Tails & Patent Leathers. Sobel's own introduction to golf came at the age of 22, after he had already made something of a name for himself as a ragtime pianist in Europe. Early one morning, after a show at Ciro's in Paris, Ross and some friends set out by car for a tour of the French countryside. As luck would have it, the car ran out of gas alongside a suburban golf course -so Sobel played his first round dressed in tails and patent leather shoes.

Their encounter took place in Ciro's, an expensive Sunset Strip night-eyrie. Tone walked in with his wife and her maiden aunt, a Miss Fay Redfield of Cloquet, Minn. Barbara had just returned to town for three personal appearances, two in theaters and one before a federal grand jury which was interested in a dope-peddling murder (she had supplied the suspect's alibi). Franchot stepped to Florabel's table...
