“Tuesday Night At The Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles” by Ralph Barton, June 1927

“Tuesday Night At The Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles” by Ralph Barton, 1928This rather impressive piece is called “Tuesday Night At The Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles” and originally appeared in the June 1927 edition of Vanity Fair. It was the work of celebrity caricaturist, Ralph Barton whose work was frequently seen in magazines like The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar. This one is my favorite though because he manages to squeeze dozens and dozens of the leading lights of 1927 Hollywood into one illustration. (As far as I’m concerned, the only person missing is Gwendolyn Brick! (*wink*)
