Laird Cregar

Folks........Here's Laird Cregar. This actor played in the 1944 film, THE LODGER...Whats really neat is that my Dad knew him,as they both grew up in the same neighborhood in Philadelphia ( Chestnut Hill ) in the early '30s.

Poor guy died trying to lose too much weight too fast.........

Jeff Bloomfield and I agree that his screen persona could take over a film ( Blood and Sand...This Gun For Hire....Hanover Square...). Its a shame that here in Philadelphia that there was never a 'retrospective" of his films, as they do for other actors.

That is the best photo of Miller's Court that I have ever seen. One can see the detail in the window quite clearly.

Aleister Crowley......

Note to self: Better stay away from heroin. Look at this guy !! Oi !
Stick with Mexican beer !

I don't know, Howard....

Sitting around in a secluded villa, conducting orgies, drinking blood, practicing black magik and getting high.....Sounds like the perfect 'retirement plan' to me!

Here's a rare pic I found of Christ Church- it's taken from The Collins Guide To English Parish Churches by John Betjeman (1958). Picture probably taken around 1955-6?

Louis Reece Ltd were fruit merchants apparently.

[John Malcolm]

What's wrong with this picture?

Never noticed this before...is this irony?

[George Hutchinson]

It's been like that for two or three years, John. Hadn't thought of the comedic value until you pointed it out, though.

PHILIP

[John Malcolm]

Philip, the photo is from '08, but I didn't think about the subliminal suggestion at the time. I was using up some b & w 35mm expired (by probably ten years!) film that happened to be in a camera of mine that had been collecting dust since the dawning of the digital age...

John,Phil...

What is the irony you guys are referring within the photo ?

[John Malcolm]

How, hint: "Takeaway" ...

Hi Howard

Probably from 'diet pills'. He should have stuck to salads.

Did you know he travelled on the other bus?
