JMVintage specializes in books, magazines, and treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor......and other curiuos people. Text by Brendan Gill Photographs by Jerome Zerbe Happy Times is a social history unlike any other, compiled by Brendan Gill from an extraordinary private archive of fifty thousand photographs by Jerome Zerbe. For over forty years, Zerbe has crisscrossed the world in pursuit of festive occasions; here are five hundred of his best pictures-racy, impudent, amused - which amount to a novel composed by a camera and having for plot the playful hours of the young, the rich, the beautiful, and the celebrated. Caught in intimate, unpremeditated moments are Garbo enjoying a Russian Easter luncheon at Valentina's; Cary Grant helping Hedda Hopper move, hat by hat into a new house; the Duke of Windsor playing traps in Meyer Davis's band at the Homestead; Steve Reeves taking a shower in his many-colored briefs; Moss Hart climbing a coconut palm on Guam; Henry Luce clowning with ma Claire at the Waldorf; Howard Hughes lunching with Janet Gaynor at "21"; Gloria Swanson at a shipboard party giving her uncanny impersonation of Charlie Chaplin; Chaplin himself pretending to knock out the heavyweight boxer Max Baer; and Mrs. John Schiff doing the Big Apple. Here as well, unforgettably, are Mona Williams, Salvador Dali, Dorothy Parker, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Philip Johnson, Admiral Nimitz, Gene Tunney, Thomas Wolfe, Orson Welles, Robert Benchley, Jean Harlow, Gary Cooper, the John Hay Whitneys, among scores of gifted and famous figures. Zerbe is this country's first-and only-society photographer. For many years he was the official photographer for El Morocco and was instrumental in making it the most famous and successful nightclub on earth. Save for Cecil Beaton and Lord Snowdon in England, no other photographer has ever enjoyed such exceptional entrEe. A valued guest at Palm Beach, Northeast Harbor, Acapulco, San Francisco, Cap d'Antibes, and Jamaica, he has devoted the greater portion of his career to depicting attractive people on delightful occasions-christenings, birthday parties, weddings, hunt breakfasts, theatre openings, tennis matches, and costume balls. As Brendan Gill says, speaking of the book's immense cast of characters, "One could scarcely do better than join them, as Zerbe himself has always done, out there on the polished ballroom floor, under all those winking crystal prisms and pink balloons."
