William Woodcock's letters

SAVE2953, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. From Bill Woodcock Sr. 1/13/54 to Dick Conover "Reed said he had a good barber shop number in Cuba and also with the Sparks Show. Tips he suggested to me is to forget about the powder puff and just have some flour in a dish and let Anna May draw it up her trunk and blow it in Fanny's face. Also said that the customer should wear an apron with a pocket and a dollar bill in it. At the end, bull should take dollar out of the pocket and offer it as payment but trainer has to hold it up as display. I haven't seen the barber shop since I helped Al Langdon with Ding and Baby Boo with Campbell-Bailey & Hutchinson in 1921. I used to sit on the ground by the bandstand and stir up the lather before every performance."
