Re: Book Reading
“Yay” in Pernod I’ve noticed the characters using this word frequently with apparently, a completely different meaning than it has today. In the passage below, it seems to be used to express derision, like “hogwash,” or something. But then sometimes they use it to greet each other. Odd. Do you remem...

Re: Favorite photos of silent stars
A promotional photo for The Wild Party (1929) I did not remember these costumes from the film, but yes, that's what they were wearing. :) Here is a photo of Cecil B. DeMille with actresses on the set of The Affairs of Anatol . The actresses include Agnes Ayres, Bebe Daniels, Shannon Day, Julia Faye...

Re: Book Reading
Here are the three you mentioned you didn't remember. Thanks for the links. I think I may be interested in reading The Daughter of Fife soon. I'm still in Penrod now. Speaking of which... man, the racism in that book is horrendous, isn't it? He even refers to P's black friends as lower evolutionary...

Re: Book Reading
I was hoping Dawn O’Hara would be in there. I don’t remember mention of Patty, The Scarlet Coat, or A Daughter of Fife. I’ll have look back at those.
So I guess you’re saving the rest of Minnie to savor?

Re: Book Reading
The 60th, you're coming along! Off the top of your head, what was your favorite of them?

Louis Prima
This short, Swing Cats Jamboree , is from 1938 and features Louis Prima and his band. If his voice sounds familiar, thirty-some years after this, he voiced a character in a well-known Disney movie of the '60s. Can you guess who? :) This is the first I'd encountered of him and his act aside from that...

Re: Favorite photos of silent stars
Yes, I was surprised at that, also. Too bad it's not extant—a comparison between it and the Bow one might be interesting.BettyLouSpence wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 6:28 pmHuh, TIL that The Plastic Age had two silent adaptations. Thanks!

Re: Brace yourselves. Clara Bow is about to get a lot of attention.
Maybe there will be demand for Her Wedding Night and Kick In to see some type of commercial release. Not holding my breath, but... *crosses fingers* Hey, it could happen. That kind of spotlight from a major popular artist has the capability to get things moving. Maybe a dvd producer will see dollar...
