Here are a pair of seldom scene publicity photos of Flynn at the Warner Studios during the week of November 9, 1936. They are staged photos of Flynn reading … or maybe just looking at … two distinctly different documents. Both pictures are WB numbered with an EFPuBA68 and 69. The first publication, titled DIRALI, is an Armenian magazine, meaning “They said”. The second one is a newspaper from India in the Gujiarati language, one of the 28 states, similar to Hindu.
Perhaps he is looking for openings of Captain Blood, since it began showings in Europe in April and May.
Hmmm…?
