Vanity Fair cover, June 1914
The cover to the June 1914 issue of Vanity Fair, an American magazine published from 1913 to 1936 by Condé Montrose Nast, the first of many published by his company Condé Nast Publications. Nast purchased a men's fashion magazine titled Dress in 1913 and renamed it Dress and Vanity Fair. In 1914, the title was shortened to Vanity Fair. During its run, it competed with The New Yorker as the American establishment's top culture chronicle and featured writing by Thomas Wolfe, T. S. Eliot, P. G. Wodehouse, and Dorothy Parker. However, it became a casualty of the Great Depression and declining advertising revenues, and it was folded into Vogue in 1936. In 1983, Condé Nast revived the title as a new publication.Artist: Ethel McClellan Plummer; Restoration: Lise Broer

The trio?

[edit]

The sentence starting "The trio ..." comes in a paragraph after introducing four new names. I believe Crowninshield was the person not in the Algonquin Round Table. The sentence should probably say "The latter trio ...," or more specifically, "Parker, Benchley and Sherwood ..." I'd make the edit, but I'm not 100% sure this was the intended meaning of "The trio." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:184:4200:BA0:61A9:70FD:20B8:9B41 (talk) 13:26, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
