Published by Simon and Shuster, 1948. Incredible illustrations by Salvador Dali. 295pgs. (Dali painting of female sculpture on cover, several duotone Dali illos throughout) Billy Rose was an American impresario, theatrical showman, and lyricist. For decades he was a major force in entertainment, with shows such as JUMBO (1935), BILLY ROSE'S AQUACADE, and CARMEN JONES (1943). His Diamond Horseshoe nightclub at the Paramount Hotel in New York was a major entertainment hub in the WWII era. Rose influenced the careers of many stars and was inducted as a member of the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. In 1943, he produced CARMEN JONES with an all-black cast. An adaptation of Bizet's opera CARMEN, the story was transplanted to World War II America by lyricist and librettist Oscar Hammerstein II. It was an instant hit.
