Louise Brooks in Ireland, happy St. Patrick's day

Happy St. Patrick's day from the Louise Brooks Society. Just recently, a handful of Irish newspaper archives came online. I did a search and thought to share some of what I found to celebrate this most Irish of holidays. Shown below are a few representative vintage clippings and a couple of contemporary pieces.


From 1928: a typical newspaper ad, this one for Rolled Stockings.
Curiously, star Richard Arlen is not mentioned


From 1929: a studio publicity photo for Beggars of Life


From 1929: shown as part of a double bill, along with
the Capitol Tiller Girls on stage


From 1929: a little seen publicity photo


From 1929: "See and Hear" The Canary Murder Case


TV listing from 1995: use of the word "gloomy" is unusual though accurate


From 1983: One of the most unfortunate headlines I've ever come across
