November 1939: Her Giddy Days Over

November 16, 1939

By Sheilah Graham

HER GIDDY DAYS OVER

Carole Lombard Calms down, Since Last Marriage. 

Carole Lombard… western bit player – Mack Sennett bathing beauty – dramatic actress, zany actress, and now coming to you again in very serious vein in “Vigil in the Night” … Carole never does anything by halves, and, to give a true interpretation of her current role of nurse, she arranged the coincidence of a rush appendectomy and three weeks’ sojourn in a hospital. 

Carole’s career was due for the final fadeout ten years ago, when Cecil B. DeMille said to Assistant Mitchell Leisen, now a director – “Carole Lombard is a feather-brained playgirl who will never amount to anything in the picture business.” Leisen repeated this to Carole, scared her into a serious attitude, and, from them on, her star future in pictures was assured. 

FROM SUBSTANTIAL FAMILY

Miss Lombard is a natural blonde – but lightens her hair for pictures… She is one of the few actresses whose parents were well-to-do before this success… She was born in Fort Wayne, Ind., (1910)… Arrived in Hollywood when she was 10… Her real name is Jane Alice Peters… She became “Carole” because a numerologist said it would be lucky for her. It was. The Lombard was filched from family friends – Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lombard. 

Miss Lombard has been married twice – the first time to William Powell in 1931 – her pet name for him was “Junior.” … They were divorced in 1933. Her pet name for second husband Clark Gable is “Pappy.” He calls her “Mama.”

Carole has been less boisterous since her second nuptials – she has given up giving and going to parties. And it is quite hard to recognize the girl in slacks on the Encino farm as the dressed-up-to-the-hilt city girl of pre-Gable days… Her favorite conveyances these days are a station wagon and a black and gray motor scooter… The grounds of her valley home are spacious – twenty acres – but the wooden house is small and simple – with one guest room only (you saw this house in “Kid Galahad”). 

ALWAYS UP TO PRANKS

Carole is Hollywood’s gag girl No. 1… Pranks in the past include presents of custard pies to Norman Taurog (as a supposed rebuke from his producer); a picture of herself pasted on a ham to Clark Gable; also to Clark, a model T Ford with a coat of white paint, a bib and a red heart on one side. 

Miss Lombard, formerly under a long-term contract to Paramount, is now freelancing and getting $150,000 per picture… Her best picture – “My Man Godfrey” … Her worst – “Fools for Scandal” … Carole is extravagant when it comes to furs. She owns the skin of every animal you can think of – her favorite fur piece is a sable coat that cost $18,000… Favorite exercise, tennis – her most frequent partner is Alice Marble (who has a kind heart)… The three weeks Carole spent in the hospital recently were not, according to the actress, wasted – “for the first time in my life, I had time to think,” says Carole.

okay so piggybacking off a lot of @tea-and-geekdom's wonderful posts about medals - there's Father Brown, Sullivan and Goodfellow here - I'm going to do some for the characters we see in The Sign of the Broken Sword (the main ones), but I'm not going to give any information, a lot of that is already on the linked posts so check those out because she's done all the hard lifting for me (anything that isn't in those posts is quite easy to find online anyway, I'm just creating a list here to reference)

all medals listed from left to right Colonel St Clare

and shoutout to this random guy

because he has a General Service Medal (purple and green) which we don't see a lot of, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal which we also don't see much of in the show, though notably Sullivan does have one and it seems a fairly high honour

there you go, and again thank you to @tea-and-geekdom for doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to any information about these medals and for putting up with me going mad about this stuff the last few days

Shakespeare Weekend!

This week we present King Henry the Sixth: Part One, the first of the three part play, and is volume twelve of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. 

Shakespeare’s authorship of these plays has been in question for some time, researchers believed to have found the hand of at least six other playwrights within the text. Modern advances in computer software have allowed Oxford researchers to analyze and compare patterns in the writing styles and they have determined that the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) very likely co-authored the plays with Shakespeare. The plays were first acted in 1592. The second part was published anonymously in 1594, and the third part in 1595. All three parts were published in the folio of 1623. 

This volume is illustrated with lithographs by English artist Graham Sutherland (1903-1980). Sutherland approached book illustration a bit differently. Where other artists wanted to create images that do not distract from the text, and appear harmonious with the text on the page, Sutherland believed that too much attention being paid to creating works that agree with the page will result in “Making the illustration merely decorative, and drained from any personality...” On his own approach to his illustrations he writes:

“I believe that a good illustration translates a story into pictorial equivalents. It should not be either subservient to, or superior to, the story which the author has to tell, but parallel with it.”

The volume in the set was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each was illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
