Glorious Cinemascope and Stereophonic Sound
My spouse has written a cogent article on his weblog about Hollywood’s current obsession with 3D. Like color and wide screen, it’s all a matter of “been there, done that.”
On a related note, this image came off a vintage 1930 or so postcard folder of movie star homes which C. just bought. I spy Norma Shearer, Harold Lloyd, Will Rogers, Winnie Lightner, Joe E. Brown, Douglas Fairbanks and John Barrymore amongst the faces. See any others?
Fun! I could see:
Constance Bennett
Edmund Lowe
Charles Bickford
George Bancroft
Warner Baxter
Ronald Colman
Robert Montgomery
Marion Davies
John Barrymore
Maurice Chevalier
Mary Pickford
and (I think)
Chaplin (out of his tramp drag – just to the right of Norma Shearer) and Joan Crawford (below Chaplin – although that could possibly be Garbo)
Weirdly, there are two who strongly resemble Tom Cruise and Cher.
I LOVE pre-code movies.
Great finds! There’s also Colleen Moore (between Montgomery and Will Rogers) and Clara Bow (redhead just above center). The Crawford/Garbo woman could also be Gloria Swanson. She’s pretty generic looking!
