In the 2008 Silent Star Album is an image of Ruth Chatterton by John Rolston Clarke from 1931.  Also, I add a picture of Gentleman Jim Corbett to the piece on Florence Turner.  He was such a manly man, it was done in 1890.

Do you know who Jocelyn Lee was?, I now know more then I could put on Looking-for-Mabel so Jocelyn has filled a whole newspaper.  There is just so much material...someone should write a book about her. Start in Off Topic at Jocelyn Lee, you will need a lot of time to explore as it took a lot of time to upload the material.

more Malnor pictures and a couple more in the Silent Star Album.

07

I have a weakness for images and so 3 colored pictures of Mabel from John Everton are in the Malnor Color Ablum, a new Mary Miles Minter in the mmm album (that is becoming a very big album) and in thr Silent Stars Album are now a picture of Olive Thomas, in an olive green hat and Larry Semon in black and white.

Mabel modeled for Stanlaws so while I was thinking about her modeling year because it came up at the Mabel Normand Yahoo Group, I put the link on the Nav Bar, It is in "WONDERFUL THINGS" also I have been looking for more material about Dick (F. Richard) Jones & Irene, that link is also on the Nav Bar and is also in "Wonderful Things"
