Written letters ...Do you keep a diary of your own?<br /><br />Written letters and paper journals seem to be a fading memory of our generation. What will our grandkids and great-grandkids have to ready of ours? Surely, our Youtube or Flickr accounts won't be intact in 80-100 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754081048684312245.post-89615622955125851122007-10-19T11:28:00.000-07:002007-10-19T11:28:00.000-07:00"The Indian Love Lyrics" was a 1923 film based ver..."The Indian Love Lyrics" was a 1923 film based very loosely on a poem in Laurence Hope's collection *The Garden of Kama." Amy Woodforde-Finden set four of those poems to music, of which the most famous is certainly "Pale Hands I Loved Beside the Shalimar." They were very popular parlour performance pieces--exotic, artsy, a little vampy.Melynda Huskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997058967080912488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754081048684312245.post-36271826399675889472007-10-14T10:24:00.000-07:002007-10-14T10:24:00.000-07:00Forgot to credit IMDB for the synopsis:http://imdb...Forgot to credit IMDB for the synopsis:<BR/><BR/>http://imdb.com/title/tt0014624/<BR/><BR/>where you can find out much, much more<BR/><BR/>Also IMDB page for the 1923 Lilian Gish version of "The White Sister"<BR/><BR/>http://imdb.com/title/tt0014605/The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754081048684312245.post-88856693009564762412007-10-14T10:22:00.000-07:002007-10-14T10:22:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754081048684312245.post-84586521789743564322007-10-14T10:20:00.000-07:002007-10-14T10:20:00.000-07:00"A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate" came out in 19..."A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate" came out in 1923; it starred Edna Purviance in the title role (Marie), Carl Miller as the unfortunate boyfriend, Clarence Geldart as Marie's father, and the great Adophe Menjou as her lover. It was written and directed by Charlie Chaplin, and is very different from most of his early stuff. Some people hate it, others love it. Plot synopsis: Marie St. Clair believes she has been jilted by her artist fiance Jean when he fails to meet her at the railway station. She goes off to Paris alone. A year later, mistress of wealthy Pierre Revel, she meets Jean again. Misinterpreting events she bounces back and forth between apparent security and true love. Also misinterpreting, Jean commits suicide.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754081048684312245.post-16153643271879569292007-09-06T08:33:00.000-07:002007-09-06T08:33:00.000-07:00"White Sister" refers to The White Sister, a drama..."White Sister" refers to <I>The White Sister</I>, a drama made in 1922 starring Lillian Gish.

(the rest of rockland county is also densely populated with jews of all denominations)probably in the 1920's it was more rural and used as a summertime retreat for urban dwellers such as papa and other LES jews. since people began to move out of the city and populate suburbs such as rockland and westchester counties in the 1940's and 1950's, people began moving further north for such summertime family retreats. for example the catskill mountain region.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466600009824510564noreply@blogger.com
