...later by jumping off a boat in the Sacramento River. This made it possible for Jean Harlow to forget her sorrow in the pursuit of her career. She did so well that a year later she married once more, this time to a jolly cameraman named Harold Rosson. The spirit of camaraderie which had sprung up between Photographer Rosson and Actress Harlow on the set was instrumental in making the termination of their brief alliance a happy contrast to the one that had preceded it. They were divorced in 1934, because Photographer Rosson annoyed the epitome...
Fortnight ago the selectmen of Marblehead voted to allow a reproduction of that Massachusetts town's pride, Archibald Willard's painting The Spirit of '76, to be made for use in the advertising campaign of a Lynn lamp works (TIME, Aug. 12).

Though in his long lifetime he produced many such historical illustrations, none attracted the national attention of The Spirit of '76, his most important effort. It was the sensation of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. None admired it more than that descendant of a long line of Marbleheaders, General John Henry Devereux of Civil War fame, who bought and presented it to Marblehead. His interest in the picture sprang in no small measure from the fact that his small...
