    What's for Dinner?

    Black eyed peas and rice make Hoppin John a traditional southern dish. From the Mason Dixon line all the way down to Tierra Del Fuego you will find some kind of bean and rice dish. Red beans and rice in Louisiana, Moors and Christians in Cuba, pigeon peas in the Carribean and so forth. Grain +...

    Question about fountain pens

    Yes it is especially with cheap pens. Get a good pen, do not fill too full, and be careful and you will probably be all right. Also carry the pen in your shirt pocket, it hurts less to throw away a stained shirt than ruin a suit.

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    I was surprised that Marie Dressler topped the Reel Classics list of stars for 1932 and 1933, and made the list for 1934 even though she died in July of that year. She was the farthest thing from a Hollywood glamor girl. She made her name as a comedienne on Broadway, where she was a star for...

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    I am familiar with Arrangement In Black And White. The woman he caricatured, and her kind, would never be seen in a Harlem jazz club although her children might. Have read several accounts by jazz fans and musicians who frequented jazz clubs in the twenties, thirties and forties and don't...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    It seems some old movies are in the public domain and some are not. Most "poverty row" movies, made by studios long defunct, seem to be in the public domain. But you frequently find that movies by major studios are only available from "pay" sites even if they are more than 50 years old. There is...

    Novels Set during Pacific Theater of WW2

    Tales Of The South Pacific by James Michener may be the best known, both as a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and as the basis for the musical South Pacific. A Town Like Alice or anything by Neville Shute highly recommended especially R101 aka Slide Rule which was partly about WW2 from the...

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    I don't know why you think white jazz fans would get a "frisson" from associating with maids. More likely they would think "good for them, they are having a good time". Being too good to associate with anyone who did manual labor, was the kind of Old World snobbery the jazz babies were happy to...

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    "Slumming" was a completely different pastime from visiting jazz clubs and bars. The typical "slumming" tour would include low Bowery dives patronized by sailors and prostitutes, cheap brothels, opium dens, and the like. They were more popular in the 1890s and early 1900s and went out of fashion...

    So Thursday night would be one of the "hot" nights to hit the clubs, along with Saturday night. Harlem renaissance http://www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/Harlem-Renaissance-1920s.html A night club map of Harlem, 1932 http://www.mikethibault.com/?p=11 This map gives a good idea of how New...

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    I always figured the original was written when jazz music first became popular with white audiences. In the 1920s "Harlem Renaissance" black music, poetry, art and writing found a mainstream audience for the first time. The song took advantage of the fad of going to Harlem jazz clubs to see the...

    Puttin' on the Ritz- it was that line that put it in my mind that Cooper was a major star.

    Who, overall, was the biggest (male) movie star of the Golden Era?

    Lizzie how did Gary Cooper stack up in the thirties? I had the impression he was one of the top stars, if not the top. But his movies have not stood the test of time.
