Will Rogers (1879-1935) - a Cherokee cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator and stage and motion picture actor, pictured here with his wife Betty Rogers (nee Blake - 1879?1944) - doing a spot of outdoor cookery at his home in Pacific Palisades, California. During the 'Roaring' Twenties, Rogers appeared as an anchor of stability; his conventional home life and traditional moral code reminded people of an innocent past.
