    Probably same occasion as the next photo. Famous Door became Spotlite Club in November 1944. (“Night Club Reviews: Spotlite Club, New York,” Billboard, December 2, 1944, 26, 33). It became Famous Door once more from December mid, 1946. (“Four Spots Left, Jazz Blows Final Breath on 52ns Street,” Down Beat January 15, 1947, 3). it switched to striptease in November 1947. (“The Swing on Swing Street Is From Be-Bop to Be-Pretty,” Billboard, November 15, 1947; 37).

    If that is Herschel Evans the date cannot be 1941, but 1939 at the latest, for Evans died February 2 of that year.

    Great catch, Dill Pixels -- we'll make a note of this and change the description when we next update our databases.

    OK! Say hello to Pat Padua, if he's at all in your neighborhood.
