He was waiting tor her when the phone rang. Ava turned to Williams and asked it he would mind dropping up to the Apollo with her while she made the bow. "Williams agreed and they cab bed up to Harlem. Davis was wait ing in the wings and took Ava out on the stage. She got a tremendous hand; For her it was something to do, since personal appearances al ways make her nervous. “Later, Ava, Williams and Davis went to a neighboring bar and had a drink together. Bil and Ava then went off to dinner alone. “Meanwhile, talk of a romance began to get around. Now, Ava’s coming in for all kinds of snide comment, just because it’s like her to want to help people she likes.” In Hollywood, Ava exp alned that I)svis was a great friend of Frank Sinatra and that when she arrived in New York, Sammy asked her to come out and see him per form. “Not that I’m ashamed of my friendship with Sammy,” she added. “I think he is a great artist and I feel that there is no color One when it comes to great talent in shdw (business."
