Mae West: 2 Lucky Winners

They came up to see MAE WEST on her birthday, on Wednesday, 17 August 2016 in her hometown. Yes, they did indeed!  This popular event was held at a building Mae was actually in, in 1927, when it was the Third Judicial Complex — — currently, the stately landmarked Jefferson Market Library on Sixth Avenue. (No one from Greenwich Village ever calls the thoroughfare anything else except Sixth Avenue.)
• • And two lucky winners went home with Mae.
• • Event organizer LindaAnn Loschiavo picked two raffle tickets; here are the results.
• • Chelsea resident GAIL SIEGEL is holding her prize, Diamond Lil, sketched by Irving Hoffman in 1928 when Mae was onstage with her Bowery drama at the Royale Theatre on Broadway.
• • Village resident CLARE SAVIOLA displays her new keepsake, a reprint of a rare lobby card from "Night After Night" (1932).
• • Congratulations to the lucky winners. Mae West will be in good company.

• • Thank you to Jefferson Market Library and to all of our wonderful attendees who certainly filled the room (and stayed 'til the end).

• • Mae West said: "My play 'Sex' was a work of art."
