New Movie House in Northampton Named After Errol Flynn!

21 May

Received some exciting news today in the Errol Flynn Mailbag!

 

I was thrilled to come across your wonderful blog in the course of some online research. I thought you might like to know that here in Northampton we are honouring the Royal Theatre’s most notorious alumnus by naming a new cinema after him, due to open next month.

I’ve attached the most recent press release on the cinema for your information, and an earlier one that explains why we chose the name. We’re a long way from Snohomish but do look us up if you’re ever in town!

Best wishes

Rowland

75th Anniversary of Robin Hood Video!

With Special Thanks to Tim Reid who says:

My goal is to show how spectacular a guy her Errol Flynn was – as a man, an adventurer, an athlete, and actor, and a father!  He really did bring great color to this world, and he should be forever remembered wonderfully for that!

More from the Mailbag! Martha O’Driscoll & Errol Flynn USO tour!

18 Apr

In the mailbag, also, today:

Greetings Dave,

My name is Russell Ries Jr. from Nashville, TN. I collect old photographs & WWII-related items. I recently purchased an entire collection of photos taken by one soldier during WWII. Apparently the guy was with the Army Corps of Engineers and was stationed in some place cold where all they did was build roads. So most of the photos aren’t really all that interesting.

However, within the stack I did find this photo of a beautiful couple:

Thanks, Russell!
