Angie, Wow! Such lovely soft colors. The hues, and shades are very different than with my software, but that makes your photos unique. Here is one I did not post earlier, because I needed to shrink the size of the photos signifibcantly before I could display it. It was better than twice as large as you see it here now. *Clara Bow, Ship Ahoy!* *Clara Bow, Very Pouty Pose!* *Clara Bow, Wind Blown Hair*

Angie, I reposted the one of Clara with the Boa, after I tinkered with it a little bit here and there over again. I still am not real satisfied with how it turned out. Looks a little bit better than it did though, as there is not as much color bleeding off of the hair as there had been before. Here is another one that I had to Shrink in size considerably before posting. *Clara Bow, Ship Ahoy!* *Clara Bow in Arab Girl Costume* *Clara Bow, Office Background* *Clara Bow, Very Pouty Pose* *Clara Bow, Wind Blown Hair* *Clara Bow, Purple Pajama Suit With Cape*

ugaarte, Welcome back. Hope that you had a nice Christmas. Good luck on the Job hunt. I have maybe a couple dozen photos that I have not posted at all in this thread yet. Not sure where to start. Will begin with these Clara Bow pictures I guess. *Clara Bow, What on Earth?* *Clara Bow, She Be Hula! From HULA (Paramount, 1927)* *Clara Bow, Beachy-Keen!* *Clara Bow, Skimpy Party Dress* *Clara Bow, Suntan And Table Seat!* *Clara Bow, Bare Shoulders* *Clara Bow, Ship Ahoy!*

Angie, Wow! Barbara Stanwyck looks super gorgeous here! What a superb portrait. The Skin-tone looks just perfect to me. So do the eyes, and the hair is magnificent. The dress is probably not that hue, but it still looks great. I love this movie, and I do not have a copy, I don't think? What a great screwball comedy! I often stuggle with Skin-tone too. Sometimes I tint the photo amber first and leave the skin alone, than I use auto-corrector, and adjust after that once I have colored everything else. This works well at times, while others it does not. Just kind of depends of the lighting and shadows in the photo.

Angie, I almost forgot this one. Which you probably haven't seen yet. *Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor From LUCKY STAR (1929)*

It took several tries but I finally got a pic of Gary to look pretty good. > > Angie, Honey, your photos are really spectacular! I never heard of Recolor before? Who puts it out? I do know that this is something that you have always wanted to do! All I can say is, girl you sure catch on fast! I'm really impressed! The only thing that I would change is the tone of the medal, or pendent, or whatever that thing is on his cap? It is a little to yellow, when it probably should be silver or gold. Not sure about the shade of the uniform or the buttons, but they generally look good. The medallion though maybe you can tone down a bit? I don't know how your software works in comparison to mine, but the results are just wonderful! Here are some new ones I just worked up of Clara Bow for you. On the first of these, I wish I could get the skin-tone of the legs to match the upper-body, but it doesn't seem to be possible? Other than that it looks really good, but what sort of an outfit is that anyway? I know that you really liked HULA. I have several excelent quality stills from this feature now that I will be getting to. I thought colorizing them would be very difficult due to all the plants and such, but it wasn't all that tough really. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the results. *Clara Bow, What on Earth?* *Clara Bow, She Be Hula!

Huh? So what was that all about? Harold And Jobyna would like to know too?

The problem I have with Chaplin's sound movies is that once He finally started talking, He talked an awful lot, and rarely Shut-up! Ultimately, He had a great deal to say. Although, people were not always so receptive of his message or willing to listen. I like VERDOUX, and especially LIMELIGHT, but both films are much longer than they needed to be. You can't help but be moved by LIMELIGHT, one of the most beautiful films ever made. CITY LIGHTS is still far and away Chaplin's greatest work. So when are we finally going to get to see it chosen for "The Essentials"?

Joel, Yes, I had mentioned this yesterday. The original Swiss title actually translates to THE PHANTOM CHARIOT. Or so I have been told, with the alternate being THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT. So. I don't know why it is called THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE? Maybe this is going to be released on DVD in the States soon? Hey, send me an E-mail. I have all kinds of new stuff to tell you about.

Mongo, The Colleen Moore still is from ORCHIDS AND ERMINE (First National, 1927), which is not a lost film. Mickey Rooney is supposed to be a midget here. Would love to see this movie restored. It is hilarious! Haven't seen this photo elsewhere, so thanks so much for posting. Err, maybe I should colorize the Jane Russell one too? I think she must have took to big of a deep breath just before that photo was taken, and the buttons all exploded off the front of her blouse, sailing 20 feet though the air at 75 miles an hour? Lo! Have lots of Jayne Mansfield photos, but most of them are probably a little to Racy for this thread. Although based on some of the stuff that has been posted here in the past maybe not? I don't know. Have one that I labeled as "Nothing Butt Net"? Should I give it a go? What do you think? Any of these unique Clara Bow Photos might be considered as "Candids"? *Clara Bow, What on Earth?* *Clara Bow, She Be Hula! From HULA (Paramount, 1927)* *Clara Bow, Beachy-Keen!* *Clara Bow, Suntan And Table Seat!*

Annie, Glad you like the Page Photos, The photo of Anita on the bottom with the flowers is a little bit to contrasty, and not real sharp for some reason like the others are. It was hard to do much with it. Still not real satisfied with the results. I have posted probably a dozen other pictures of her over the past several months. These are three of my favorites among those: Renee Adoree is of course one of my favorite subjects so, I couldn't resist the notion to post more colorized photos. This first one in the Gypsty outfit I worked on several months ago, so you may not have seen it before? I wish I could find a higher resulotion graphic of this photo someplace? The second one I was not all that happy with, and so I had never posted it before. Oh yes, here is a portrait of Constance Talmadge you may not have seen as well.

I already have PROFESSIONAL SWEETHEART. It was on about a year and half ago. Anything with Ginger Rogers is great! *Ginger Rogers From PROFESSIONAL SWEETHEART (1933)*

vitaphony, Those back to back William Haines features are both OK, but not really among his better films. THE SMART SET is superior in my opinion. Part of this is due to the fact that the Darrel Raby score to SPRING FEVER is quite dismal, while Marcus Sojwell music for THE SMART SET is by contrast, quite good. It likewise does not help that SPRING FEVER suffers from a fair amount of Chemical-Decomposition, while THE SMART SET is practically pristine. Again, I'm happy that TELL IT TO THE MARINES is playing at long last. For some better William Haines Silents, how about hiring somebody to score BROWN OF HARVARD, and SLIDE, KELLY SLIDE?

Speaking of Anita Page these are all new from just this past weekend:
