On August 29, the
New York Times ran an article in which the LBS
was mentioned! An article by Pamela Licalzi O'Connell stated "The Louise
Brooks Society is an excellent homage to the art of the silent film as
well as one of its most luminous stars."
A new message board has
been installed. The free service which provided the old board has shut
down - so a new message board has been set up. It works pretty much the
same as the old board. The new message board can be found at
www.voy.com/104307/.
Also, as a result of the change in boards, the site architecture
(namely the headers and footers found on every page) had to be reworked.
Hopefully, everything is functioning as it should. Also, please be sure
and scroll to the bottom of this webpage where you can vote for the
Louise Brooks Society.
The entire contents of the "
Illustrierter Film-Kurier issue devoted to
The Canary Murder Case
have been posted to the website. Check it out. Also, a few pages were
added to the filmography section. The remaining basic textual parts of
the filmography will be put in place this Fall. Afterwords, images
(scene stills, film art, lobby cards, advertisements, etc...) will be
added. That is a big project which will take some time.
Additional
citations were added to various bibliographies; these entries were
gathered from a handful of California newspapers including the
San Diego Union,
Santa Barbara Morning Press and
Stockton Daily Record - as well as from a few European publications including
Cinemagazine (France),
Berliner Tageblatt (Germany),
El Sol (Spain) and
Kino i Zhizn
(U.S.S.R.). All of these citations resulted from recent weekly all-day
trips to the UC-Berkeley library and their outstanding microfilm
collection.
I think I have found pretty much all that was
possible to find in the UC-Berkeley collection. Some trips I have
planned in the next six to eight months include visits to Palo Alto,
California (Stanford University library) in the Fall; Detroit, Michigan
(a visit home with a side trip to the Detroit Public Library) in
December; San Jose, California (San Jose State University library) early
next year; and Los Angeles, California (the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences, Los Angeles Public library, and possibly elsewhere)
in May, 2003. There is still much to find!
