Mae West: Lucky Recipient

Ever popular with those newspaper scribes, MAE WEST popped up in an essay about, yes, Xmas card themes:  "Greeting cards chronicle manners, customs, and events." Let's find out what the writer said.
• • The Daily Banner staff wrote: Personalities who were household words of their times often popped up in Christmas cards.
• • The Daily Banner staff explained: A typical card of 1934 offered five famous faces for the price of one. It showed the Duke of Windsor (then the Prince of Wales), Mussolini, Garbo, Chevalier, and Mae West all wishing the lucky recipient, seasonal greetings in their own particular style.  . . .
