There is a seating capacity for eight guests at a time and the table is shared by other customers. The food served consists primarily of salads such as cucumber mushroom crab beet and herring but there is also liver paté and smoked salmon…†Identified amongst the signators are: Ingrid Bergman Louise Allbritton Virginia Field Mario Lanza Groucho Marx Marlene Dietrich Carl Brick Helen Traubel Miriam Hopkins Elsie D.
