Miami Beach circa 1938...your Hudson automobile pulls onto Ocean Drive on South Beach...a menagerie of blinking neon marquees...hotels with the kind of Art Deco Swank that embodies the modern movement of Art Deco...post Art Deco heading into the swing of the forties...as the bell hop opens your door and retrieves your luggage you are in the lobby of the hotel to check in...carrying your very special hat box...admiring the jadeite green and mirror glass tiles of the sunken fireplace...the chrome railings that envelope the bar area and lead up a swank stairway of terrazzo floors...you are brought by your elevator man to the 10th floor penthouse suite with banks of windows overlooking the grand aqua blue Atlantic Ocean. The draperies sophisticated and colorful...epitomizing everything that IS the tropical movement of Miami Beach that took place at a time of excitement...richness...and those who had a appreciation for sophistication and flamboyance...a glitz unparalleled on the southern east coast.
