Mae West: Captain Cummings


In January it's time to remember the British actor that MAE WEST brought to fame when she chose him for the role of Captain Cummings (a.k.a. "The Hawk") in the film verion of Mae's play Diamond Lil. On the Broadway stage, Curtis Cooksey [1891 - 1962] had taken the same part.
