Lot 89009 -  A Marilyn Monroe Signed Black and White Photograph, 1955.
An original print with a glossy finish, an enlarged snapshot depicting the star wearing a white evening gown and a white fur coat, signed in blue ballpoint ink in the lower right corner "To Jim / Love & Kisses / Marilyn Monroe;" from the personal collection of James Collins, one of the 'Monroe Six' -- the group of young kids who followed Marilyn around NYC so often that the star ended up knowing them all by name and allowing them special access to her (like letting them take countless pictures and giving them numerous autographs); included is a black and white photograph of Collins: an original print with a matte finish, depicting Collins as a teenager in 1955 standing at a typewriter that was set up outside of a shop on an NYC street, verso is stamped in part "Life Magazine / ...Photo by Michael Rouger / ... Apr 13 1955;" Collins remembers that this photograph of him actually ran in the magazine with a caption noting what he had just typed which was "Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful girl." (Please note the photograph of MM is heavily wrinkled on the lower margin and has a 1 1/2" tear in same area which somewhat affects her signature; the photograph of Collins is heavily wrinkled with two lower corners missing.)

More Information:
"Marilyn Monroe is a beautiful girl!" were the words I was typing when as a 17 year-old, this picture of me was shot by a photographer from LifeMagazine in 1955. The photo, which actually appeared in the magazine a couple of months later, launched my own collection of Marilyn Monroe photos taken overseveral years by me and fivefellow teenage fans who became known as "The Monroe 6." During Marilyn's time in New York, I and the others photographed herin various locations around the city. We would then run to the drugstore to get our snapshots developed in multiples so that all of us could have all the shots we had taken of her (thus the reason for the different shapes and sizes of the photos my collection). In the era before Google and GPS and TMZ and smartphones, we were alerted to Marilyn's appearancesand whereabouts by sources ranging fromVariety Magazinetoher Upper East Side hairdresser. Marilyn got to know the six of us well as we journeyed around the city with her and I remember her always being gracious and friendly. We wanted nothing from her except the opportunity to take her picture or to get her autograph - and often times she would sign on the very photographs we had just taken of her the day before. After Marilyn died, I put these photographs in a closet for many decades, though over the last few years, I have posted a few of them on the Internet for fans to see. I am now ready to let others have my original 1950s-era snapshots of the movie star I had the luck and pleasure to see many times up close and in the flesh - Miss Marilyn Monroe! And she did not disappoint - she was absolutely beautiful as all these photos clearly indicate. When you saw her in person, shewas THE movie star, no doubt about it!

.
Le 30 janvier 1954, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio et Lefty O'Doul font une escale à Honolulu (à Hawaï) après 9 heures et demie de vol. En provenance de San Francisco aux USA, le couple attend l'avion qui les emmènera à Tokyo, au Japon.
.
On January 30, 1954, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Lefty O'Doul made a stopover in Honolulu (Hawaii) after 9 and a half hours of flight. Coming from San Francisco in the USA, the couple is waiting for the plane which will take them to Tokyo, Japan.

.
* * * * *
.

Lorsque l'avion de la Pan American vol 831 se pose sur le sol d'Honolulu le soir du 29 janvier, une foule de fans hystériques (entre 1000 et 2000 selon les sources) sont présents, hurlant "Marilyn! Marilyn!". La sécurité n'avait pas prévu ces débordements. C'est une véritable cohue: la foule entoure Marilyn, s'accrochant à ses vêtements et ses cheveux. Certains fans ont même déclaré être parvenu à arracher des mèches de ses cheveux ! Finallement, la police va parvenir à éloigner la foule et à escorter le couple jusqu'à un salon des passagers de l'aéroport, où Marilyn doit se recoiffer, expliquant que "ils n'arrêtent pas de m'attraper les cheveux".
Des danseuses de Hula (danse traditionnelle hawaïenne) acceuillent le couple, le bureau des visiteurs et la police leur offrent des colliers de fleurs. Marilyn déclare aux reporters: "Le mariage est désormais ma carrière principale."

- Lefty O'Doul, Marilyn & Joe -
 
 

.

  When Pan American Flight 831 landed on Honolulu on the evening of January 29, a crowd of hysterical fans (between 1,000 and 2,000 depending on sources) were present, screaming "Marilyn! Marilyn!". Security had not anticipated these excesses. It's a real crush: the crowd surrounds Marilyn, clinging to her clothes and her hair. Some fans even said they managed to pull out strands of her hair! Eventually, the police manage to keep the crowd away and escort the couple to an airport passenger lounge, where Marilyn has to fix her hair, explaining that "they keep grabbing at my hair".
Hula dancers (traditional Hawaiian dance) greet the couple, the visitors' office and the police offer them flower leis. Marilyn tells the reporters: "Marriage is my main career from now on."

La matinée du 30 janvier, Joe et Lefty ont rendu visite à des amis (dont Theodore Searle) au stade d'Honolulu puis Marilyn et Joe ont du finaliser quelques formalités pour leur visas du Japon.
L'après-midi, Louis Benjamin sert de chauffeur à Joe et Lefty pour leur faire le tour de l'île; il les amène au club de golf Waialae où Joe et Lefty n'ont pas jouer, ne faisant que regarder. De son côté, Marilyn reste à l'hôtel et passe son temps au salon de coiffure de l'hôtel (elle a eu des mèches de cheveux arrachés à son arrivée).
Joe et Marilyn font tout pour éviter les photographes. Lefty O Doul dit aux reporters: "le couple passera son temps à rester à l'écart de la foule aujourd'hui. Vous savez, des tourtereaux en lune de miel." Ils auraient passé leur après-midi à se reposer, se prélassant sous le soleil, mais à 16h30, pendant qu'elle est en train de marcher le long de la plage derrière l'hôtel, Marilyn a été reconnue et assaillie par des fans.
.
Les reporters s'interrogent encore sur le pouce cassé de Marilyn. Louis Benjamin leur expliquera que "C'est arrivé à San Francisco. Elle l'a cogné contre quelque chose. C'est un bleu et une petite entorse", ajoutant qu'il a vu Marilyn pleurer de douleurs quand Joe lui a changé son bandage.
Ils auraient prévu de revenir passer une semaine à Hawaï à leur retour du Japon, tel le déclarera Louis Benjamin à la presse: "Ils pourraient rester ici une semaine si les patrons de Marilyn ne la rappellent pas." mais ils n'en feront rien (leur départ de Tokyo le 23 février en destination d'Hawaï où ils n'y feront qu'une escale, reprennant l'avion pour San Francisco dans la foulée).
.
On the morning of January 30, Joe and Lefty visited friends (including Theodore Searle) at Honolulu Stadium and Marilyn and Joe had to finalize some formalities for their Japanese visas.
In the afternoon, Louis Benjamin serves as Joe and Lefty's driver to take them around the island; he takes them to the Waialae Golf Club where Joe and Lefty didn't play, only watching. For her part, Marilyn stays at the hotel and spends her time at the hotel hair salon (she had strands of hair pulled out upon her arrival).
Joe and Marilyn do everything to avoid photographers. Lefty O Doul tells reporters: "the couple will spend their time staying away from the mob today. You know, lovebirds on a honeymoon." They would have spent their afternoon relaxing, basking in the sun, but at 4:30 p.m., while walking along the beach behind the hotel, Marilyn was recognized and mobbed by fans.
.
Reporters are still wondering about Marilyn's broken thumb. Louis Benjamin will explain to them that "It happened in San Francisco. She bumped it against something. It's a bruise and a little sprain", adding that he saw Marilyn crying in pain when Joe changed her bandage.
They would have planned to come back and spend a week in Hawaii upon their return from Japan, as Louis Benjamin declared to the press: "They can stay here a week if Marilyn's bosses don't call her back" but they will do nothing about it ( their departure from Tokyo on February 23 for Hawaii where they will only have a stopover, taking the plane back to San Francisco immediately).

Joe, Marilyn et O'Doul décident d'avancer leur départ, tant les fans sur l'île sont incontrôlables. Ils prennent l'avion de la Pan American pour Tokyo la nuit du 31 janvier au 01er février (leur vol est à 02h00 du matin le 01er février) dont l'arrivée à Tokyo (aéroport d'Haneda) est prévu à 15h05 le 1er février (heure et date de Tokyo).
Quelques heures avant leur départ, une centaine de personnes étaient venus s'agglutiner autour de l'aéroport, attendant près de 45 minutes pour voir le couple partir; mais ils sont venus trop tôt à un vol prévu plus tôt que le leur. Le personnel de l'aéroport ont expliqué à la foule désappointée que Marilyn et Joe n'avaient pas prévu de partir à une heure si tardive, permettant ainsi de disperser la foule qui repart et laisser le champ libre au couple qui a pu prendre son avion sans être importuné.

Joe, Marilyn and O'Doul decide to bring forward their departure, as the fans on the island are so uncontrollable. They take the Pan American plane to Tokyo on the night of January 31 to Fébruary 1st (their flight is at 2:00 a.m. on February 1st), arriving in Tokyo (Haneda airport) at 3:05 p.m. on February 1 (Tokyo time and date).
A few hours before their departure, around a hundred people gathered around the airport, waiting nearly 45 minutes to see the couple leave; but they came too early to a flight scheduled earlier than theirs. The airport staff explained to the disappointed crowd that Marilyn and Joe had not planned to leave at such a late hour, thus allowing the departing crowd to disperse and leave the field clear for the couple who were able to catch their plane without being bothered.

Lune de miel au Japon
Honeymoon in Japan

.
Lundi 01er février 1954
Monday, February 1st, 1954
.

L'arrivée à l'aéroport: A Haneda, l'aéroport international de Tokyo, entre 4000 et 5000 fans de cinéma et de base-ball se sont infiltrés sur la piste de l'aéroport sans autorisation et attendent l'arrivée de Marilyn Monroe et Joe Di Maggio, accompagnés de Lefty O'Doul. Prévu pour arriver à 13h45, l'avion de la Pan American parti d'Honolulu (à Hawaii) atterit à 17h40 (heure du Japon), en raison d'intempéries. Un employé de la Pan Am dira aux reporters que "avec Marilyn à bord, ça aurait pu être une cabine surchauffée." La foule s'agglutine sur le tarmac et s'impatiente à attendre dans un vent froid glacial; un jeune japonais dira néanmois que "Ça vaut la peine d'attendre". 
Marilyn, Joe et Lefty O'Doul descendent de l'avion et s'arrêtent sur la nacelle pour saluer la foule. Dans la foule, se trouvent des stars de cinéma japonaises (une 15aine dont l'actrice et chanteuse Fubuki Koshiji, l'actrice Yumeji Tsukioka, l'artiste Teruko Akira) et 20 étudiants de la Shochiku Opera Company qui sont là pour les accueillir avec des bouquets de fleurs. Les fans déchaînés parviennent à franchir les barricades et brisent des vitres. La foule hurle à tue-tête "Mon-Chan !" (qui peut se traduire par "Douce Fille") pour désigner Marilyn.
C'est en fait une foule en délire, complètement hystérique, où une centaine de personnes s'agglutine contre la rampe empêchant le couple de descendre, des japonais arrivent même à grimper sur la nacelle où le couple se tient; ils grimpent aussi sur le toit de la voiture décapotable qui les attend, allant jusqu'à presque la déplacer et risquant de la faire écraser sur le couple de stars; ils renversent les photographes japonais des escabeaux, poussent les journalistes, secouent les stars japonaises, et frappent même les dirigeants des compagnies aériennes américaines, dans l'unique but de s'approcher au plus près pour observer Marilyn et Joe.
La police japonaise ne parvenant pas à faire face, la police militaire américaine (les gardes de l'US Air Force) est appelée à intervenir. Un officier de la police japonaise va alors déclarer: "Si elle avait essayé de traverser cette foule, ils lui auraient probablement arraché tous ses vêtements."
.

The arrival at the airport: At Haneda, Tokyo's international airport, between 4,000 and 5,000 cinema and baseball fans have infiltrated the airport runway without authorization and await the arrival of Marilyn Monroe and Joe Di Maggio, accompanied by Lefty O'Doul. Scheduled to arrive at 1:45 p.m., the Pan American plane from Honolulu (in Hawaii) landed at 5:40 p.m (Japan time), due to bad weather. A Pan Am employee told reporters that "with Marilyn aboard it could have been an overheated cabin." The crowds gather on the tarmac and wait impatiently in a bitter cold wind; a young Japanese will nevertheless say that "It's worth waiting for".
Marilyn, Joe and Lefty O'Doul get off the plane and stop on the basket to greet the crowd. In the crowd, there are Japanese film stars (around 15 among actress and singer Fubuki Koshiji, actress Yumeji Tsukioka, artist Teruko Akira) and 20 students from the Shochiku Opera Company who are there to welcome them with bouquets of flowers. The raging fans manage to cross the barricades and break windows. The crowd screams at the top of their lungs “Mon-Chan!” (which can be translated as “Sweet Girl”) to designate Marilyn.
It is in fact a delirious crowd, completely hysterical, where a hundred people crowd against the ramp preventing the couple from getting off, some Japanese even manage to climb onto the basket where the couple is standing; they also climb on the roof of the convertible car that is waiting for them, almost moving it and risking having it crash into the star couple; they knocked the Japanese photographers off the stepladders, pushed the journalists, shook the Japanese stars, and even hit the executives of the American airlines, with the sole aim of get as close as possible to observe Marilyn and Joe.
The Japanese police being unable to cope, the American military police (the US Air Force guards) are called to intervene. A Japanese police officer then declares: "If she had tried through that mob, they would probably have torn all her clothes off."

Marilyn, désorientée mais conservant son éternel sourire et saluant les admirateurs, reste une vingtaine de minutes sur les marches de la nacelle. Joe remonte dans l'avion et la ramène à l'intérieur. Face à la dangerosité de ces fans en furie, on demande à Marilyn, Joe et Lefty d'aller se réfugier dans la soute à bagages de l'avion, le temps de mettre en place un service de sécurité renforcé. 
.
Quelques journalistes sont conviés à monter à bord de l'avion pendant quelques minutes. Marilyn refuse de s'exprimer. Un officier de la police militaire dira qu'elle était "malade" à cause du voyage en avion, mais aussi à la vue de la violence de l'accueil.
Plusieurs soldats postés en Corée vont parler à la presse dès l'arrivée de Marilyn Monroe au Japon, à travers Robert Pennell, correspondant du service de presse internationale en Corée, sollicitant tous sa venue en Corée:
- Pfc J.G. Ulieny, 21 ans, de Chicago dit: "Au diable ces troupes basées au Japon. Amenez Marilyn ici où elle est vraiment appréciée. Cette fille ferait vraiment fondre un peu de glace autour de ces bunkers. Marilyn est notre pin-up préférée."
- Cpl Robert R. Woodbury, 21 ans, de Flushing (NY), dit: "Joe a toujours été mon idole. Mais après qu'un gars soit resté figé en Corée pendant un moment, il change parfois d'idole. Faisons venir Marilyn ici, par tous les moyens. Remettez Joe aux femmes dans la Marine du Japon."
- Sgt Gilbert E Postelle, 25 ans, de Talihina (Okla), dit: "Voyons comment cette blonde réchaufferait un régiment entier."
- Pfc Walter Henry Steen, 20 ans, de Brooklyn, dit: "La photo de Marilyn est sur pratiquement tous les casiers et bunkers de Corée. Elle devrait venir ici et recevoir les hommages de ses fans."
- Pfc Johnny Jones, 21 ans, de Tacoma (Wash), dit que : "C'est merveilleux de savoir qu'une femme comme Marilyn existe."
Puis face aux réactions des propos des GI's reportés dans la presse, Marilyn prend la parole le lendemain (le 02 février) et souligne qu'elle est en lune de miel et qu'elle souhaite découvrir au maximum le Japon, déclarant: "J'adorerais aller en Corée et j'attends d'y aller depuis longtemps, mais j'ai peur de ne pas pouvoir faire ce voyage."
La presse nommera Joe comme "le mec de la poupée" ou encore "l'ourson Joe" ! Il passe en second plan pour les reporters et auprès des admirateurs (japonais et américains); tandis que Lefty O Doul passe de son côté complètement inaperçu alors que ce sont bien les deux ex-star de base-ball qui étaient les invités d'honneur à l'origine. Marilyn est la star que tout le monde veut voir.
.
Marilyn, disoriented but maintaining her eternal smile and greeting admirers, remains for around twenty minutes on the steps of the basket. Joe gets back on the plane and brings her back inside. Faced with the danger of these furious fans, Marilyn, Joe and Lefty are asked to take refuge in the baggage hold of the plane, while a reinforced security service is put in place.
.
Some reporters are invited to board the plane for a few minutes. Marilyn refuses to speak. A military police officer will say she was "sick" because of the plane trip, but also because of the violence at the reception.
Several soldiers stationed in Korea will speak to the press as soon as Marilyn Monroe arrives in Japan, through Robert Pennell, International News Service correspondent in Korea, all requesting her visit to Korea:
- Pfc J.G. Ulieny, 21, from Chicago says: "The hell with those base troops in Japan. Get Marilyn over here where she's really appreciated. That gal would really melt some of the ice around these bunkers. Marilyn is our favorite pinup girl."
- Cpl Robert R. Woodbury, 21, from Flushing (NY), says: "Joe's always been my idol. But after a guy has frozen in Korea for a while, sometimes he changes idols. Let's have Marilyn over here by all means . Turn Joe over to the women Marines in Japan."
- Sgt Gilbert E Postelle, 25, from Talihina (Okla), says: "Just seeign that blonde would warm an entire regiment."
- Pfc Walter Henry Steen, 20, from Brooklyn, says: "Marilyn's picture is on practically every locker box and bunker hall in Korea. She ought to come here and receive the homage of her fans."
- Pfc Johnny Jones, 21, from Tacoma (Wash.), says: "It's wonderful just to know that a woman like Marilyn exists."
Then faced with the reactions to the GI's comments reported in the press, Marilyn spoke the next day (February 2) and emphasizes that she is on her honeymoon and that she wants to discover Japan as much as possible, declaring: "I'd love to go to Korea and have been waiting to go for a long time, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this trip."
The press will refer to Joe as "The doll's guy" or even "Pooh Joe"!. He takes a back seat to reporters and admirers (Japanese and American); while Lefty O Doul goes completely unnoticed even though it was the two ex-baseball stars male who were the guests of honor originally. Marilyn is the star everyone wants to see.
.

.
Ces photos ont été prises dans la soute de l'avion par Kashio Aoki qui était stewart de la Pan Am et qui a aidé Joe et Marilyn pendant le vol; le couple l'autorise à prendre quelques photos avec son appareil personnel. Pendant plus d'un demi siècle, Aoki avait gardait ces photos dans son album personnel dédié à la mémoire de Marilyn. Ce n'est qu'à la fin du XXème siècle qu'Aoki céda les droits en revendant ses photos à la société Edward Weston Collection. 
.
These photos were taken in the hold of the plane by Kashio Aoki who was a Pan Am steward and helped Joe and Marilyn during the flight; the couple allows him to take a few photos with his personal camera. For more than half a century, Aoki had kept these photos in his personal album dedicated to Marilyn's memory. It was only at the end of the 20th century that Aoki ceded the rights by reselling his photos to the Edward Weston Collection company.

Des officiels de la compagnie aérienne et de l'industrie du cinéma décident de faire éviter la douane et l'acceuil organisé au couple et de les amener au plus vite à leur hôtel.
Il était initialement prévu que Joe et Marilyn fassent la route de l'aéroport jusqu'à l'hôtel (une 30aine de km) dans une voiture décapotable à travers un itinéraire déterminé (Shinbashi - Tsuchibashi - Yomiuri Honmae - Kajibashi - Baba Sakimon - Hôtel Impérial)  où leurs admirateurs japonais auraient pu les apercevoir tout le long de la route. Marilyn refuse de monter dans la décapotable; elle lève les yeux et dit sèchement: "je ne suis pas une pièce maîtresse", ce à quoi elle présentera ses excuses plus tard, en expliquant qu'elle avait "un léger état grippal". Avec la violence de la foule, il est décidé d'amener à la porte de sortie de la soute de l'avion la voiture avec la capote fermée, escortée par une ligne de voitures de police qui doivent traverser la foule. Après avoir attendu 20 minutes, Joe, Marilyn, et les O'Doul refont une tentative de sortie. La foule bondit en avant, mais la police parvient à dégager un passage pour qu'ils puissent monter dans la voiture. Le chaos se déchaîne à nouveau, et plusieurs personnes dans la foule essayent d'ouvrir la portière. Pendant que la police tente de les retenir, d'autres parviennent à monter sur le toit de la voiture, menaçant de faire tomber le toit sur le couple à l'intérieur ! Le toit de la voiture sera tout cabossé.
Et l'itinéraire pour rejoindre l'hôtel est modifié. Des dizaines de milliers d'admirateurs (on parle jusqu'à 100 000 personnes) bordent les routes et submergent le couple de bouquets de fleurs. Des hordes de policiers escortent la voiture jusqu'à l'Imperial Hotel, où les attendent là aussi, une foule toute aussi excitée..
.

Airline and motion picture officials decide to have the couple avoid customs and the organized reception and to bring them to their hotel as quickly as possible.
It was initially planned that Joe and Marilyn would drive from the airport to the hotel (about 20 miles) in a convertible car along a predetermined road (Shinbashi - Tsuchibashi - Yomiuri Honmae - Kajibashi - Baba Sakimon - Imperial Hotel)  where their Japanese admirers would be able to see them all the way along the road. Marilyn refuses to get into the convertible; she looks up and says dryly, "I'm not a showpiece", to which she later apologizes, explaining that she had "a slight touch of the flu". With the violence of the crowd, it was decided to bring the car with the hood closed to the exit door of the plane's hold, escorted by a line of police cars which had to pass through the crowd. After waiting 20 minutes, Joe, Marilyn, and the O'Douls try to get out again. The crowd surged forward, but the police managed to clear a path so they could get into the car. Chaos breaks out again, and several people in the crowd try to open the door. While the police try to detain them, others manage to climb onto the roof of the car, threatening to bring the roof down on the couple inside! The roof of the car will be all dented.
And the route to reach the hotel is modified. Tens of thousands of admirers (we're talking up to 100,000 people) line the roads and shower the couple with bouquets of flowers. Hordes of police escort the car to the Imperial Hotel, where an equally excited crowd awaits them there too.

L'hôtel Imperial: Devant le chic et luxueux hôtel Imperial de Tokyo, qui se trouve en plein centre ville, une autre immense foule d'admirateurs attend le couple stars qui arrive à 22h. Cette fois, deux lignes de policiers (environ 200 policiers) les retiennent en arrière pour les tenir à distance de l'entrée de l'hôtel. Mais près d'un millier de personnes parviennent à atteindre les portes de l'hôtel, certains se retrouvent coincés dans les portes tournantes. La police les repousse, mais le poids de cette foule tourbillonnante brise une porte vitrée dans le hall ainsi que des rochers dans le jardin rocailleux entourant l'hôtel, pendant que d'autres poussent plusieurs personnes dans un étang glacé dans le jardin de l'hôtel. Un policier dira: "Avec cette femme, il faut prendre plus de précautions qu'avec Syngman Rhee." [nb: Rhee était le Président de la Corée].

The Imperial Hotel: In front of the chic and luxurious Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which is located in the city center, another huge crowd of admirers awaits the star couple who arrive at 10 p.m. This time, two lines of police officers (around 200 officers) hold them back to keep them away from the hotel entrance. But nearly a thousand people manage to reach the hotel doors, some getting stuck in the revolving doors. Police push them back, but the weight of the swirling crowd shatters a glass door in the hall and rocks in the rocky garden surrounding the hotel, while others push several people into an icy pond in the hotel's garden. A policeman will say: "With this woman, we must take more precautions than we did with Syngman Rhee." [nb: Rhee was the President of Korea].

Il était prévu une fête d'accueil à l'arrivée de Marilyn Monroe,  Joe Di Maggio, et Lefty O'Doul; ainsi qu'une conférence de presse à 20h dans une chambre de l'hôtel. Mais face à ces événements d'une foule trop dangereuse, de la fatigue de Marilyn et du retard de leur arrivée, la conférence de presse prévue a été reportée au lendemain.
.
A welcome party was planned for the arrival of Marilyn Monroe, Joe Di Maggio, and Lefty O'Doul; as well as a press conference at 8 p.m. in a hotel room. But faced with these events of a crowd too gangerous, Marilyn's weariness and the delay in their arrival, the planned press conference was postponed until the next day.
.

.
Il y aura tout de même un accueil formel et une brève conférence de presse dans la cohue d'une salle de l'hôtel, où se tiennent bon nombre de reporters photographes et journalistes.

.
There will still be a formal welcome and a brief press conference in the crowded room of the hotel, where a number of photographers and journalists are present.

Les fans réunis à l'extérieur devant l'hôtel continuent à scander le nom de Marilyn, surnommé au Japon "The honorable buttocks-swinging Madam" ("L'honorable madame aux fesses qui swinguent").
Marilyn et Joe séjournent dans deux suites de l'hôtel Imperial: la n°244 qui est la chambre et la n°248 qui est un salon de réception.

 Quand Marilyn regagne sa chambre, elle se met au lit car en plus d'être épuisée du voyage et du stress des conditions de l'arrivée sur le sol Japonais, elle souffre de maux d'estomac (en fait, d'endométriose chronique, une maladie non diagnostiquée à l'époque). Un médecin est appelé et lui propose de faire une injection mais elle refuse. M. Tokujiro Namikoshi, praticien et grand maître de Shiatsu, est alors appelé (cf photo ci-contre Namikoshi avec Muhammad Ali) - il a été recommandé par Lefty O'Doul qui avait eu son dos soigné par Namikoshi lors de sa venue au Japon en 1951. Quand il entre dans la chambre, il trouve Marilyn allongée sur le lit, vêtue d'une robe de soie violette. Il lui demande d'enlever sa nuisette (il restera le seul japonais à avoir vu Marilyn entièrement nue), de s'allonger sur le ventre, et il se met à califourchon sur son dos, pour faire un point de pression sous l'omoplate gauche (point stratégique en relation avec le ventre). Il témoignera: "Lorsque j'ai appliqué une pression plus forte, elle a légèrement gémi. J'ai concentré toute mon attention sur le bout de mes doigts (...) faisant même une prière. Je pense avoir maintenu la pression pendant environ 10 minutes. J'ai su que sa douleur avait disparu en voyant ses muscles, qui s'étaient raidis à cause de la douleur, se relâcher et ses membres se décontracter. (...) Puis j'ai glissé ma main jusqu'à sa taille et c'est seulement à ce moment là que j'ai eu le privilège d'admirer son corps. Et quel corps merveilleux ! Une peau de porcelaine blanche, sans défaut, la rendait encore plus belle que la peau enneigée d'une japonaise. (...) J'ai été en contact avec des peaux de milliers de femmes dans le cadre de mon activité, mais je n'ai jamais connu personne avec une peau comme celle-ci. J'ai tenu son cou et ses épaules. Je sens une petite bosse dans la nuque, une caractéristique de l'insomnie. Elle se retourne sur le dos, et quelle vue éblouissante ! Des courbes exquises de son torse mince et à sa taille plus voluptueuse avec un petit ventre rebondi. En remontant à la verticale du nombril jusqu'au bas ventre, je lui met un mouchoir sur son entre-jambes. Je dois éviter de nouvelles distractions ! J'ai fait une pression sur sa cuisse, en haut, de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur avec un déplacement de la gauche vers la droite, ce qui a permis de détendre la plante des pieds, la tête, la poitrine puis le sein.
Les gens m'ont souvent demandé par la suite si je ne m'étais pas senti comme un homme à ce moment là. Je réponds qu'il n'y a aucune plaisanterie à faire (...) je pense que l'excitation que j'ai ressenti se situait au bout de mes doigts. C'était vraiment le plaisir du toucher des doigts, de l'extase".
Marilyn se rétablie et les douleurs au ventre ont disparu. C'est alors que Cappy Harada (Tsuneo "Cappy" Harada est le manager qui arrangeait les tournées de base-ball au Japon avec Joe et O'Doul) est entré et a demandé une faveur à Marilyn: "Je suis désolé Marilyn, mais pourriez-vous sortir et venir sur le balcon pour faire signe juste une fois, pour qu'ils repartent heureux ?" Marilyn accepte; elle se rhabille immédiatement. Elle fait donc une apparition sur le balcon de l'hôtel vers minuit, pour tenter de calmer la foule qui rugit et s'excite davantage, criant "Wow" et "Mon-Chan!" pour désigner Marilyn, applaudissant: deux japonais essayent même d'escalader le mur de briques. La police les attrape pour les mettre à terre. Choquée, Marilyn déclare que "Ces gens, ils sont fous" et son salue au balcon la fait ressentir "comme si j'étais un dictateur ou un truc de ce genre."
.

.
Fans gathered outside the hotel continue to chant Marilyn's name, nicknamed in Japan "The honorable buttocks-swinging Madam".
Marilyn and Joe are staying in two suites at the Imperial Hotel: n° 244 which is the bedroom and n° 248 which is a reception room.

When Marilyn goes to her room, she goes to bed because in addition to being exhausted from the trip and the stress of the conditions of arrival on Japanese soil, she suffers from stomach aches (in fact, from chronic endometriosis, an illness undiagnosed at the time). A doctor is called and offers to give her an injection but she refuses. Mr. Tokujiro Namikoshi, practitioner and great master of Shiatsu, is then called (see photo opposite Namikoshi with Muhammad Ali) - he was recommended by Lefty O'Doul who had his back treated by Namikoshi when he came to Japan in 1951. When he enters the bedroom, he finds Marilyn lying on the bed, wearing a purple silk dress. He asks her to take off her nightie (he will remain the only Japanese to have seen Marilyn completely naked), to lie down on her stomach, and he straddles her back, to make a pressure point under the shoulder blade left (strategic point in relation to the stomach). He will testify: "When I applied stronger pressure, she moaned slightly. I focused all my attention on the tips of my fingers (...) even saying a prayer. I think I maintained the pressure for about 10 minutes. I knew her pain was gone when I saw her muscles, which had stiffened from the pain, relax and her limbs relax. (...) Then I slid my hand up to her size and it was only then that I had the privilege of admiring her body. And what a wonderful body! White porcelain skin, without blemish, made her even more beautiful than the snowy skin of a Japanese woman. (...) I have come into contact with the skin of thousands of women in the course of my work, but I have never known anyone with skin like this. I held her neck and her shoulders. I feel a small bump in the back of her neck, a hallmark of insomnia. She turns onto her back, and what a dazzling sight! From the exquisite curves of her slim torso to her more voluptuous waist with a little plump belly. Going vertically from the navel to the lower abdomen, I put a handkerchief on his crotch. I must avoid new distractions! I put pressure on her thigh, at the top, from the inside to the outside with a movement from left to right, which allowed me to relax the soles of the feet, the head, the chest and then the breast.
People often asked me afterward if I didn't feel like a man at that time. I answer that there is no joke to be made (...) I think that the excitement I felt was at the tips of my fingers. It was truly the pleasure of the touch of the fingers, the ecstasy."
Marilyn is recovering and the stomach pains have disappeared. That's when Cappy Harada (Tsuneo "Cappy" Harada is the manager who arranged baseball tours to Japan with Joe and O'Doul) comee in and asks Marilyn for a favor: "I'm sorry Marilyn, but could you go out and come to the balcony and wave just once, so they can leave happy?” Marilyn accepts; she gets dressed immediately. She therefore makes an appearance on the hotel balcony around midnight, to try to calm the crowd which is roaring and getting more excited, shouting "Wow" and “Mon-Chan!” to designate Marilyn, applause: two Japanese people even try to climb the brick wall. The police catch them to put them on the ground. Shocked, Marilyn declares that "These people, they're mad" and her salute from the balcony made her feel "as if I was a dictator of something".

Lune de miel au Japon
Honeymoon in Japan

.
Vendredi 05 février 1954
Friday, February 5, 1954
.

Le praticien et maître de Shiatsu, M. Tokujiro Namikoshi est revenu soigner Marilyn Monroe, certainement à l'hôtel Imperial de Tokyo où elle séjourne.
Puis elle se rend au salon de beauté de l'armée pour y suivre un grand soin de beauté (coiffure, manucure, pedicure) et de détente (avec massages et soins du visage), qui la mettra 30 minutes en retard pour se rendre à l'hôpital militaire américain de Tokyo (l'hôpital n° 8167 réquisitionné par l'armée, qui a été depuis renommé "Hôpital International St Luke" qui se trouve à 2,2 km de l'hôtel Imperial). C'est en effet sa première visite dans un hôpital militaire depuis son arrivée au Japon et Marilyn, encore fatiguée, veut y apparaître en pleine forme et physiquement au top de sa beauté.
.
The practitioner and master of Shiatsu, Mr. Tokujiro Namikoshi returns to treat Marilyn Monroe, certainly at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo where she is staying.
Then she goes to the Army beauty parlor to undergo a major beauty treatment (hairstyle, manicure, pedicure) and relaxation (with massages and facial treatments), which will make her 30 minutes late to get to the American military hospital in Tokyo (Hospital No. 8167 requisitioned by the army, which has since been renamed "St Luke's International Hospital" which is 2.2 km from the Imperial Hotel). It is in fact her first visit to a military hospital since her arrival in Japan and Marilyn, still tired, wants to appear there in great shape and physically at the top of her beauty.

vue de l'hôpital (1950s)

.
A l'hôpital, elle discute avec les blessés, leur livre des mots d'encouragement, leur serre tous la main, se laisse embrasser par les soldats, signe des autographes (pour un soldat, elle signe son plâtre; pour un autre, elle signe son carnet de dessins), pose en photos pour ceux qui ont des appareils. Sa venue est filmée et les images seront diffusées dans les actualités aux USA.
Sa visite a été saluée comme "le meilleur traitement depuis la pénicilline."
.
At the hospital, she talks with the wounded, gives them words of encouragement, shakes all their hands, lets herself be kissed by the soldiers, signs autographs (for one soldier, she signs his cast; for another, she signs his sketchbook), poses for photos for those who have cameras. Her arrival is filmed and the images will be broadcast on the news in the USA.
Her visit was hailed as "the greatest curative since penicillin was discovered."

Ce qui frappe à la vue des images de cette visite est qu'au sein de l'hôpital, il n'y a aucune différence de traitement racial des soldats blessés: l'Amérique était en effet encore ségregationniste en ce début des années 1950s où, sur le territoire américain, les noirs n'étaient pas mélangés avec les blancs. Et Marilyn discute, serre les mains et embrasse avec autant d'enthousiasme les soldats noirs que les blancs. Elle va même s'accroupir par terre pour discuter avec un soldat noir immobilisé et allité dans un lit sur le ventre. Dans l'hôpital, il y a aussi des femmes et des enfants qui sont soignés, que Marilyn va aussi rencontrer.
.
What is striking when viewing the images of this visit is that within the hospital, there is no difference in racial treatment of wounded soldiers: America was in fact still segregationist at the beginning of the 1950s where, on American territory, blacks were not mixed with whites. And Marilyn chats, shakes hands and kisses the black soldiers as enthusiastically as the white ones. She will even crouch on the ground to chat with a black soldier who is immobilized and bedridden in a bed on his stomach.
In the hospital, there are also women and children who are being treated, whom Marilyn will also meet.

Les soldats se sont impatientés de son arrivée: le caporal Donald Wakehouse (de l'Iowa), 22 ans, avait été fait prisonnier puis relâché. Hospitalisé, il doit prendre un avion ce jour là qui va le rapatrier aux USA. Mais il souhaite ardemment aussi voir Marilyn: "J'aimerais la voir. Mais je ne veux pas rater cet avion." Il dit aussi que sa femme Louise, qui l'attend dans l'Iowa "est beaucoup mieux à mes yeux" comparée à Marilyn (sans doute il souhaite rassurer sa femme qu'il va bientôt retrouver et qu'il n'a pas vu depuis 2 ans). Marilyn va se diriger directement vers le lit de Wakehouse, qui reste allité, et elle lui dit: "Je suis contente de vous voir." Wakehouse suit un traitement contre l'ostéomyélite, une maladie des os, et montre à Marilyn le plâtre qui couvre son corps de la taille aux pieds. Pour détendre l'atmosphère, Marilyn lui dit :"Regardez, j'ai un pouce cassé aussi" et lui montre l'attelle de son pouce. Et Wakehouse demande à Marilyn qu'elle lui signe un autographe sur son plâtre qu'elle signe par "Love and Kisses, Marilyn Monroe". Elle l'invite à venir lui rendre visite -elle et Joe DiMaggio- à San Francisco, ce à quoi répond Wakehouse: "Je vais devoir clarifier ça avec Louise."
.
The soldiers were impatient with his arrival: Corporal Donald Wakehouse (from Iowa), 22, had been taken prisoner and then released. Hospitalized, he must take a plane that day which will repatriate him to the USA. But he also ardently wishes to see Marilyn: "I'd like to see her. But I don't want to miss that plane." He also says that his wife Louise, who is waiting for him in Iowa "looks better to me" compared to Marilyn (no doubt he wants to reassure his wife that he will soon be reunited and that he has not seen for 2 years ). Marilyn goes straight to Wakehouse's bed, who remains bedridden, and she says to him: "I'm glad to see you." Wakehouse is undergoing treatment for osteomyelitis, a bone disease, and shows Marilyn the cast that covers his body from the waist down. To lighten the mood, Marilyn says to him: "Look, I've got a broken thumb, too" and shows him the splint on her thumb. And Wakehouse asks Marilyn to sign an autograph on his cast which she signs with "Love and Kisses, Marilyn Monroe". She invites him to come visit her - and Joe DiMaggio - in San Francisco, to which Wakehouse answers: "I'll have to clear that with Louise."

 Pour discuter avec le Pvt (Private First Class) Albert Evans (de l'Ohio), qui est immobilisé dans son lit dans une position tête en bas (il doit resté allongé sur le ventre), Marilyn s'allonge par terre pour discuter avec lui. Il souffre de fractures au dos suite à un accident de Jeep survenu en Corée le 11 janvier.

To chat with Pvt (Private First Class) Albert Evans (from Ohio), who is immobilized in his bed in a head-down position (he must have remained lying on his stomach), Marilyn lies down on the floor to chat with him. He suffered back fractures following a Jeep accident in Korea on January 11.

 Le look de Marilyn: Pour sa tenue, elle a choisi de porter une robe de couleur unie échancrée au décolleté qui semble assez fine, avec une large ceinture duveteuse à motif de peau de vache, mais elle gardera toujours son manteau de fourrure qu'elle laisse ouvert. Aux pieds, elle porte des chaussures à talons noires fermées aux bouts et qui semblent être en daim. Côté bijoux, elle a des boucles d'oreilles pendantes. En fait, elle arbore exactement le même look que lors des photographies d'identification prises pour sa carte de matricule qui comportait le panneau avec la date du 04 février. Il est donc possible que ces photos aient été prises le 05 février, avec l'information antidatée, pour correspondre avec la date de la demande officielle et les papiers qui auraient été établis la veille.
.

.
Marilyn's style: For her outfit, she chooses to wear a one color dress scooped neckline that looks quite fine, with a wide fluffy belt with a cowhide pattern, but she will always keep her fur coat which she leaves open. On her feet, she wears black heeled shoes with closed ends and which appear to be made of suede. As for jewelry, she has dangling earrings. In fact, she is dressed exactly the same way as in the identification photographs taken for her registration card which included the panel with the date February 4. It is therefore possible that these photos were taken on February 5, with the information backdated, to correspond with the date of the official request and the papers which would have been established the day before.
.

.
C'est aussi dans cet hôpital militaire qu'on lui aurait fait plusieurs vaccins en prévision de son départ pour sa tournée en Corée (qui s'effectuera du 16 au 19 février). Il est possible que ce soit Bobby Brown, ancien joueur de base-ball et ami de Joe DiMaggio qui suit le couple pendant leur voyage au Japon et qui est médecin interne dans cet hôpital, qui lui a administré les injections contre le Typhus, le Choléra et le Tétanos.
.
It is also in this military hospital that she was given several vaccinations in anticipation of her departure for her tour in Korea (which will take place from February 16 to 19). It is possible that it was Bobby Brown, former baseball player and friend of Joe DiMaggio who followed the couple during their trip to Japan and who is an internal doctor in this hospital, who administered the injections against Typhus, Cholera and Tetanus.

De leur côté, Joe DiMaggio et Lefty O'Doul ont quitté Tokyo dans la matinée pour se rendre à Kawana, dans la ville d'Ito, préfecture de Shizuoka. Réputé pour être une station de golf, Joe et Lefty en profitent pour jouer au golf.

Après sa visite à l'hôpital, Marilyn quitte Tokyo pour se rendre à Kawana, pour y retrouver Joe. A peine arrivée à l'hôtel de Kawana, Marilyn va rester au lit, car elle souffre toujours de maux de ventre. Joe DiMaggio dit à la presse que son état de santé est du à l'excitation du voyage et à des tensions nerveuses.

After her visit to the hospital, Marilyn leaves Tokyo to go to Kawana, to find Joe there. Barely arriving at Kawana's hotel, Marilyn goes to stay in bed, because she still suffers from stomach aches. Joe DiMaggio told the press that her state of health was due to the excitement of the trip and nervous tension.
.

 Kazuko Komori, une célèbre critique de cinéma connue sous le nom de "la Tante de Komori" et qui connait bien le milieu Hollywoodien (cf photo ci-contre Komori avec Frank Sinatra), accompagne Marilyn et passera aussi la nuit à l'hôtel Kawana.
Marilyn, Joe et Lefty resteront trois jours à Kawana, passant les deux nuits à l'hôtel Kawana; Marilyn et Joe sont dans la chambre n°316. Pour le dîner, Marilyn a commandé un steak d'agneau fin et sec, de la salade et du thé au citron sucré.

Kazuko Komori, a famous film critic known as "Komori's Aunt" and who knows the Hollywood stars (see photo above Komori with Frank Sinatra), is accompanying Marilyn and will also spend the night at the Kawana Hotel.
Marilyn, Joe and Lefty will stay in Kawana for three days, spending both nights at the Kawana Hotel; Marilyn and Joe are in room n°316. For dinner, Marilyn ordered a thin, dry lamb steak, salad and sweet lemon tea.
