Happy Friday! Did anyone out there have a Kolorkins plush toy in the 1990s?

I look at that and I see CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT...

Take me to your leader.

Today's NYT piece on the dying edifice of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts reminded me of living in DC in 1984 & seeing both a dress rehearsal of LA BOHÈME there, & a screening of BABY DOLL that Eli Wallach introduced in the National Film Theater, AFI's then home. Those were the days!

We are thrilled to be on the receiving end of #Vandylibraries' generosity in deaccessioning some #UGA football films! As it turns out, that 1927 UGA vs. AL game is now our earliest football footage! Thank you, Vandy! They're on the bench now and will be scanned soon.

So glad it's #Friday.

We were sad to see that the groundbreaking producer Tony Brown died last week, but he lives on in an early ep of COLORED PEOPLE'S TIME that he produced in Detroit, 1968. Watch at this link: bmac.libs.uga.edu/index.php/De...

RIP Ann Blyth, who visited Storyland amusement park w/Officer Don of WSB-TV & Orville the dragon at the Atlanta Muscular Dystrophy Assn annual picnic 7/16/1966. Blyth glows, despite an unfortunate choice of hat. Watch it here: bmac.libs.uga.edu/Detail/objec...

Enjoy this throwback to 1984 with WGRZ Buffalo's #Juneteeth special hosted by Stan Coleman from our Iris Awards collection. Parades, barbeque, dancing, a focus on B.U.I.L.D. Buffalo, and the important black history milestones in Buffalo. bmac.libs.uga.edu/Detail/objec...

1927 home movie reel and box. Water damaged.

We've made it to #Friday!

Ancient dried mold on 16mm home movie from 1931. Water damage made the reel fall apart, grow mold, and lose some emulsion. A metal film clamp dented the pack in two places. The film has actually cleaned up nicely and should scan just fine, though it might look a bit jumpy where the clamp dents are.

We've made it to the END of the week! #Friday

1926 home movie of a yachting trip.

Circa 1930 blue & formerly white 16mm film box with Dunning Hollywood logo. Their processing plant was on LaBrea Avenue. Thanks to Media History Digital Library and @archive.org, everyone can learn more about Dunning.

Happy it's #Friday!

@tanyagoldman.bsky.social You will be interested in the film room scene of TOMORROW'S CAREERS: THE LIBRARIAN that we recently scanned. 13:11 in bmac.libs.uga.edu/index.php/De...

Thank you for this meditation. I completed the Klimt Tree of Life a few yrs ago; so difficult I glued it to hang & enjoy. Recently completed the Agatha Christie (from a charity shop). About to start the Waterhouse (bought at library book sale).

Looking forward to a long weekend! Happy it's #Friday!

Long ago commentary on a transcription disc.

#Friday!

Here are some great transcription disc logos from 1940, Air-Chek by Electro-Vox on the orange label and Electro-Vox's microphone on the sleeve. Looks like there's just an empty spot where the studios used to be on Melrose in L.A., across from Paramount Studios.

Here's a two-fer from one reel. Came across a brief promo for FAMOUS FILM FESTIVAL on a 1955 kinescoped episode of TOMORROW'S CAREERS: THE LIBRARIAN submitted for consideration of a Peabody Award.

From _The SMPTE Chronicle, V. 1, 1916-1949_, p. 106, Karl Struss presented a paper at the SMPE Hollywood conf. of Apr 1928 on dramatic cinematography, including his work on SUNRISE.

Those are great westerns. It's not Universal, but I like BANDOLERO! a lot.
