 | | For when, in 1938, Paramount Picture set about making their epic called “Cafe Society,” that organization paid $5,000 merely for the use of the title, but not to Maury Paul. |
 | | Maury Henry Biddle Paul, society editor of The New York Journal-American and colorful chronicler of New York society events and personalities under the pen-name of “Colly Knickerbocker,” died early yesterday of a heart ailment at his home, 136 East Sixty-fourth Street, at the age of 52. |
 | | Paul invented the phrase “Cafe Society,” to describe the night club and restaurant crowd, also coined the expression, “Old Guard,” which included members of the old New York families, and even these he divided into two classes, A and B. He was unmarried and lived at the East Sixty-fourth Street address with his mother. |
