Times Jumbo 1009

[MCC]

26 across - "Popular cutting rested on bottom drawer showing singer (7)" - S?N?T?A. Clearly, it's SINATRA, but I can't figure out the wordplay - can anyone help, please?

[boxtops]

The only part I can see is IN = popular, but I can't yet see the SATRA part...

[mac44]

in inside sat + ra.

[emeritus]

Can see

AT =On
RA = Artist/drawer

[Delaval]

IN inside SAT (rested on bottom) RA (artist, drawer,Royal Academician).

[boxtops]

Ah - I see SAT = Rested - but RA (usually a painter reference)?

[boxtops]

[MCC]

Thanks, Delaval - and everyone else!
