I love this photo. I suppose it is a great example of early luxury boxes. I am curious what is Landis’ wife smelling? Emil Fuchs looks like a pompous ass. Landis looks self-righteous. Ruppert seems to be tickled with himself, and Bob Shawkey looks a wee bit mischievous. His wife at the far right is donning the same expression my wife has whenever we go to Safeco. The gentleman in the striped tie to the left of Ruppert is his good friend Colonel Fred Wattenburg. Despite dying in 1938 he remained in contact with Ruppert via the Ouija Board. In 1938 he communicated via that medium that Ruppert would join him in the afterlife soon. Ruppert a believer in the occult died almost a year to the date of that communication.
