Midge,  I thought this would be a good gag, but so far few are looking? The photo is from a Western made in 1923. I have forgotten the title. Here is another great still from a film I'd love to see.  Emil Jannings and Esther Ralston BETRAYAL (1929) |

It's a holiday weekend here in the States, so everyone is probably out having picnics and shooting off fireworks. Esther looks so pretty, but where the heck did Emil get that tie! |

It does look interesting. He certainly had some diverse roles before he
went back to Germany.

Larry has a telephone just like that. It looks like Mr. Arlen is trying to prevent Miss Ralston from making a call.  |

The tie seems to go with Esther's shawl.

I see a picture there from "The Lucky Devil", a film I recently watched. It starred Richard Dix and Esther and was a fun film from start to finish! She also wrote a fairly good autobiography which I have. Only problem is, if you wish to buy a copy you'll have to spend upwards of over $100: evidently it's a quite rare commodity.

Not so there Michael. You can get a copy on DVD-R from Grapevine Video for only $14.95. Here is a link: www.grapevinevideo.com/Lucky_Devil.htmlKevin |

Kevin, it's not clear in R. Michael's post whether the "rare commodity" is The Lucky Devil or the book. I have a feeling, though, that Esther's autobiography is what is rare.

My interpretation is that it's probably the book. |
