Who
died this date in 1975---Moses Harry Horwitz (June 19, 1897 – May 4,
1975), known professionally as Moe Howard, was an American actor and
comedian best known as the de facto leader of the Three Stooges,
the farce comedy team who starred in motion pictures and television for
four decades. That group originally started out as Ted Healy and His
Stooges, an act that toured the vaudeville circuit.
Moe's
distinctive hairstyle came about when he was a boy and cut off his curls
with a pair of scissors, producing a ragged shape approximating a bowl
cut (CLICK ON THE PHOTO).

It's May 4th---considered a holiday by Star Wars fans
to celebrate the franchise's films series, books and culture. The date
was chosen as "May the 4th" due to its sounding similar to the series'
phrase "May the Force be with you" in which fans commonly say "May the fourth be with you". READ MORE HERE http://bit.ly/1iIxJtb...And click on the photo to see a 1977 Star Wars Han Solo

A fab old post from our friends at European Film Star Postcards:
American model and actress Suzy Parker (1932–2003) was known in the
1950s as the most photographed woman in the world and is now considered
as the very first Supermodel. The red-headed beauty defined glamour in
the 1950s and in 1956, at the height of her modelling career, became the
first model to earn $100,000 per year. During the late 1950s and early
1960s, Parker also became the glamorous star of several Hollywood
productions. READ AND SEE MORE HERE.

Early in the coronavirus pandemic, I asked a simple question. Could Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to the coronavirus actually work?
Unlike its European neighbors and virtually all US states, the Swedes had opted to not shut down the economy. The country of 10 million people took what was at first described as “a lighter touch.”
While other countries closed schools and businesses, life in Sweden stayed pretty normal. Kids went to public pools and libraries, while adults sipped wine and had lunch in local bistros. Though mass gatherings were prohibited, children kept going to school, though students older than 16 were encouraged to attend classes remotely. The Swedish government also encouraged people to work remotely and asked people over 70 to isolate themselves, if possible.
For taking this approach, Sweden—and the architect of its public health policies, Anders Tegnell—was widely condemned. Consider just a sampling of headlines...READ MORE AT https://www.themainewire.com/2022/03/sweden-once-mocked-for-its-covid-strategy-now-has-one-of-the-lowest-covid-mortality-rates-in-europe/

Westchester County Police and New York State Police lined up at the

A public elementary school in Washington, D.C., gave children as young as 4 a lesson on "anti-racism" that asked them to identify racist members of their family. According to a Nov. 30 letter from Janney Elementary School Principal Danielle Singh, students in Pre-K through 3rd grade participated in an "Anti-Racism Fight Club" presentation by speaker Doyin Richards.

INTRODUCING THE NEW CROTON REVIEW; Some will remember the original Croton Review (click here to see a sample), published during the 1980s by the Croton Council on the Arts (CCoA). It became a nationally heralded publication, and many people lamented its passing. It is with great pleasure that the CCoA announces that it is embarking on the exciting, albeit challenging, task of producing the New Croton Review. READ MORE HERE.
That's not because the president's chief medical advisor disagrees with the substance of Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle's ruling. No: Fauci thinks the problem is that the courts have any power over public health edicts at all.
"Those types of things really are the purview of the [Centers for Disease Control]. This is a public health issue," Fauci told CNN's Kasie Hunt on Thursday. "We are concerned about that—about courts getting involved in things that are unequivocally public health decisions. I mean, this is a CDC issue; it should not be a court issue."
Considering how much of his life he has spent working within or alongside the federal government, Fauci's belief that the CDC ought to exist outside of the constitutional limitations applied to government actions is stunning.

And so.....From our friends at European Film Star Postcards: For Collectors of De Reszke Cigarette Cards
We continue our Saturday posts on British film postcard series with De
Reszke postcards (CLICK ON THE PHOTO FOR THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL LESLIE
HOWARD AND MERLE OBERON). De Reske was a, now forgotten, British
cigarette brand. It was named after Jean de Reszke (1850-1925), a famous
Polish opera star of the late 19th century, and advertised as 'the
Aristocrat of Cigarettes'....In 1927, Millhoff sold out to Godrey
Phillips, an international company which was a fellow competitor. In
the early 1930s, Godfrey Phillips Associated brands published this
series of hand-coloured film star postcards.

New acquisitions: Kwatta collectors cards from Belgium
Recently I found a series of Belgian collectors cards at Delcampe,
which were published in or around 1950 by the chocolate factory Kwatta
in Bois-d'Haine. During the late 1940s, Kwatta had produced sets of Film
Star trading cards in black and white, which were issued with the
Kwatta chocolates. These cards in colour were part of the C-series. At
your local shop you could buy an album with the format 12 X 17,5 cm for
100 cards. The album was named Ciné Stars. On the cover was a lion,
which referred to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. READ AND SEE MORE HERE. And yes, that's Ann Miller from ON THE TOWN.

The controversial head of President Biden’s new Big Brother-like disinformation board drew fresh mockery and disdain Friday over cringeworthy TikTok footage of her adaptation of a Mary Poppins song to be about misinformation.
Nina Jankowicz’s newly resurfaced take on the “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” tune was being shared widely online Friday after it emerged she has her own history of spreading disinformation online. SEE MORE HERE
BIG SISTER IS WATCHING YOUPresident Biden came under fire Thursday for the creation of a “dystopian” disinformation bureau created under his Homeland Security department, which critics are blasting as just a way for the government to police free speech online.
Conservatives slammed the Department of Homeland Security’s Orwellian new “Disinformation Governance Board” – with some suggesting the timing is convenient given Elon Musk vowed to make Twitter a free speech haven after his $44 billion takeover of the social media platform notorious for selectively censoring right-leaning points of view.
