Martine Barrat

Ida Lester's dresser. Everybody called her "Cousin Ida from Milwaukee." She was a burlesque dancer. She went to the Amsterdam Musical Association, every Saturday. Sometimes I would call early Saturday evening and she'd say, "Darlin', I'm sleeping ..."

Mr. Jackson, at the Harlem Moon. He spends a great deal of time there because there is no heat in his building. He was a soldier in both World Wars.
