The private lives of editors, No. 2

“The magazines’ youngest editor Otis L. Wiese, has joined the pent-housers on what is perhaps the grandest scale of his craft. His duplex mosque in the East 80’s includes 12 rooms, 5 baths and a variety of terraced gardens. Mr. Wiese came out of Iowa and when he took his post several years ago had just turned 21.” — Pioneering gossip columnist O.O. McIntyre, who seems to have had a particular fascination with magazine editors, writing in March 1935.

Wiese edited McCall’s magazine from 1928 to 1958.
