This was an excellent piece. My stepfather's mother, Sonia Alomis, shared a room with Sophie Tucker when they were on tour in America. Alomis, with her husband Alexander Asro, formed the Vilna Troupe in Eastern Europe. Asro created the role of "Sasha Smirnoff" in Room Service, which he later performed in the film with the Marx Brothers and the 1953 Broadway revival.
