I live not too far from the town of Cherryvale in southeast Kansas, which was Louise Brooks' hometown. Ironically, it's also the hometown of Vivian Vance, who was famous as Ethel Mertz on the television show "I Love Lucy".
many of the old stars appearance looked dated, but she seems so modern somehow. like she could step out of the pictures and into todays world seemlessly. wish i could find a girl now who has that bobbed hair !
To be pedantic: "Our Miss Brooks" was a radio and television series starring Eve Arden. Still, it's a grand joke concerning Louise Brooks, and a terrific video in its own right.
This is so awesome - the pics and the music fit together perfectly. I esp. love the one at 56 secs (she was such a natural beauty without makeup) and the one with the fan. Beautiful - great job.
@utterlyviolet That is Lulu as the Canary in the 1929 Philo Vance mystery "The Canary Murder Case." Originally shot as a silent, Paramount decided to release it as a Talkie with the dialogue dubbed in. Louise Brooks, known to be stubborn at times, refused to come back to Hollywood to do the speaking parts. Movie moguls didn't take no for an answer very well back then, and for the most part, "she never worked in that town again."
whoever decided on that hairstyle for her deserves a medal. Not the greatest haircut and she was very pretty, but put the two together and WOW, the sum is greater than the parts. But I think she was copying Mary Ann from the Our Gang series. (just kidding. but which one had the cut 1st?)
Criminal men and women want Stretford too remain criminal and the police only deal with things when it is to late if at all.Police officers can go home after a shift feeling smug they have nailed some criminals. TV overdoes reality cop shows which is not a true account. It is weird but I feel some empathy with thugs when tv does ambulance,fire fighting and cop reality shows all the time when it is only reality too them and false too others.
I remember someone like her visiting near the tsb in Irlam in the 90's with her kids. Once again when I visited Gorse Hill and returning too Irlam playing some fantasist role. Does You're kind really think you controlled everything?
What a gorgious woman she was. I would wish for a beauty like her at my side. To bad at that time there were nog good quality pictures and movies like today.
Louise was a rebel and ahead of her time an original. everyone copied her trade mark hair style. read Louise Brooks a biography, it's good reading as are two otheres I've read.
Lulu In Hollywood and Louise Brooks Portrait Of An Anti-Star.
I love her - there was no one like her back in those days I agree...a true classic...along with the likes of Harlow and Monroe...an true icon who represented an era.
you know I've had the terrible luck of not being born in the right year, i'd be right at home being say at that party in the shinning but with hope I can afford to have a home like the old upper classes socity of then when I am older

I got the irony.
Eve Arden, aka Constance Brooks, was the greatest, but she would never be mistaken for Louise Brooks!

Both Tunes are similar, perhaps a copyright issue to alter the melody sightly. Both from the same period too.

It sounds like "Dancing on the Moon" a 1935 Fleischer cartoon. I guess the song wasn't original. Is such a warm tune.
Anyways I have not seen a Louise Brooks film yet. What would be a good recommendation
Thanks
