Wow! what a beautiful movie palace!
Glad the evening was fun, even without meeting Ben.

As I understand it, the negative and other film elements for THE DIVINE WOMAN were lost in the same vault fire that destroyed LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT and several other titles in the 1960s.
Sadly, vault fires have responsible for the loss of many silent films. The most noteable being the fire at the Fox stoarage facility in New Jersey in 1937, which destroyed most (if not all) of their negatives to both silent and sound films. A vault fire in France destroyed the last known print of Erich von Stroheim's THE HONEYMOON (1928), the second part of THE WEDDING MARCH.
To my knowledge, nothing else has surfaced so far on THE DIVINE WOMAN.

Lots of fun music in the 80s.
While she's not from the 80s, a favorite vocalist who is from the 30s is Connie Boswell:

I like FRISCO JENNY quite a bit. Yes, it is kind of "Madam X"-like in plot, but it's an enjoyable enough film, plus it has in a small role James (THE CROWD) Murry. Sad to see such a promising actor already hitting the skids by this time.
It may be more an exception than the rule, but I feel that the characters in TROUBLE IN PARADISE seem to "sin" and get away with more than most other pre-code film characters.
For exapmle: Gaston and Lily are thieves who also live together. Gaston steals Madame Colet's purse, then later sleeps with her. Later Gaston and Lily steal from Madame Colet (who all but thanks them for it), and get away with the crime at the end of the film. No wonder this film was not seen after 1934 until the late 1960s.

I agree. Arthur Housman is my pick too.

My dad was also a big Glenn Miller fan. This was one of my dad's favorites:

THE MAN IN POSSESSION is one of my favorite ealry 30s films with Robert Montgomery.
It has such a wonderful cast. It captures the essence of British humor nicely.

Hard to beat The Man in Black!

Nice one! I am a fan of Oscar Aleman too!
Another blues guitarist I really like is Lonnie Johnson:
