I'd respect Mother Levant much more if
she was dressed in her
own version of her daughters' dresses . . . how identity-crushing!

Get out of town! Verree Teasdale was married to Adolphe Menjou? You learn something new every day here.

Wow,
that's an understatement . .
And I'm sure if you rang Hedda up about the subject, she could also have given you 'chapter & verse' about all the Menjous'
personal business . . .

What a great picture of Jay Silverheels. Never seen a pic of him out of costume as Tonto.
Also, Norma Talmadge. She seems to be one of the silent stars least remembered. A favorite of mine. Bought a talking film and I thought her voice was OK.

Great pic, Mongo!
It's just too bad that recent birthday-boy Jay Silverheels wasn't in frame for it; I seem to recall he played Ladd's "blood brother".
