This is for Tumblr and many photos you will recognize but many are new. Now for me that is saying something considering all the time I have spent on the Flynn. Have fun.

Mailbag, from Jack Marino!

Jack Marino sent out this note and asks to include it on the EFB, too. He says:
I am looking for a pristine photo like the Bert Six quality if possible of a shot of the Sirocco when Errol Flynn owned her. I want to blow it up and put it in a frame of 29 x 22. I’d like to get the Sirocco in the middle of the frame. If there is a color, B&W or sepia image that all works for me.
If Bill or Tom that have published books that may have a photo like this or similar please contact me.
Dave DeWitt if anyone on the ERROL FLYNN BLOG collects Flynn photos could you asked if they may have what I am looking for?
Hope all is well with you all, and thanks for the help, gang!
Best
Jack
It would have to be a photo large enough to blow up to the size he is seeking, and still be clear and not fuzzy. Thanks for any ideas, or help, mates …

A cool vintage movie mag website
07
Sep
Aloha from Hawaii, everyone! Last night, while websurfing, I happened across a website that you might find interesting. It features about 30 vintage movie mags, all digitally uploaded and available to read. Such publications as The Hollywood Reporter, Film Daily, Photoplay, and many others. The issues go back to around 1914, and up to recent times. They don’t have every issue for every mag, but what is there is very extensive, and will keep you busy for hours. Each issue is complete and in color, so you can see vintage covers and film ads in color. It is like looking at the original magazines, with original photos, etc. In the January 1938 issue of Photoplay, there is an article written by Errol about yachting up and down the California coast, with his characteristically humorous and trenchant observations about the whole scene. He mentions fellow Hollywood sailors, such as James Cagney, John Ford, and others, too. I’ve read a lot of his writings, but never seen this one. I think there must be other articles by him on this site, as well as contemporary reviews for his films, and original ads for them.
Anyway, the website address is: lantern.mediahist.org…
Edit: I just corrected the link above, from my original post– see zacal’s link below for the fan mag page. Thanks, zacal, your link is the best one, I think! The above link takes you to a page with numerous film mag covers, including Photoplay, with Clark Gable on its cover. You can then pick and choose. You don’t have to download the articles– though you can– as it’s possible just to view them on the site.
I messaged David about this, and he has looked at the site and likes it, and suggested I post the address here. It’s an excellent site, and I think there are plenty of articles to keep you very busy! Aloha! Tom
