Photoplay (Jul-Dec 1949)

One Mardi Gras Night in New Orleans . . . that exploded into murder! ON the eve of the gay Mardi Gras, Orson Foxworth, financial buccaneer, gave a dinner at world famous Antoine's for seven extraordinary guests. One was beautiful young Odile St. Amant. An unkissed wife, she ached with desperate longing for the embraces of Leonce, her playboy husband. And at the table sat Odile’s younger sister, voluptuous Caresse, even more sultry than her name. She resided with Odile and her husband in the family mansion and she drove Leonce to a maddening desire to put an end to his wife so that he could possess her. And The Only Club That Brings You Best-Sellers for $1 The Dollar Book Club offers to send you both “ Dinner at Antoine’s” and “High T owers,” for just a 3-cent stamp— as a generous sample to new members of the wonderful reading entertainment and equally wonderful savings that nearly a million families enjoy through the Club.
