Description
Used in the Exhibit: Play by Play - A Century of L.A. Sports Photography, 1889-1989
Movie producers hoping to capitalize on Babe Ruth's immense popularity lured him to Hollywood during the off-season, where he made several forgettable films (including a series of shorts for Universal). Here, in a staged publicity photo, show-girls greet Ruth--and his mighty bat--upon his arrival.
