Texas Guinan * Texas Guinan: Texas Guinan: Wilson Mizner

TEXAS GUINAN was friends with Wilson Mizner. In 1928, she floated the story that she was considering marrying him. There was one kink. If only he would propose.
• • "Texas Guinan to try again" • •
• • Texas Guinan, queen of the night clubs, who is ready to commit matrimony — — and with her Wilson Mizner, author, playwright, traveler, bon vivant, wit and millionaire. There is one obstacle in Texas's path. She does not know whether she can get the only man she would have — — this man being Wilson Mizner. Texas said she is badly smitten but not desperate. She is waiting for Wilson to make up his mind.
• • Note: Wilson Mizner [1876 — 1933] is noted for many bons mots such as, "Be nice to people on the way up because you'll meet the same people on the way down," and, "If you copy from one author, it's plagiarism. If you copy from two, it's research."
