The only other items in the folder included a tattered matchbook from a club on the San Francisco Bay called The Devil's Den. They touted "a view of Alcatraz" on the back. I wondered if they also had Lydia, The Tattooed Lady.
There was also a handwritten note from Sperry that had the names of Lily's parents and their address in Aspen, Colorado.
The last item was an old business card, stained and yellowed with time, for a photography studio in Berkeley called Lorem Portrait Studio, the photographer and apparent proprietor of the studio being a guy named Jack Salem...

For those not familiar with the Marx Brothers, Groucho sang a song in "At The Circus" called "Lydia, The Tattooed Lady" where he talked about all the things she had tattooed on her body and one of the lines was "And on a clear day you could see Alcatraz."
