Darryl Maximilian Robinson Recalls A Memorable 2017 Visit To Frank Sinatra Hall at The Eileen Norris Cinema Theatre at USC

RECALLING A MEMORABLE 2017 VISIT TO FRANK SINATRA HALL AT THE EILEEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE AT USC!
Without question one of the greatest entertainers in the history of show business was the late, great CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD FRANK SINATRA!
Born Francis Albert Sinatra in 1915, and departing his world of fans far too soon in 1998, "The Pride of Hoboken, New Jersey" was an Italian-American performer of humble roots who went on to become one of the most memorable screen actors, recording artists and concert performers of all time!
He was also a world-renowned humanitarian, who lent his talent, voice and positive energy to many worthy charities and causes.
During the weekend of Sunday April 23, 2017, the date of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY ( a well-known entertainer of literary legend! ), your humble servant in The Theatre, Darryl Maximilian Robinson, while paying a visit to THE ANNUAL LA FESTIVAL OF BOOKS AT USC, discovered when he entered the lobby of THE EILLEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE a treasure trove of educational, enlightening and inspiring trophies, honors and awards all captured by OLD BLUE EYES during the course of his multi-decade-long performing career.
Mr. Sinatra has left us A Hell Of An Awards Room, and is still teaching Americans of humble beginnings that honest, hard work ( even in show business ) pays off!
When visiting the coolest spots of Los Angeles, Mr. Robinson highly recommends that anyone with the remotest interest in The History of The Performing Arts, Movies, Music and Live Entertainment make a stop at FRANK SINATRA HALL AT THE EILEEN NORRIS CINEMA THEATRE OF USC!
