Happy Birthday, Mr. Cagney!

 James Francis Cagney, born this day July 17th on the lower east side of Manhattan in 1899.    A compelling performer.  For sure.  

Just love the print below.  All that energy bundled up and ready to explode.  Dig the eyelashes.  I'm envious.  


A mustache worked okay for young Mr. Cagney, in his tough guy roles in particular.  Much better than Bob.  For sure.  


Jim and best friend Frank McHugh practicing being tough with one another.  I wonder how many movies they made together.
