July Birthdays!
Happy July! July is a great month for talent, especially July 29th. Theda Bara, William Powell, Clara Bow, and Thelma Todd? What a special day to be born! As far as the next entry goes, I am stuck on who to cover! I am bouncing between Bobby Vernon, Edna Murphy, and Jewel Carmen (since I just finished a Thelma Todd biography.) Jewel will probably be next, but we shall see. Stay tuned for that! Rene Dary ~ July 1, 1905
I know all of these all of photographs are of show people. My father who was just regular people had his picture in custom also. Was this common in 1910-1930 ?
I think it could have been, Jill. The newish fad of photography, people wanted to have fancy and beautiful portraits of themselves. People all ended up looking like stars!

DeleteSo many great stars here. I'm loving the pictures as always. The one with Mary Philbin is a great one.
ReplyDeleteThat is my new favorite pic! I hadn't seen it before this post.
