Wow, Louise Brooks seems to be more popular than ever.
On July 1st, Pandora's Box will be shown at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. That historic venue seats nearly 2,000 - and this special screening has been sold out for some time.
Hugh Munro Neely, director of the 1998 Emmy-nominated documentary Louise Brooks: Looking for Lulu, will host the evening. Acclaimed organist Robert Israel will accompany Pandora’s Box on the Mighty Wurlitzer. And Hugh Hefner, Playboy founder, film buff, and a longtime fan of the actress, is sponsor.
My just published article on the event can be found on examiner.com. Please take a look.

Local coverage today from NBC Los Angeles notes, "Tonight's movie is 'Pandora's Box,' and it features a comely Louise Brooks. Those severe bangs make us swoon. If you swoon too, but don't have tix, try the stand-by line."
Hello. I have some queries about 2 photos that have seen labelled as Louise Brooks on another site, and i would just like to clarify if they are indeed Louise.
