• • "Horse Races Here Next Sunday" • •
• • Mae West, screen actress, has two favored horses competing in the Sunday races. The famous film star’s speedsters, Art Dillon and Lucky Watts will have W. E. Bakeoff driving them for a winning place at the Palm Springs Field Club. Considerable interest has been shown among local Palm Springs men, many of whom plan to purchase or lease some of the fine horses entered here Sunday so they will race under their colors.

• • It's more than amusing that Billy Sunday chose a Sunday to pay a visit to Mae West with his plain-faced wife. On 4 December 1932, Mr. and Mrs. Sunday posed for several cheeky photographs on the set of "She Done Him Wrong." In one shot, Billy is pretending to smash the set's saloon with a chair. Too funny.

• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 3326th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
