From 1932

Two by the pictorialist Wilbur Taylor

“The Spirit of Jazz,” displayed in San Francisco in 1923.

Another conundrum

Could this photo show Bob Kiser at right? (Answer: No.)

ETA: Corrected in the comments, now with both images from FIGHTIN’ MAD in one place.

Jim Stafford and Pete Busnack

I’ve long had this photo among my unidentified group — odd that the number code on the back wasn’t a clue. Looking at a photo of Pete Busnack, I thought he seemed all too familiar, so I went looking, then looked at my notes for the SN catalogue … et voilà! (It’s even complete with studio light, no extra charge.)

Mizer smokers

I have read that Bob Mizer disapproved of smoking, and refused to photograph his models smoking. Perhaps he, like my parents, came to reject this particular vice later in life.

Jump!

Warren en fête

The photo is by José Reyes (d. 1987).

A note on sartorial matters.

Warren William Day

Warren William (Warren William Krech, 1894-1948), known posthumously as “The King of Pre-Code” films. He married Helen Barbara Nelson in 1923.

Serendipity continued

And, quite independently, I just bought this set, which I think shows Gene Stewart, who can be found in the YQ catalogue.
