“In July 2017, Israeli historian Yoram Meital stumbled upon a handwritten 1028 CE biblical codex that was lying abandoned on a dusty shelf in a Cairo synagogue.” More here.

My grandmother worked at a passport office in New York and collected some autographed passport photos of famous people. One of the ones we have is if Marie Dresser.
She also got Jimmy Durante’s, George M. Cohan, “Strangler” Lewis, George Jessel, Ethel Barrymore. And a couple of others.
She had Charles and Anne Lindbergh’s photos, but not autographed. And she also had Ethel’s brother’s (Lionel, I think, but it could be John) unautographed photo.
There may be others, but I don’t recall.
The sad thing is the George M. Cohan’s photo was the typical cheap photo that wasn’t properly fixed, so it’s faded very badly over the years, even sitting in darkness.
Interesting photos as always Robert. Thought you would like to read an account of when Paul Newman stayed at the house of some friends in Huntington, WV

Is that the same Jaguar roadster?
I have never heard of Kay Francis. Looked her up. I don’t think I ever saw one of her movies.
My favorite Paul Newman movie is “Absence of Malice” which I watch every few months. Second is “Butch Cassidy.”
“The Nuns Story” is said to be Audrey’s favorite role. If I ever saw it, I don’t recall. Watched “Working Girl” last night. I have your movie, ” A Stranger Among Us” to watch.
