Talking it Over

Palm Springs, Calif. Muscling in on a new racket, nope you’re wrong. This time there’s no romantic attachment --- it’s just a picture of refreshing pause in the middle of a tennis match on the “Desert Inn” courts at Palm Springs, and shows Janet Gaynor and Robert Montgomery talking it over. 5-13-33.

Happy Thanksgiving!
