An announcement of a wine event in The Keystone State mentioned MAE WEST.
• • "Wine Circle: The Mystery of Fortified Wines" refers to any wine to which a distilled beverage (usually brandy) has been added, for instance, port, sherry, Madeira, etc. Friday 14 January 2011 is the "Wine Circle" date and the venue is the Hotel Fauchere [401 Broad St., Milford, PA].

Notable guests who have spent the night at the "French hotel" have included Mae West, Andrew Carnegie, Robert Frost, Babe Ruth, Ogden Nash, and three U.S. presidents — — not all at the same time, however, nor in the same room.
• • Adolph Zukor's Birthdate • •
• • Mae West worked with everyone from A to Z — — and, at Paramount Pictures, she met the biggest AZ of all.
• • Born in early January as "Adolph Cukor," Adolph Zukor [7 January 1873 — 10 June 1976] was a film mogul and founder of Paramount Pictures.
• • The Hungarian journalist Farkas László writes: Throughout the 1920's Zukor used to receive about 40 letters a day from a Hungarian nation proud of his fame and stature. He never forgot the land of his birth, and was never ashamed to let people know where he was from. He hired many Hungarians to work in his studio.
• • Mae West's former agent Jerry Martin dies • •
• • According to The Hollywood Reporter: Jerry Martin’s clients included actresses Mae West, Ava Gardner, Betty Grable, Alice Faye, Gwen Verdon, and others.
