Non-Bob Eye Candy

 A few photos that have caught my eye, and I have enjoyed.  None to do anything with Mr. Montgomery, but still interesting.  

Pleasant-looking Ms. Chadwick in a park-like setting with a wistful look, perhaps because she is all decked out for a ride and has no horse.  

                  Helene Chadwick in From the Gound Up (1921)

Times do change.  It's not really the beach apparel alone, but the position of the bodies, a T-intersection rather than parallel lines.  

        Claudette Colbert & John Payne in Remember the Day (1941)

This last photograph is quite stunning in a larger scale, all the black surrounds with the white piano.  Still nifty, all the same.  

                             Well, I know it is Ginger Rogers!

30 years together. They had a good run.

Okay, so I have no information about this photo.  I'll guess Buffy and Bob are in their mid-60's.  Bob is wearing a tux so they're "out-on-the-town," maybe a nice dinner and a Broadway play.  Buffy with a pleasant smile, as always.  Wonder what's caught Bob's attention.  And why the floppy bowtie, Mr. Montgomery?  Really.  Otherwise, a good-looking couple who apparently enjoyed each other's company.  Good for them.

Why is Reggie on the Couch with Flowers?

 A still from the movie Bachelor Father (1931). Let's see, that's Ralph Forbes on the far left, Marion Davies sharing the center of the photo with C. Aubrey Smith, and the young man sitting on the couch is .....


Egads, it's Ray Milland!


Yes, indeed, a twenty-four-year-old Ray.  I'm not sure why he has a bouquet of daisies.
