The Mummy (1932) Movie theatre lobby display
This morning I watched “The Mummy” of 1932 just before work. This was a more silent piece for vintage horror. From today’s point of view nearly contemplative story telling. I love it. Also I can recommend “Frankstein” and of course “King Kong”.

Rosa Luxemburg, Simone De Beauvoir and Emma Goldman (1930’s)
I am not sure if one of the ladies is Simone de Beauvoir, but Rosa Luxemburg was murdered in 1919 and Emma Goldman would have been over 60 in the 1930s. So I doupt these ladies have met on the beach to smoke a pipe.
