Dear Mr. Jones:
It’s not true!
Many O’Sullivan will not sing in the Persian Room this summer. She must have started this rumor herself… out of a suppressed desire to see her name in lights. Recently she started calling her uniform a bunny costume and singing Irish lullabies while making up the beds. She even asked Julius Monk for a walk-on part in “Dime a Dozen” at the Plaza 9-!
We appreciate her zeal, but her talents as a chambermaid are more valuable in the bedroom than the Persian Room. And anyway, she’ll be very busy this summer. Why?
Because it’s summer. People are flocking to New York just for the fun of it. And why not? It’s the one time of year when the city has everything working in its favor. Beautiful weather. Special events as part of the Summer Festival. No poison ivy. Nor mosquitoes.
Naturally The Plaza is going three better: special summer rates ($17 single, $22 double), air conditioning and no charge for children under fourteen who stay in the same room with their parents. Mary, who is more famous for her limericks, is now brushing up her Mother Goose. We’re always appropriate at The Plaza.
But we’re not stopping there. The Persian Room will remain open. (Without Mary O’Sullivan’s assistance!) It promises to be the biggest attraction at New York’s Summer Festival. Now all we need is your attendance to make this summer at The Plaza the jolliest one in history.
See you soon?
Very sincerely,
Alphonse W. Salomore, Jr.
Vice President and General Manager

I hope you’ll use the enclosed card for a personal and special introduction when you visit The Plaza this summer!
