Renée Jacobi, Jacques-André Boiffard, 1930
In this context it is worth looking again at the surrealist Jacques-Andre Boiffard's photograph of Renee Jacobi (1930), which suggests she is a corpse in a mortuary, and to consider Luc Sante's comments on crime photography: "In looking at a crime photo we know we are looking at an image of radical disjunction before we are consciously aware of its narrative content. But then crime retails death, or at best loss, so that even before spectations with no personal stake in the matter it is charged. It is surrealism with a knife."
Footnote 59 in Body and Soul: Jazz and Blues in American Film, 1927-63 by Peter Stanfield, found on Google Books.

Disraeli: The Chief (1.4, ATV, 1978)
"May I ask: what will be your main concern, sir?"
"To push forward the kind of progressive conservatism that has been my ideal for the past forty years."
"You mentioned social legislation. Could you give us some idea of what you have in mind?"
"Oh, nothing too much, say... slum clearance, setting up of savings banks, shortening the working hours, legal equality between workers and employers, and the establishment of the rights of trade unions amongst other things."
"But... but that is more radical than anything ever proposed by Gladstone."
"It certainly does not sound like conservative policy."
"I want this government to represent the interests of every class - since it was every class that elected us, not just one section of society."

Autograph cards from the original Hamburg production?
Anna Maria Kaufmann (looks legit)
Renée Knapp (might however be from her later run as principal Christine in 1992-1993)
Peter Hofmann and Renée Knapp (I have seen this one autographed, but it lacks the logo or any sort of printed letters)
Renée Knapp (same as no. 2 - might be later)
For those unfamiliar with the concept: “autogramm cards” are photos of the person in the role they perform, with printed info on the musical and the name of the person. They can hand these out at stage door when people ask for their autograph, and is often signed for specific people at the spot. While such cards done several places, they seem especiall popular in Germany, and it’s also common for the understudies to get their cards. Which is a nice thing.

Deutsche Medien über Gaza: Die Sprache des Kolonialdünkels
Israel führt einen brutalen Rache- und Vernichtungsfeldzug gegen Palästinenser. Das Leid der seit Jahrzehnten Unterdrückten kommt in deutschen Medien aber kaum vor. Sie gelten als Terroristen und Lügner. Mit dem Holocaust hat das wenig zu tun. Es ist das Denken ehemaliger Kolonialherren.
Von Susan Bonath
Die westliche Doppelmoral zeigt sich in der Berichterstattung über Israel und Palästina…
