The Smuin Ballet has an eight-day engagement at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre in San Francisco. There are three parts to the beautiful performance, the last one being "Sinatra swings!" I ushered on Saturday and Sunday. My picture shows a very poor likeness of Sinatra in the theater lobby; someone said it's on loan from the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. Behind him are two ladies, probably copies of 1915 sculptures, created for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition, possibly by William Merchant.
I sit to be corrected on any, or all, of the above. I just liked the juxtaposition of the figures, kitsch though they are, and made a point to bring my camera on the second day!
