I found a pic of the set-up for this show….there’s a standing fan that blows her boa out. Very movie set-like :)

The “standing fan” is actually Gloria Swanson, who opened the place in 1927! (I think th opening film was “The Loves of Sunya” which starred this lady.)

HAHA – MikeJC, i meant the actual standing FAN sticking out of the left-side of the photo, blowing on Gloria to make her boa billow out.
