Inhaltsverzeichnis

Geschichte

Die 1. Ausgabe der Zeitschrift erschien im März 1900 in Amerika. Als The Smart Set bereits 1911 für 100.000 US-Dollar verkauft wurde, erhielten die Freunde H. L. Mencken und George Jean Nathan das Angebot, die Redaktion zu übernehmen. Jedoch lehnten sie es ab und empfahlen Willard Huntington Wright, welcher den Posten nur ein Jahr behielt.

Im Jahr 1914 erkauften Eugen Crowe und Eltinge F. Warner eine Mehrheitsbeteiligung. Mencken und Nathan konnten diesmal für die Redaktion gewonnen werden. Beide führten das Magazin aus seiner Krise der fallenden Leserschaft und finanzieller Probleme teilweise wieder heraus.

Nach 9 Jahren gaben Nathan und Mencken ihre Stellen auf. Im Juli 1930 erschien die letzte Ausgabe unter dem geänderten Namen: The New Smart Set
