One of the big surprises of the evening was when Rose Hobart, (pictured here by the lens of Frossard) showed up. Rose, the star of the 1932 Joseph Cornell film of the same name painted an exquisite portrait of BigHat. BigHat, a huge fan of Rose, was smitten and had a hard time not dropping his brush! Bighat managed Not to fall out of his chair when Rose said of his portrait of her that it reminded her of a Picasso! There are as many wonderful stories on the slowtrain as there are people!
