The commute home is always a bit more interesting than usual at this time of year. Case in point, this was the queue for the exit gate at Queen Street Station in Glasgow this evening. Now, what's the collective term for a group of Santa clauses?

Geraldine Farrar during the finale of JOAN THE WOMAN (1916), Cecil B. DeMille's first religious epic. The flames were colored with the Handschiegl color process, which stamped colors onto prints. It was imprecise but well-suited to flames.

With the internet becoming ever more unreliable, I wonder if anyone will publish known facts and general knowledge in a book or, rather, multiple books, everything in alphabetical order, safely printed on paper so it can’t be changed on the sly. Numbered spines would be a plus.

With summer warmth fading into memory, here are 19th Century tips for coping with a heatwave:

"Allow nothing to worry you.”
“Refrain from reading the Debates.”
“Shun public dinners.”
“Walk twice the distance rather than get inside a red-hot oven of an omnibus.”

The Caterpillar in the 1915 version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The film was an independent production and uses the most basic filmmaking technique-- no closeups for you!-- but the elaborate costumes are fun to see.

Es wird gerade hell in der Karibik. Der Landgang von #Melissa steht bald bevor. Unglaublich wie stark der Hurrikan ist. Man sieht keine Anzeichen für eine Abschwächung. Das Auge ist riesig. Es ist der schlimmste Hurrikan, der Jamaika jemals getroffen hat. /LD
