Louis Armstrong and Lotte Lenya, 1955
Lenya was in the studio when Armstrong recorded "Mack the Knife," which is why he improvised the line "and Miss Lotte Lenya!"

Bette’s career took an unexpectedly happy turn when popular actor George Arliss recommended Bette for a role in The Man Who Played God (1932). With that success she signed a five year contract with Warner Brothers. Another pic of Bette by Ferenc and the image in a lobby card.
