A game of pool

The second story of the Erdman house in Barons was a popular "hangout" for pool players. |
L to R - Wally Koot, Bob Salman (Gus's nephew from Crimea,
a relative of Leongrad Salman's) Avy Johnson (Barons resident) and Otto
Kingsep. I would expect this was taken sometime in the 1930s. This is the
2nd floor balcony at Gus's house. The pool room is to the right of the
photo. Gus put in the pool room to keep his 4 sons home, after the Snooker
Hall was established in Barons. Mom said it didn't work - the men played
pool and not Mom's brothers. |
