The Silver Screen Oasis

A great picture of newlyweds Lew Ayres and Ginger Rogers. Would you believe that I recognised Lew instantly, but not Ginger, despite having 59 of her movies.

Did anyone else find it odd that the cake has an over sized bride, and no groom???

I did, Nancy.

Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Clark Gable, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan– "Boom Town"

That is a great picture of Boom Town but you cannot help notice how tiny, petite, downright skinny, anorexic Claudette Colbert was. And that suit is loose on her

Good observation, Dee.

Bela Lugosi (center) is welcomed back to Hollywood by co-actors Basil Rathbone (left) and birthday boy Lon Chaney Jr. (right) to appear in The Black Sleep. Lugosi, who just prior to returning to Hollywood had recovered from an addiction to narcotics, was given a black, leather-bound script book bearing his long list of screen credits by the producers, cast and crew of the horror film.
