Thirteen Women (1932) RKO Radio Pictures Dir. George Archainbaud

Peg Entwistle as Hazel Clay Cousins Mary Duncan as June Raskob Harriet Hagman as May Raskob

Hazel watches her long-time friends, the Raskob Sisters, perform their famous trapeeze act at Joe E. Marvel's Circus. June Raskob is feeling uneasy, having received a letter from a New York Swami warning that her latest horroscope shows she will soon cause the death of a loved one. Hazel knows something is amiss, but is unable to do more than give June meaningful looks from the stalls far below. Tradgedy strikes during the act when June fails to catch her sister, May, who plummets to her death.

Peg Entwistle, a successful stage actress, played Hazel in Thirteen Woman, which was to be her only feature film. On 16th September, 1932, she committed suicide by jumping from atop the "H" on the Hollywood sign at Mount Lee.

Thirteen Women was released the following month, on 15th October, 1932.

An excellent and detailed biography for Peg Entwistle can be found on the IMDB [X]

my Top Ten By Year Zine: 1930 is now on sale! i am not expecting any traction here but i figured what the hell! i have spent the last many months working on this 20-page zine dedicated to a year from one of film history's most fascinating micro-eras (Sound Gets Situated). having ten films to write about is both a jumping off-point and culmination but it's about so much more than that. it's about traversing through a year in film to the best of my ability, picking up memories and observations along the way. this zine features original collage work on every page, an essay, memories across over 50 films from 1930, and writing on 10 films of my choosing (people on sunday, city girl, king of jazz, madam satan, "dance of the hands", the big house, au bonheur des dames, ladies of leisure, laughter, and liliom). this is a labor of love for anyone who loves or appreciates film.

"But do you know what it means to be a half-breed, a half-caste, in a world ruled by whites? If you're a male, you're a coolie, and if you're a female, you're, well . . . The white half of me cried for the courtesy and protection that women like you get. The only way I could free myself was by becoming white. And it was almost in my hands, when you, you and your Kappa Society, stopped me."

Conservo ejemplares de la revista cubana Cine Mundial, de 1924 a 1929. Resulta curioso leer sobre Rodolfo Valentino cuando todavía vivía (falleció en 1926) o descubrir el gran número de estrellas de Hollywood hoy olvidadas. El cine mudo era inmenso.

4 Devils

directed by F.W. Murnau, 1928

For the first time ever, I’m not using screenshots to make a movie mosaic. That’s because 4 Devils is, sadly, a lost film. It’s one of the most sought after lost films of all time, as reviews following its release consistently cited it as one of Murnau’s best.

In this mosaic, you will find a combination of publicity stills and drawings made by art director Robert Herlth. The stills would have been taken on set, but do not account for the lighting and camerawork that Murnau was known for. Herlth’s drawings give an idea of the atmosphere that 4 Devil’s aesthetic would have evoked. My hope is that by presenting them alongside each other, I can fulfill my goal of capturing a movie’s essence with one collection of photos. Should a copy of this film show up, it would be one of the greatest discoveries in the history of film. Until then, it exists only in our imaginations.
