Ha Ha...Thanks FM.
Actually I think I'm just geographically lucky. There are many classic era celebrities living here. Eleanor Parker is just down the road and Jim Garner used to shop in the same grocery store we did. A few weeks ago Brian Setzer was eating Chinese food at the next...
Anyone familiar with this magazine?
I stumbled accross a mention about it on line yesterday so I looked it up. It's a current magazine about the times and actors of Hollywood's golden era. Some of the contributors are very interesting types and actual actors from the period like Jean Porter...
The casting is easy:
Humphrey Bogart
James Cagney
Jeffery Lynn
Priscilla Lane
Gladys George
Frank McHugh
It's impossible to improve on the perfection of Raoul Walsh's choices in 1939 when it was originally made.

Betty lived locally here in Palm Springs and was a very close friend of a good friend of mine.
My wife and I had the opportunity to meet her a few years ago at a social gathering for dinner at our friend's home. It was a quiet evening with just a few people. Betty was very nice and quite...
If this is the case for the character you've described then it would have to be very personal. No mystery, nothing vague, no killing by remote control. The responsible person would have to know their demise was a direct result of my (the character's) wanting them dead.
My thirst for...
Judging by those photos, I think the least changed city would have to be New Orleans.
Great shots.
I feel a certain melancholy looking at those earlier times. It makes me wish I could just enter the photo's time and place with all the American car lined streets, well dressed people and no...
Perhaps you didn't understand my first post or I didn't make myself clear enough. I am looking for a source to date a particular set. Be it a good antique store owner, an antique appraiser or what have you.
If I post pictures here, can't you clearly see, what I will get is what I already...
Thanks Miss Neecerie, but this is just what I'm trying to avoid. I've had many "guesses" from people who think they know antique furniture but, as sure as they are, I've received a 60 year spread from the 1890's to the 1950's, European to American. So you see my dilemma. Posting pics here...
Can anyone suggest a reliable opinion for dating vintage furniture? I have picked up an interesting parlor set. I'm not certain of the period and I've got many conflicting opinions so I'd like to find a definitive source.

This is not uncommon in young women (teens). I remember by daughter's concern with the same issue at about the same age. She's tall and grew fast. She was devastated but they were practically nothing to me. I told her they would certainly fade within a few years and they absolutely did just...
A friend, who knew I was cuckoo for vintage Hollywood, gave me this original occupancy certificate from the Vine Street Derby several years ago.
Penned very small into the wooden frame at the upper right hand corner are the words "coffee shop" and a telephone number.
Now 54 years old, it was...
