They are indeed from a book, i can't remember what its called though.. Its all pics from Ginger's movies though :) Sure the weekend in Jersey will be good, even if its not quite the preferred Jersey!
...I think the pics in question are from the wickedawesome book, 'The films of Ginger Rogers' by Homer Dickens... if you ever see one on eBay (they are not too 'rare'...I have two copies...my Ma has one of them), pop on it! It is really the most detailed and informative tome regarding Ginger's career - although there are a few 'errors', as in any book of that type...
Jersey? There's a 'preferred' Jersey? :-) I know nothing of the Jersey in the Mother Country, but have driven thru New Jersey...and actually was pretty cool... the turnpike was great!

Weird about the different levels y'all have for areas... territories, commonwealths, and dependencies? I need to read up on all of that... history is cool!

Great Ginger pics.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to watch anything, or have you already? I'm waiting till this weekend to have a small Ginger film festival!
i'm away this weekend so watching Ginger movies is sadly gonna have to wait, but something nice to look forward to for Sunday evening!
DeleteNice collection of pictures. Where were the pics of the stills for the short films from? They look like they are out of a book.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
