Of course Mabel Starck and the vivacious Mae West.

This photo appears in Mabel's book, HOLD THAT TIGER, written with Gertrude Orr. Out of Caxton Printers, it first was published in 1938, and re-printed in 1946.

An interviewer asked Miss West, with all she had achieved, would she trade places with anyone. Mae said, "If I would, it would be with this tiger gal, Mabel Stark." Mabel responded, "Fine with me. I'd like to be Mae West."
