Here's the back cover of the menu at Toots Shor's restaurant from Wednesday , April 14, 1954. Prime rib dinner was $3.95 that night.

Kid Nichols died in 1953 though.

My Toots Shor menu is dated Feb 25, 1956.

Toots Shor continued printing this photo on their menus for several years during the 1950's

Ed Walsh must be 70 in that picture. He sure doesn't look it. And what is with Latham's right leg/foot?

While Ed Walsh looked much younger than his actual age at the time would indicate, Kid Nichols had been dead for more than a year - and looks pretty spry for a corpse. Date must be wrong.
