A treat today:  a gorgeous new picture of Vera Reynolds in The Road to Yesterday.  Scanned from an original 1925 photograph, we offer two versions:  in black and white, as it would have looked originally; and a beautiful sepia-toned version reflecting the photo's current appearance, over 80 years later.  We also have a movie summary.

We conclude with two film clips from Mutiny on the Bounty.  In the first, Charles Laughton sends hapless fall guy Franchot Tone up a pole as punishment for misbehaving (notice the he-man slaps during the fight scenes!).  In the second clip, Clark Gable leads the mutiny as pandemonium ensues.

We have two last minute entries:

• Alberto colored one of the Ziegfeld Girls photos we added on April 22.  This really brings the photo to life, so we can visualize what the group might have looked like in person.

• Frederick caught a mistakenly labeled Richard Barthelmess picture—we had him on the Chester Morris page, and have corrected it.  Now we're on the lookout for a nice Chester Morris photo.

Thanks to our guest contributors today!
