Mail Bag! Eddie Sotto & Captain Blood Call Sheets!

Hi,
I enjoyed the Laguna Beach then and now pictures you posted. Very nice. Years ago, I came across to complete production records for that film, even down to who the sword fighting doubles were on the beach and when they lost the sun. Very interesting stuff,
You can pretty much go day by day and scene by scene and even shot by shot of that film and know what time people came and left. A bit of a rabbit hole! But it’s a complete record of a classic film.

This is from the Dayton Daily News, Nov. 24, 1935. The first pic is an overall of the entire page, but unfortunately is not legible due to the limited size of the copy here, as well as the quality of the paper. But added is the blow-up of Flynn. Those who have access to newspapers.com…, or a similar site, can read the read the content …

We like to promote some of the off topic things our contributors are involved in from time to time. This might be a book, like a novel or a play, a documentary or film, and our own Gentleman (Tim Reid) supports an issue that is very important to all of us. He provides the lyrics, melody and audio co-production work for the following excellent video with a lovely song sung by Rosalind Beall and musical accompaniment by Jesse Finch …
#StopProbateFraudianships commissioned this song to draw attention to the issue of seniors who are isolated and dying in long term care facilities against their wills.
See the French version of this song here: youtu.be/WWm1l712s3A…
English lyrics and vocal melody by Tim Reid. French translation by Rosalind Beall. Video by Rosalind Beall & Jesse Finch.
Thanks, Tim …
