Playwright Ambrose Deacon suffers from acute diffidence. The success of his one-hit Broadway play sends him to Hollywood where he meets moving picture moguls Herbert Ringrose and Ben Griesheimer and the screen goddess Imperia Starling. This is the start of his extraordinary adventures in Hollywood and he discovers that he doesn't know how to say No. One of the first comic novels about life in Hollywood. Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964) was an American novelist and was one of the most influential literary figures of the 1910s and 1920s. He began his career in journalism as a reporter and later worked as its Paris correspondent. His first novel, Peter Whiffle (1922) is a first-person account of the salon and bohemian culture of New York and Paris, clearly drawn from Van Vechten's own experiences, and was immensely popular.
