Just thought that I would Share some of my Treasures with you......
This was my first win on Ebay (sorry, Thomas) about 1 1/2 years ago.
It is a 1927 Spanish Match Box with a gorgeous photo of Louise. All the original matches are still in the box, and it even has a crushed glass striker. My husband had it framed in a shadow box with a couple of repro post cards for me, and I proudly display it on my office wall.
I'm looking for two Vintage Post Card to add to this....so if you have any vintage Brooksie postcards sitting around collecting dust, let me know (yeah, right)
Hubbie Surprised me last Christmas with this find...
We were told this photo has never been published. It might look familiar, but I think (hope) it's because it was one of many taken during the same sitting with Louise wearing some type of Oriental kimono or gown. The few other Brooks' fans I've shown it to admit they've never seen this exact pose. Hmmmm......
This is another eBay "find." It's a fan which was given to theater patrons during the hot summers before air conditioning. This particular fan is from Paramount Studios and pictured from the top, clockwise: Pola Negri, Florence Vidor, Louise (wonder why I bought this one), Lois Moran, Esther Ralston, Clara Bow, and Bebe Daniels in the center (why in the world didn't they put Louise in the center??? Just wondering...)
I have collected Vintage Post Cards of all of these Beautiful Ladies and plan to have them mounted in a Star Burst around the fan to show it off.
And my Office Walls.....
It's fun to work in a room surrounded by such class, huh?
And next...this is an interesting photo. I found it in a little shop in Hollywood. It's a picture of Louise's first husband, Eddie Sutherland (he's the middle man of the three men standing on the platform), shooting a movie in New York City around 1925 or 26. It's autographed by him to his Aunt Blanche. Some of you may remember her from Louise's film "It's the Old Army Game" with W.C. Fields.
and last, but certainly not least, my little girl Neena. She's much cuter than the Taco Bell chihuahua, don't you think?
See Ya at the Flickers......................
