    Boater faction!

    Thanks, but I have a giant head (7 5/8, but extra long oval, so I'd have to find a 7 3/4 or even 7 7/8 -- who knows, maybe even an 8). Even if one turned up, it'd surely go for an untenable (for me) price.

    Boater faction!

    Anyone have experience with Dorfman Pacific's Scala boaters? This vendor has them at what seems to be a good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290826532360&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

    After Tragedy, Young Girl Shipped West On 'Orphan Train'

    Laura Moriarty's recent novel The Chaperone detailed the experiences of a character who was sent west via an orphan train (she ended up in Kansas). It also involved a teenaged Louise Brooks.

    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    Really? You don't think men might have genuinely found Cruise's comments wrongheaded and offensive?

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm late to say it, but I too love the new Mitchum Way hat. I'm a big fan of FAREWELL, MY LOVELY and have long admired the hat Robert Mitchum wears in it.

    Is Tom Cruise finished?

    Cruise has certainly been as big a contemporary star as Bogart ever was, but his legacy is as yet undetermined. Bogart posthumously made the transformation from a star of a given era to a Hollywood legend and icon; not many manage that. I seriously doubt Cruise will prove to have the same...

    The New York "Heads Up" thread

    To the original poster: there are easily a half-dozen (and probably more) "I'm coming to NYC; where should I dine/shop/etc.?" threads that contain a wealth of info. I'll admit that, living in a place like NYC that so many people want to visit (and we're happy to have you!), one grows a little...

    World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra

    I saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra back in 1979 or '80. It's kind of crazy to think that nearly as much time has passed since then as had passed since Miller's passing when I saw the orchestra play.

    Best Straw Fedora hats?

    Does anyone in the US carry those poly-straws? I don't mind ordering from Australia, but all the larger sizes -- 63 and, when available, 64 -- seem to be three-month waits. That would leave me receiving my hat in August.

    Drop everything & Watch

    Intriguing to see so few pre-1970s films cited here. A love of classic cinema is mostly what inspired my interest in vintage clothes, furniture, housewares, music, etc., but it seems plenty of folks here are into vintage without being as fond of old movies.

    Phyllis Jeanne Creore, Canteen Girl

    Every Friday evening over NBC radio airwaves – or short-wave overseas – homesick troops during World War II were told to “drop in at the canteen” for comforting chat and songs by a pretty, young actress named Phyllis Jeanne Creore. “Here is your Canteen girl, Phyllis Jeanne,” a voice would...

    Hey LA Loungers: cool film related tours in LA?

    I'll admit to being more of a self-guided tour person, myself, and I am a big fan of Richard Alleman's Hollywood: The Movie Lover's Guide: The Ultimate Insider Tour of Movie L.A.; I highly recommend it. They should definitely take in a picture at Grauman's Chinese (now called TCL Chinese...
