He certainly was hunny.

here's another tid-bit from "42nd Street" (1933) featuring the utterly divine Ruby Keeler and the so so soigne Dick Powell.

At the end of the show Dick Powell pulls down the safety curtain, you will note that it has 'ASBESTOS' written on it, which reminds me of my misspent childhood. I managed to get into the old Hippodrome Music Hall in Accy, and there was an enormous safety curtain there too, made of woven asbestos. Being kind of dumb then, I have always had a healthy disregard for Elf-n-Safety, we cut holes in it so that we could use a rope from the fly tower to swing through the safety curtain out over the orchestra pit.
Ahhh, happy days - wot fun!
