 Crosby was a member of several private clubs—the Players Club, the Salamagundi Club, the Dutch Treat Club and the Coffee House Club at the Hotel Seymour, where he lived, dining with George Abbott, Jerome Kern, Ring Lardner, John Barrymore, Rube Goldberg, Heywood Broun and Frank Crowninshield.After nights at these clubs, he sometimes would awaken with no recollection of the previous evening.Regardless, Crosby continued to explore numerous creative realms, writing "Skippy" prose vignettes for "Life" that led to a "Skippy" novel for G. P. Putnam's Sons.
