~~~ Nice and Cannes were mostly British at the time.
In fact, a well-known American, Frank Jay Gould, was a business partner of the casino's new owner who recenty purchased the run-down property... and Gould was the man with the funds to completely refurbish the place and half of Hollywood was there when the doors opened.
Historians tell us that Bently, Gloria Swanson, Douglas Fairbanks and Maurice Chevalier were there as well.... I wonder which one of them held your chip..!
