David Rock-Ola, trade fair 1946

Post by coppinpr »

I just found this interesting photo of David Rock-Ola at a trade fair in 1946 with his latest 1422 model.
The woman on the left looks shocked that Rock-ola has just announced that's he going to take her drink from her (so she is holding it very tight). The man next to her looks like he's just been told what was actually in the sandwich he's just eaten (and is pointing to). The woman next to him looks very angry indeed with someone in the crowd. The next guy is just plain creepy and is also not happy with the guy in the crowd (he looks like he might be Rock-Ola's "fixer". David has clearly announced that he has now switched to wearing Laurel and Hardy ties, but still manages to look his usual semi-gangster self. The next man is clearly in love with Rock-ola and the man on the far right (who surely must be David's grandfather) appears to have been dead for some time (or at the very least should not be smoking those cigars). Note that David and the angry woman are also smoking on stage. Those were the days. :o
