N.p. N.p., 1965. Vintage photograph of Sammy Davis Jr. and Geraldine Chaplin in Davis' dressing room, following the December 10, 1965 performance of "Golden Boy," at the Majestic Theatre. Provenance sticker, a small article clipping, a "Dec 12 1965" date stamp, and a mimeo snipe affixed to the verso, partly obscuring a photo credit stamp.

The mimeo snipe and article clipping on the verso notes that Chaplin is starring in the upcoming film "Dr. Zhivago," and "flew into town on Wednesday for the... film premiere."
