Anna May Wong (From Dave Price)

Did you know that Anna May Wong not only has the distinction of having had TWO elephants named after her but now has been accorded that rare honor of having her picture on T-shirts?

Can coffee mugs be far behind?

Years ago when I was in Los Angeles I tried to call Anna May but I kept getting the Wong number.

And that, gentle reader, is the joke that took vaudeville to its painful death.

Some trivia for you on Anna May Wong as her first staring roll in a film was The Toll of the Sea in 1922 for Metro pictures in the two color Technicolor process.

Mr Woodcock:

Please tell your class that it is not polite to groan so audibly when an older person shares a bit of vintage humor with them.
