Mae West: Coffs Harbour

Coffs Harbour Advocate, an Australian weekly, was all excited about MAE WEST on  Friday, 4 January 1935.  The paper wrote this:  Who hasn't heard of Mae West?  She is probably the best known actress in talking pictures to-day, and will be seen for the first time at Coffs Harbour to-morrow and Monday nights. So you can "Come up and see her." The title of the picture is "I'm No Angel," and in it you will see Mae just as you have pictured her.  You will enjoy her songs. The main support is called "Springtime for Henry," and it also has a strong cast.

• • On 2 January 1934, when Mae's sister Beverly applied for a marriage license in Chicago, it was hoped that her second Russian-born husband would be a better companion than her ex-husband Sergei Treshatny. The groom Vladimir Baikoff made Beverly's acquaintance when both were booked on a radio program. Beverly was doing her famous Mae West impersonation for a broadcast — — and Vlad was eager to conjugate some sultry Slavic verbs with her in private, after the show.
• • On her marriage license, Beverly gave her age as 27, meaning that she had been born in 1907. This was consistent with Mae's calculations; in 1934, Mae was giving her birthyear as 1900 and the siblings were seven years apart.
