Re: Minta Durfee and The Last of the Terrible Men
Srsly, I'm not trying to be obstructive or play coy. That's the whole Magumbo, a new history. Was there something specific you wanted to know? Joan Yes, will you be just publishing the facts (as best known) or will there be a personal opinion of the trial and eventual verdict itself? Well, yes, of ...

Re: Minta Durfee and The Last of the Terrible Men
I'm working on a new history of the Arbuckle scandal. Is that what you were looking for? Joan Well if that's all you're gonna give me, I guess that's all I need. Srsly, I'm not trying to be obstructive or play coy. That's the whole Magumbo, a new history. Was there something specific you wanted to ...

Re: Minta Durfee and The Last of the Terrible Men
Well, I don't think you are trying to achieve any kind of world peace and if you are, writing about Virginia Rappe may not be the best way to go about it. That being said, are you writing to give more information about the trial itself or more about Ms. Rappe and the trial shall be part of that? I'...

Re: Minta Durfee and The Last of the Terrible Men
OK, so I've listened to the podcast a couple of times and have read both of the blog posts and still do not know what you are trying to achieve with this research. Can you give me a little more information? World peace? Seriously, I don't understand your question, could you be more specific? Joan

Minta Durfee and The Last of the Terrible Men

More like '20s.
When did overly fond mothers stop torturing their little boys by dressing them in Little Lord Fauntleroy suits? That scooter could have been from last week, though.

Re: The Brother of Fatty Arbuckle...
Wikipedia, indeed... That'll get you ten minutes in the corner, J, and no milk before nap time. You may, however, have a cookie. Maclyn and Roscoe shared a fairly common last name, had similar physiques, some small facial resemblance, both appeared on stage, starred in films, both essayed the role ...

Re: The Brother of Fatty Arbuckle...
