luck, thanks to his incguity and wit. He enjoyed his success in opulent surroundings, wearing tasteful, expensive, perfect clothing like a second skin. He was the Debonair - a rather specialized model from the Thirties, now obsolete. You can still see the likes of him in old movies, which is where entertainment historians James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke caught him Their charming new book, The Debonairs, probes eight leading men of the Thirties who most perfectly defined the Debonair manner, morality and method. Their careers, films, lives and personalities emerge in vivid detail."ABOUT THE AUTHORS:James Robert Parish, over the 1970's established himself as the foremost chronicler of Hollywood's Golden Era.
