    Caption from Down Beat: These are the things that make up Louis Armstrong, as reflected in the mirror by Bill Gottlieb, staff lensman, in the third of his intimate studies of musical celebs in their dressing rooms. Here are his throat spray and other medications (Louie vocalizes as much as he plays trumpet, you know), the inevitable stack of handkerchiefs (he uses them by the dozen), and copies of the diet by which he lost 60 poinds in one year, distributed gratis to all over-weight friends and acquaintances.
