As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

Charles Laughton in “Rembrandt” (1936) — an excellent film covering part of the life of the famous painter.

Laughton with long mustache and curly hair, holds painting implements while standing in front of an easel in a large room. A man in 17th century Dutch attire stands in the background.

“The Lupino Legend” in Cosmopolitan magazine — first of a two-part article on Ida Lupino published in January and February 1943.

“She can break your heart or make you laugh. She's five feet two of dynamite and she has Hollywood on its ear.”

2 page magazine layout. Left has large photo of Lupino in long-skirted dress kicking leg high in the air in a dance pose. Right page has article text and three small photos of Lupino with pets, husband and family.

The article begins with title in large text and its lede in medium size font:

The Lupino Legend

By Adela Rogers St. John

She can break your heart or make you laugh. She's five feet two of dynamite and she has Hollywood on its ear. Here begins the fascinating life story of the "Mad Lupino" born to the theater, daughter of a famous clown, and destined, some say, to be the greatest actress of our time

Ida Lupino, late 1939

“MONARCH OF ALL SHE SURVEYS: Ida Lupino's new Brentwood home sits high on a hilltop, and Ida has a beautiful view right down Rustic Canyon to the ocean. Finished with her role in Paramount's ‘The Light That Failed,’ Miss Lupino is busy decorating the new domicile.”

Lupino, in a fashionable outfit, leans on a short wooden gate bridging a thick stone fence. Trees, sky and side of a house are behind her.

We are about to enter Day 3 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House.

2. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Bulldog Drummond (1929). 19-year-old Joan Bennett in her first proper role. I hardly recognised her in her blonde flapper haircut, but it’s a full-on spirited damsel-in-distress performance, just the ticket for this sort of thing. Meanwhile Ronald Colman is suave, the villains R-rollingly dastardly

Poster for Bulldog Drummond. A handsome man is bound to a chair, watching angrily as a villainous fellow in a big moustache manhandles an unconscious young woman over a table. Tagline reads: ALL TALKING
