After the success of Naked City (July 1945) Weegee received a number of colorful and fanciful requests. This telegram was sent to the still extant Julius’s Bar (1864-present) from Susan Kuehn who was working as a guest editor and writer at the 11 year old, and no longer extant, Mademoiselle, (1935-2001). Weegee’s response is not known.
Weegee, Julius’, the oldest bar in the Village at Tenth Street and Waverly Place, rendezous of artists and writers… Joe, the bartender, answers your phone calls, solve’s life’s complicated problems, and even cashes your check…, ca. 1945 (16099.1993)
