Still in her teens, still slim, and still a brunette, Mae West was very busy in 1912. At Poli's Palace Theatre in Connecticut, the energetic entertainer appeared in vaudeville with the "Girard Brothers" [-- two dancers named Bobby O'Neil and Harry Laughlin]. During their act, Mae did a sultry rendition of "Cuddle Up and Cling to Me" as she danced provocatively.
• • After the third performance, the trio was fired. "Her Wriggles Cost Mae West Her Job," read one newspaper headline.
