Does anyone know what script Mary Pickford was reviewing with Chester Morris?
Mary Pickford and Chester Morris holding scripts, from my collection. Sadly there's nothing on the back to illuminate this obvious PR moment.
I'd like to figure out if they're at Pickfair! My best guess is she had a hand in producing Frankie and Johnnie (1936)?

Dec. 1931 was busy for Mary Pickford despite the global economic depression. Her Pickfair remodeling project was completed in time for Olympic guests. Doug arrived home "without a toothbrush or a clean shirt" & her tree was one of thousands she had helped decorate across Beverly Hills.

I love B&W photography for its bold use of lighting and shadows, but sometimes it's interesting to know the real color of some objects. Here is Mary Pickford with her 1917 Packard Twin-Six landaulette. Anyone want to guess what color it was?

Color screen test of Mary Pickford in costume for the "Black Pirate". Because of the limitations of the early Technicolor process, separate costumes had to be worn indoors under artificial light vs. the outdoor scenes.
