In the 1920s and 1930s, there were numerous non-English (ethnic) newspapers in the United States. Usually, these papers were based in cities or large metropolitan areas where large numbers of people from a particular country or region settled. For example, there were Polish-language papers based in Detroit and Chicago which served readers in the Midwest.
I am always researching Louise Brooks, and am always on the look-out for unusual articles and publications. So far, I have turned up articles about or mentions of the actress in German, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese-language newspapers based in the United States. The German and Russian papers were based in New York City, the Spanish publications in Los Angeles, and the Portuguese paper in Massachusetts. (Besides Polish-language publications, I have also looked through Swedish and Czech-language papers, but was not able to find any mention of Brooks nor advertisements for her films.)
Recently, I turned up my first Danish-American article! This June, 1928 piece about Hollywood was published in Bien, a weekly Danish language newspaper published California. The article is, I think, about news from Hollywood. Brooks's name shows up twice, and can be found at the end of the first paragraph and at the end of the article.
