Mail Bag! Who is who with Tiger Lil?

Oct
Ada here,
I am sending along the first of two pix of, I assume, one of your favorites, Lily Damita.
This one, I am not positive about. I believe it was taken by Errol during a trip to Catalina Island approx July 7th, 1938, during the holiday week when Errol was off. I can identify no one except Lily. Do you have any info on this shot?
I’ll toss it out to the world, Ada! Very nice, rare candid …

Hope you had fun reading the book on the Bundy Drive Boys. Here’s the cover and a sketch by Decker, in case you don’t have it.
Enjoy, Ada
Born Nov. 8, 1967, this half-German and half-Japanese scholar was also an author, critic, poet and actor.
He would later be known as the “King of Bohemia” and “The First Hippie” after his death on November
22, 1944. Truly, one of a kind.
