@bill3murr Thank to you, Bill, my English vocabulary becomes richer and richer. I almost forgot the word "dainties" which is so lovely! It reminds me of my childhood English lessons: with the Brown Family that lived in Bishopton and their children who were "greedy for sweets and dainties".

An ultra-sophisticated panorama of posters that lights up these dark days.  I especially love the dame with the pet elephant. Should I steal one from the zoo?

Also like the last lady, all that dazzling blue...

@barbcard I just read about that terrible fire in Israel. It's unbelievable. Dozens of victims! Is it one more  "secret message" - like tke not-long-ago fires in Russia - from - well? From who? The one. "Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken"?

@Corrie121 Hi Corrie! I could listen and listen to Savouy Orpheans day and night. In their renditions there';s so much sophistication - however mixed with a pure and natural "joy of playing" - which never slides down into vulgarity of the "musical pranks" that were so common in hot dance arrangements, especially in America (e.g. Spike Jones)

Lovely glowing music and some spicy ladies. You wouldn't want to mess with the one at 1:08.

@dzheger How funny! Your made a very precise shot: the 1:08 girl with somewhat periculous looks is the only one who is Polish in that set! Moreover, she was a prewar comedy actress in the City Theatre of Bydgoszcz! (You can see a bleak contour of the Polish word "Wyjście" meaning Exit, behind her back).
