"Getting Gertie s Garter, " "The Demi Virgin, " and "Naughty Cinderella" peppered other seasons. Although Hopwood amassed a fortune writing these Broadway entertainments, his chief goal was to write a significant novel. "Something," he once told a newspaper reporter, "which an intelligent man can sit down and read and think about." "The Great Bordello," completed only days before his early death, was to be, he hoped, just such a work.weniger sehen
