I enjoyed June Travis, reminded me just a smidge of Kay Francis as well. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/may/20/obituaries.usa" rel="nofollow">Here's a little more on her</a>, the only obituary I could dig up. It was definitely nice not to hear Barton MacLane's teeth gritting through his standard tough guy role, not that I'm not a fan of the nastier Bart, but this made for a good change of pace. C'mon, you know you want to become a customer next. Actually, I do a lot of mini-biographies and non-WW film reviews over on Immortal Ephemera, often using the old collectible images as illustration (like I do here). There are some nitty gritty posts aimed exclusively at collectors, typically Photo ID Guides of specific collectibles with checklists and galleries, and I will admit to a link to <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574635227&toolid=10001&campid=5336480208&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.com%2FCollecting-Old-Magazines" rel="nofollow">my eBay Store</a> (oops, there's one now) appearing in most posts, but I don't think it's too much of a hard sell. It's basically more of what goes on here, just aimed at the wider world of classic film. Thanks as always my friend, Cliff Hi Jeffers, glad I did Times Square Playboy justice, told you I liked it! I enjoyed June Travis, reminded me just a smidge of Kay Francis as well. Here’s a little more on her, the only obituary I could dig up. It was definitely nice not to hear Barton MacLane’s teeth gritting through his standard tough guy role, not that I’m not a fan of the nastier Bart, but this made for a good change of pace.

C’mon, you know you want to become a customer next. Actually, I do a lot of mini-biographies and non-WW film reviews over on Immortal Ephemera, often using the old collectible images as illustration (like I do here). There are some nitty gritty posts aimed exclusively at collectors, typically Photo ID Guides of specific collectibles with checklists and galleries, and I will admit to a link to my eBay Store (oops, there’s one now) appearing in most posts, but I don’t think it’s too much of a hard sell.

Thanks as always my friend, Cliff

June Travis certainly impressed you more than she did me, and your reminding me how much I enjoyed Barton MacLane adds encouragement to see it again to give her another chance. I still think of the film mostly as a revelation of how irresistible WW could be as just a "run-of-the-mill guy" at the center of a sitcom, another "might have been" path his career COULD have taken in major productions, even when the pre-Code "classic" mold of WW character could no longer be portrayed. I do like the new site design (and appreciate seeing the rationale for it). Incidentally, the new "Immortal Ephemera" site name is BRILLIANT, but I absolutely DO NOT DARE get tempted into extending my already budget-busting collecting interests into any further territories!
