Will H Hays, of the Hays Code, was postmaster general for the Harding administration?

This is much more shocking than funding out the Production Code was written by Jesuit priest and a regular Catholic. Because, yeah, that tracks.

I splurged a little and bought the Criterion DVD of Design for Living, because it’s been so hard to find and I haven’t watched it in a few years. Guys, you’ll be hard pressed to find another movie about polyamory from 1933. It’s so much fun and all three of the leads are just ridiculously attractive. Even though there’s goofy conflict between the characters, all in all it’s pretty wholesome because all three of them are just so in love. Pre-Code Hollywood is the best.

In 1933, 22 year old Lucille Ball signed her first contract with a Studio. She was to play a harem girl in Eddie Cantor's daring musical "Roman Scandals". Thinking she 'was on her way" she brought her mother, brother and grandfather out to California and bought this home at 1344 N. Ogden in Hollywood. They would all somehow squeeze into the tiny two bedroom one bath. Her grandfather held his Communist meetings here. (A fact that came back to haunt her during the McCarthy Hearings) The home has been renovated but still has its California bungalow look inside and out. It is on the market for 1.75 million.

One Dress a Day Challenge

Monochrome July

Monte Carlo (1930) / Jeanette MacDonald as Countess Helene Mara

Honestly, I can't decide whether I love this dress or hate it--whether it's gorgeous or hideous. It does capture a fascinating moment of transition between the 1920s and 1930s in style. We're already seeing the low-backed style associated with the 30s, but the tiered skirt with its ruffles and sparkles and feathers seems more like an extension of 20s styles (just longer).

(I must thank @mygreatadventurehasbegun for reminding me about the July Criterion Collection sale at Barnes and Noble. I decided to pull the trigger and grab this collection of Lubitsch musicals that I'd had my eye on for a few years.)
