1916. "Dolly sister with Buzzer the cat, portrait photograph." One of the Dolly Sisters (Rose and Jenny), twin vaudeville stars from Budapest who made it big in America. 5x7 nitrate negative by Arnold Genthe. View full size.
Buzzer was a busy boy. I hope he was pretty mellow, most of the cats we had would have tolerated this sort of handling for about 2 minutes before blood started flowing, particularly with strangers.
The 1945 20th Century Fox Movie had the dark brunette
Dolly Sisters portrayed by the very blonde Betty Grable
and June Haver. If you like a good, old-fashioned Hollywood
musical with lots of songs and minimal plot, it's an enjoyable flick!
On June 1, 1941, one of them had a sad ending.
