More new fun stuff!

This vintage 11" x 14" Lobby Card came in the other day!

Its not a well-known film but "Snowed Under" is a very funny, very fast-moving Warner Bros production from 1936 directed by Ray Enright, who helmed a slew of fun B-pictures at Warners in the 1930's - Here's a quick review I wrote of it in 1997 when I first saw it: "Rapid-fire insanity with George Brent, Patricia Ellis, Genevieve Tobin, Glenda Farrell and hilarious Frank McHugh all spitting out dialogue with machine gun rapidity. Non-stop silliness!"

New Fun Stuff!

A few new items that have made their way into my collection in the past couple of weeks...

A vintage 8x10 still for WB "Bright Lights" (1935) showing stars Joe E. Brown and Ann Dvorak, Whoooopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Vintage 8x10 still for WB "Union Depot" (1932) which I just had the pleasure of seeing for the first time on the very same day that this still came in the mail! Very fast-moving and fun pre-code picture with a great cast, I thoroughly enjoyed all 67 minutes of it!

Last but certainly not least, a vintage 11x14 Lobby Card for "Torrid Zone", this makes 2 lobby's and a One-sheet I now own for this film, one of my very favorite of Cagney's later WB period and one of the absolute best showcases for Ann Sheridan, who nearly steals the show from everyone!

Another Quickie with Clara Bow...

Three more vintage Clara Bow items found their way to my house this week!

A nice 5" x 7" promo photo, circa 1926-27 I estimate.

An unused postcard, not sure what country... it says "Postkaart" on the back, jah jah! The prices on all these were ridiculously low.

Another postcard, this one from a small town in France (Remulak maybe? Meps! Meps!). Unused and in really excellent condition. The image is a 1928 publicity shot for "Red Hair", Clara's only color film that, like all her other releases of 1928, is now considered lost. I can only imagine how awesome she must have looked in 2 strip-technicolor *sigh*

Cool New Stuff...

These came into my posession today...

I did a trade with a small used furniture store around the corner from me... my nice-looking but chintzy made-in-china-out-of-particle-board-and-pine Bob's discount furniture store bedroom set that I bought new almost 8 years ago for this vintage Art Deco Waterfall dresser and a matching vanity table.

The condition is pretty good, especially considering the age. This stuff was built to last that's for sure! The veneer work is all very much intact except near the bottom (as always) where there are some chips broken away.

Not sure what actual use I have for this but it sure is cool-looking! The store owner was glad to let these go because they had been sitting in her store for over a year with no takers! My thoughts are because it wasnt a full set, not many people had use for it.

My new friends!!!!!! Now to keep my eyes open for a night table that can go with it! I have little hope to find a headboard to match as it seems there were very few if any queen-size beds made back then. I'll just have to make one myself i guess...*sigh*

Too much OT lately, but I'm hoping to do a new potty renovations update post soon and to continue my Eleanor Parker tribute as well. All this work and no fun is getting on my freakin' nerves!!!
