love the bette davis pictures,especially the first in post 183,184.
also the exquisite lombard-photos.you´re right northern sky,to be or not to be is such a great film.who else could have managed to keep the balance between satire and seriousness regarding such a controversial topic if not lubitsch.his irony is wonderful and so human..and yes carole lombard certainly is a pleasure for the eyes-from each perspective .i think can tell the resemblance you see between constance bennett and miss lombard.their faces have a similar kind of bone structure.
thanks also for the clara bow-picture from "call her savage".clara gave a splendid performance.it shouldn´t have been her last film but the first in a new direction,a second career .
ps.:norma shearer wasn´t part of "blondie of the follies".unfortunately i have no idea who the other actress is.

sylvia sidney
i´ve already posted pics of her in the 20´s thread but she was more an actress of the 30´s.schulberg,clara bow´s producer chose her as his new prodigiy when he wanted to get rid of clara at the end of the 20´s (a horse that can´t run isn´t of worth ).i don´t know though how long the personal and professional realtionship between slyvia and schulberg lasted.
