This is from the French fashion magazine, 'La Gazette du Bon Ton', 1922, and the Jazzoflute virtuoso appears to be gathering admirers.

I wonder what ever happened to the Jazzoflute?

And here's the next time Frank Sinatra gave Polly Adler an autograph, as he was moving into his Chairman of the Board phase:
"Polly -- I adore you - Francis."

Naturally, she had it framed.

This frosty January night by the fire seems like a good time to do a deeper dive on Ol' Blue Eyes.

Here's Frank @Sinatra's first entry in 's autograph book.

"“To Polly – a person I’ve heard of for some time -- and whom I’ve finally met – a very charming person – my pleasure. Sincerely Frank Sinatra”

My wife and I just got back from seeing . She wanted to see something lavish, and I had flatly refused to watch

It's very meta, being a movie about the movie industry in pre-Hays Code Hollywood, and has a half-hour prologue that's pretty much the equivalent of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll.

After the title card, we see how Hollywood is a classic capitalist meat grinder, using people up and casting them aside, and the major players themselves aren't always sympathetic.
