Starr, by Patrick Conrad
This book - which features Louise Brooks on the cover - showed up on eBay recently. I haven't been able to find out anything about it. Though I think it may be fiction - perhaps a crime novel or mystery. Does anyone know anything? Help!

Amy Crehore Paints Louise Brooks
John Brownlee's blog at Wired.com features a painting by artist Amy Crehore based on a photograph of Louise Brooks. (I have blogged about Crehore and her interest in Brooks in the past.) Check out the blog and images here.
Brownlee likes Crehore's art a great deal, while describing Louise Brooks as "my own silver and silent heart's desire." [ Here is a link to Crehore's original blog about the painting.]

June 26th - RadioLulu - Day of Silence
RadioLulu and Live365, along with the SaveNetRadio coalition and Internet radio stations throughout the U.S., will be participating in a Day of Silence on Tuesday, June 26th. This is a call to action around a proposed ruling by the Copyright Royalty Board. See my earlier LJ post for details.
On June 26th, from 3 a.m. Pacific to midnight, all 10,000 Live365 stations - including RadioLulu - will go silent. Free listeners who tune into Live365.com stations will be redirected to a Day of Silence stream that offers an explanation, broadcaster testimonials and a call to action. VIP listeners will receive a Day of Silence PSA before being connected to the station's regular programming (if available).

"Pandora's Box" to screen in NYC
Pandora's Box (1929), starring the one and only Louise Brooks, will be shown in New York City on July 3rd. The screening will take place at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. The film will be accompanied by Ben Model on the mighty Miditzer virtual theater organ. For more information, see www.filmlinc.com/wrt/onsale/kino07/pando ra_sbox.html
Pandora’s Box
Series: 30 Years of Kino International [June 29 – July 12, 2007]
Director: G.W. Pabst,, Country: Germany, Release: 1929, Runtime: 100
G.W. Pabst’s immortal film version of the Wedekind play gave us one of the most enduring presences in cinema: Louise Brooks’ Lulu. She was a “new kind of femme fatale,” wrote J. Hoberman in The Village Voice, “generous, manipulative, heedless, blank, democratic in her affections, ambiguous in her sexuality.” As Brooks herself put it to Kenneth Tynan, “It was clever of Pabst to know even before he met me that I possessed the tramp essence of Lulu." She has inspired countless bob-haired imitators, but Brooks still reigns supreme. With Fritz Kortner and Franz Lederer.
