Edna Ferber, who often wore tailored suits, was also quick on the draw. Once at the Round Table, Noel Coward told her “You look almost like a man”...”So’...Miss Ferber replied...’do you.”

Parker was actually Jewish hence the wit

She was cute young and nice legs

But aged hard from serious hard liquor abuse

I visited the Algonquin on my last visit to NYC. The original round table and the room it was in no longer exist. They had a faux round table for the gawking tourists like myself though they don’t tell one it’s not the original.
