We've got our eyes on you, Heather!

 It is June 6, 1937.  A beautiful day in Santa Monica.  The occasion is a polo benefit presented by the Uplifters, an invitation-only, men's-only social club.  The master of ceremonies is Jack Oakie, pictured below with (L-R) Mrs. Oakie, Heather Angel and Robert Montgomery.  I do wonder why Heather is included in this photo.  She can't be a member of the club.  However, she is small, British and snuggled up against Mr. Montgomery.  Umm.  This is not the only photo I have of the two together.  Umm.  Just saying....


Bob is wearing THE mid-to-late 1930's Montgomery outfit.  The jacket, white slacks, the movie-reel tie and the straw hat ... he must have worn out the outfit.  And his 5 o'clock shadow.  He would have fit in so well with today's scruffy beards look.  I mean, this man could grow a full beard over a long weekend.
