  • In 1925, Eight Actors Were Dedicated to a Dream. Expatriated from Their Broadway Haunts by Constant Film Commitments, They Wante
    In 1925, eight actors were dedicated to a dream. Expatriated from their Broadway haunts by constant film commitments, they wanted to form a club here in Hollywood; a private place of rendezvous, where they could fraternize at any time. Their first organizational powwow was held at the home of Robert Edeson on April 19th. ”This shall be a theatrical club of love, loy- alty, and laughter!” finalized Edeson.

Too, she grew up quickly – being quite a big girl before her parts grew up to her. Almost any Jane Withers picture would be worth seeing for moments she would contribute but, by the later ones, the moments were farther and farther apart.” “She was born in Atlanta Georgia, April 12 1926, daughter of Walter Withers, an employee of a rubber manufacturing company, and a stage-struck mother, Lavinia Ruth Elble. Mrs Withers put her two-year old Jane in Atlanta’s Boston Academy to study tap, ballet and character dancing. Jane landed a regular spot on a radio show, “Aunt Sally’s Kiddie Review“, and later the child had her own show, billed as “Dixie’s Dainty Dewdrop“, doing imitations of W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, ZaSu Pitts and Maurice Chevalier. All this inspired her mother to take Jane to Modelling a raincoat Source: indeterminate website Hollywood in 1932, and her first job there was a $7.50 a day bit part in “HANDLE WITH CARE“. After she menaced Shirley Temple in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion entry: “BRIGHT EYES“, her salary jumped to $150 a week in 1934.

    I Legends of the tribe, Forth-into-the-Great-Sea-Water LEGEND ONE T was autumn 1919 and the leaves of the maples were red and yellow along the streams. A tribe destined to be called Forth- into-the-Great-Sea-Water came to the camping ground of the Delawares. One of the three tribes greeting them looked upon them with scorn. The new tribe must prove itself worthy to dwell on the camping ground. The scornful ones inflicted many tortures to test their bravery. One dark night they painted black the faces of the helpless maidens. They gave them many unkinId words. They made them wear ivory rattles about their necks. But before many suns had set the strangers acquired merit in the eyes of the scornful. * And the friendly ones were proud of the progress of the young tribe. One time before the sun rose to drive away the mists of the night, the maidens of Forth-into-the-Great-Sea-Water stole forth from their wigwams. They raised their banner bearing the mystic figures, '23, to the top of a tall pole. The scornful ones became more displeased. They tried many times to lower the hated banner of their enemy. When they could not succeed their anger increased. At last they called friendly braves down the trail to help them. One night the maidens who wore the rattles dressed as braves. They bade the other tribes to the Great Lodge for a night of dancing. Although this new tribe had now acquired much wisdom, it needed counsel.

    Old English Customs THE FAVERSHAM MOOT HORN. This horn served for the calling of local assemblies at Faversham, Kent, circa 1300. Old Snglish Customs Sxtant at the Present Time An Account of Local Observances^ Festival Customs^ and (Ancient Ceremonies yet Surviving in Great Britain By T. H. T)itchfield, 3U.A., F.S.A. London cK 1896 \v PREFACE I HE object of this work is to describe all the old customs which still linger on in the obscure nooks and corners of our native land, or which have survived the march of progress in our busy city's life. There are many books which treat of ancient customs, and repeat again the stories told by Brand, Hone, and other historians and as far antiquaries ; but, as we are aware, there is no book describing the actual folk-customs yet extant, which may be witnessed to-day by the folk-lorist and lover of rural manners. We have endeavoured to supply this want, and to record only those customs which time has spared. Undoubtedly the decay has been rapid. Many customs have vanished, quietly dying out without giving a sign. The present generation has witnessed the extinc- tion of many observances which our fathers practised and revered, and doubtless the v 286064 Preface progress of decay will continue. We have entered upon a diminished inheritance. Still it is surprising to find how much has been left how the race ; tenaciously English clings to that which habit and usage have estab- lished how ancient customs hold in ; sway the palace, the parliament, the army, the law courts, amongst educated people as well as unlearned rustics cluster ; how they around our social institutions, are enshrined in reli- and are law gious ceremonial, preserved by ; how carefully they have been guarded through the many ages of their existence, and how deeply rooted they are in the affections of the English people.
