...many women, perhaps most of them, who have come to Hollywood with dreams of stardom that never materialize. But if that were all there was to say about Louise Brooks, we would not be celebrating her centenary today. The Victoria Theatre in San Francisco would not be holding "Happy Birthday, Louise" party to accompany a performance of Lulu, a play based on her signature film Pandora's Box. The Criterion Collection would not be issuing a double-disc edition of the Pandora's Box DVD. And Rizzoli would not have published Louise Brooks; Lulu Forever, a handsome volume with more...
...tragic-happy ending. At the climax of the 1930 Prix de beaut?, she is a movie star sitting in a screening room about to watch the rushes of her big song.

In the face of silly toilet handles, toxic flooding, false alarms, and one very unhinged fireman, what can Eliot do to restore itself to glory? For what it’s worth, we think we have the answer.

...FRIDAY A birthday party was held in Quincy for Jon Q. Macmillan ’08, not to be confused with Quincy Resident Tutor John C. McMillian. At WHRB headquarters in the basement of Pennypacker, the indie crowd mourned the loss of Reese & Ryan’s golden marriage with plenty of slam-dancing and skanking...or whatever that kind of awkward “dancing” that usually happens when one is drunk and listening to the Clash is called.
