Finished reading Clara Bow: Runnin' Wild by David
Stenn. A good biography, sympathetically told. I would love to see a
picture book devoted to her. Clara Bow was so lovely, and such a gifted,
natural actress. She is one of my favorite silent film stars.
A cinephilac blog about an actress, silent film, and the Jazz Age, with occasional posts
about related books, music, art, and history written by Thomas Gladysz. Visit the

Trip to Sacramento
Depending on (the war and) how things go, I plan to travel to the
California State Library in Sacramento next week. (I live in San
Francisco, and Sacramento is about 100 miles away. It's a two hour
drive.) This will be my fifth trip to the State Library, which is a
major repository of California newspapers on microfilm. To date, I have
been able to survey newspapers from most all of the major metropolitan
areas in California. (See the various bibliographies for the citations and material that has been collected so far.) On this trip, I hope to dig through the Pasadena Star-News and La Opinion
(a Spanish-language newspaper based in Los Angeles) for the period of
the mid-to-late 1920's. I will be looking for film reviews and other
articles. If there is enough time, I may also look at the papers for
Long Beach and Santa Monica.

Site redesign
A comprehensive redesign and site rebuild is underway. (This page is an
example of the new look which most every page on the LBS will eventually
assume.) The implementation of the rebuild will take some time, as the
size of the Louise Brooks Society now stands at more than 200 pages. The
intention of this redesign is to give the LBS a more up-to-date look.
Also, some outside links - notably the old translation module at the
bottom of every page, were no longer functioning. A comprehensive site
rebuild will fix broken links, conform site code to current html
standards, and give the overall site a cleaner, more contemporary feel.
