I love those candid ones. :D I wonder what picture this is from. And is she wearing glasses in the lower one??

Could be Three Weekends, which would place this in late 1928. In that last pic it could be glasses, but it also seems to be a strand of her hair that's blown across her face.

Cute photos! I don't think those are glasses.

Great photo. :D I wonder if that was made along about the time of Mickey.

I remember someone on the old GS board commenting that every photo of Mabel looks different, i.e., no two photos of her look like exactly the same person. I've since noticed that that's true. There must have been something unique about her facial features resulting in their being caught differently each time. See if you don't notice that.
