Movie actress Kay Francis says goodbye to Hollywood in a big way at the Vendome Café.
eBay
"To celebrate her projected vacation to New York, Kay Francis, Film Star, staged a spectacular party in the Vendome Café in Hollywood. The front of the café was converted into the deck of a luxury liner. A gangplank jutted out from the improvised steamer to the limousines bearing guests. The arrivals stepped on the gangplank and tobogganed down a fun-house slide to the festivities a floor below."
The press photo shows the converted front of the café. 2/19/35
As a reminder, here's what the Vendome Café looked like under normal circumstances.
