RadioLulu is on the air
Began work on RadioLulu, a Louise Brooks-themed internet radio station. The station is hosted by live365.com
I opened an account at the host website, am converting songs to the mp3
format, and am creating a playlist. I need to come up with about three
hours of programming, so I will need to scour my cd collection for
appropriate material. I hope others will tune-in, as this station is
going to cost me about ten dolars a month....
.... The Louise Brooks Society is proud to announce the launch of RadioLulu.
This streaming internet radio station features music of the 1920's
through the present day. (The majority of the music dates from the
1920's and 1930's.) A number of the songs featured on the station bear
some connection to Louise Brooks, such as the Beggars of Life theme song, Brooks' favorite Gershwin tune, Somebody Loves Me, and later day tributes like OMD's Pandora's Box (It's a long, long way) and Soul Coughing's St. Louise Is Listening.
Other music on the station includes recordings by Brooks'
contemporaries and co-stars, such as actors Adolphe Menjou and Noah
Berry, and torch singer Libby Holman. The station is hosted by Live 365.com. Additional music will be added in the future.
The entire contents from two issues of the Illustrierter Film-Kurier have been added to the LBS website. This German film periodical devoted each issue to a single film. Issue number 1020 was devoted to A Girl in Every Port, while issue number 1314 was devoted to The Canary Murder Case. Also, two pages (about Beggars of Life) from a vintage Paramount campaign book from France have also been added. And as well, a handful of citations from California newspapers have been added to the various film bibliographies. These citations - garnered from visits to regional libraries - include articles and reviews from the Pasadena Star-News, Fresno Bee, and two papers from San Diego - the San Diego Sun and San Diego Union.

35 mm print needed
A film festival which contacted me had hoped to screen Beggars of Life
but have been unable to come up with a 35mm print of the film. Their
sources - which are very good and worldwide - have suggested that a 35mm
print may not exist. Does anyone out there in cyber space have specific
knowledge of the existence of a 35mm print of this film. (A 16mm print
won't do the trick.) If so, please email the Louise Brooks Society . . .

Detroit trip
I recently got back from Detroit, where I was visiting family. I took
the time to visit the Detroit Public Library where I spent 6 hours
looking through microfilm of the three major Detroit papers. I found
newspaper reviews and / or articles for each of Louise Brooks' American
films - The Street of Forgotten Men through The Canary Murder Case.
(Didn't have time to get into the 1930's). Also found a review of the
1924 Denishawn appearance in Detroit, a bunch of movie ads, a few
captioned photos, and an advertisement by a local jewelry store which
pictured Brooks (a tie-in for Canary Murder Case). All together, a good haul.
Wanted to get over to the nearby Wayne State University library, but just didn't have the time. They have a Berlin newspaper from the 1920's, as well as the paper from Ann Arbor, Michigan. (Denishawn performed in Ann Arbor.) If any Louise Brooks Society member lives in the Detroit area and would consider a trip downtown, please contact me for details.
