| Anna Pavlova, in costume for the solo "Christmas", circa 1928 This portrait was photographed by Madame d'Ora (Dora Philippine Kallmus 1881-1963) in Paris but was inscribed by Pavlova and presented to Sydney Ure Smith in Sydney. From the collection of the State Library of New South Wales www.sl.nsw.gov.au acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=846093 | Flickr. |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!

| City Lights is a 1931 American silent film and romantic comedy-drama written by, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin. Although "talking" pictures were on the rise since 1928, City Lights was immediately popular. Today, it is thought of as one of the highest accomplishments of Chaplin's prolific career. Although classified as a comedy, City Lights has an ending widely regarded as one of the most moving in cinema history. |
