From my collection this a 1935 photograph of Mae West learning how to handle a Thompson 1928A1 with a 100 round C Drum attached.

So the story goes Mae West was being extorted for $1000 with the threat of having acid thrown over her.

Pictured here with L.A Bereau investigator Jack Chriss.20200902_161234.thumb.jpg.967eb12996d84a740ba2f5d5bd2d83d9.jpg
