Who was that I saw you with last night?

 I wish I had just a tad bit more information re this photograph.  Let's see, we're in New York City at the Stork Club.  From the ribbons on Bob's uniform, it is probably 1943 and Lt. Comdr. Montgomery has been assigned duties stateside after serving in the Pacific Theater.  And, from all the glassware on the table, at least two persons have excused themselves from being photographed with a celebrity at a bar.  Now, the big question:  Who the heck is the lady with Bob?

STUDIO QUARTERS . . .

 . . . Robert Montgomery, M.G.M, star in his new dressing room at the studio.  The room is done in Early American style, having walls and ceiling of knotty pine and colorful rugs and drapes.  In the background can be seen his built-in dressing table.  The screen is made from caricature map.

Submarines and Designer Swimsuits ... Not Quite a Match

Nice photograph of Madge Evans, taken as part of the ad campaign for Hell Below (1933).  The bathing suit almost blends in to make it appear Madge is wearing only straps and a belt.  Not that it wasn't intentional, I'm sure.  I still wonder about high-heeled shoes being paired with a swimsuit and swimming cap.  Just never saw that at the beach.
