Saved From the Titanic -- April 13, 2012

Actress Dorothy Gibson, who worked for the American Eclair company, was among the passengers rescued from RMS Titanic. On 14-May-1912, one month after the Titanic struck an iceberg, Eclair release "Saved From the Titanic," starring Dorothy Gibson. The ad and the two brief reviews are from the 11-May-1912 issue of Moving Picture World. The film is believed to be lost.  Too bad.  Click on the images to see larger versions.

Rocket and Torpedo -- August 13, 2010

The Raygun Gothic Rocketship (http://www.raygungothicrocket.com/), a sculpture by a collection of artists, appeared on the Embarcadero near the foot of Mission Street last week. Here it stands near PCC Streetcar 1053, in Brooklyn livery, sitting on the sidelines of the F line. There are similarities in the style of the two vehicles. I took the photo today.
