Now considered an icon of the Jazz Age, Brooks' popularity today rivals that of her more celebrated contemporaries. On display are dozens of vintage objects - including books, magazines, sheet music, postcards,and related ephemera - which tell the story of her life and films. <br/> <br/>Highlights include American and French photoplay editions (the movie tie-in editions of the 1920's), an editorial comic strip explaining the scandalous circumstances behind Brooks' affair with Charlie Chaplin, Brooks' inspired novels, a jumbo-size lobby card, and a full-page newspaper advertisement for "Show Girl" - the Brooks-inspired novel which became a hit stage play and the long-running comic strip "Dixie Dugan." <br/> <br/>This exhibit - organized by Thomas Gladysz and the San Francisco-based Louise Brooks Society - coincides with many other events taking place around the San Francisco Bay Area and the world. <br/> <br/>Related Events in the Bay Area: <br/> <br/>"Celebrating Louise Brooks: An Evening of Rare Films" <br/>Sunday, November 12th at 7:30 p.m. <br/>Balboa Theater (3630 Balboa Street) in San Francisco <br/>-- Peter Cowie, author of the just released Louise Brooks: Lulu Forever, will give a short talk after the screening of rare Louise Brooks films - some not shown in 80 years.

The play will next be performed at the Victoria Theater in San Francisco starting September 7th. (see www.victoriatheatre.org/) Jason Zinoman wrote in Saturday's New York Times: <br/> <br/> "The Silent Theater Company of Chicago is dedicated to the idea that the theater doesn't need the spoken word, which it proves with panache in its first production, Lulu, an ingeniously staged version of the Louise Brooks 1929 silent film Pandora's Box. <br/> <br/> Stylishly directed by Tonika Todorova, this dreamlike play without words is about an insatiable hedonist who leaves death in her tracks. It opens with a wild freak show - peopled by a bearded lady, a dwarf and a man on stilts - dressed and lighted in a noirishly severe black and white, like the cover of a 1920's scandal sheet burst to life. Last to enter is the knockout showgirl Lulu (Kyla Louise Webb), a good-time girl who is clearly bad news. <br/> <br/> In the seasoned hands of Ms. Brooks - whose black bob, imitated here, may be the most famous haircut in film history - the role inspired oceans of critical drooling. Kenneth Tynan once wrote that she was "the only star actress I can imagine either being enslaved by or wanting to enslave." <br/> <br/> The charismatic Ms. Webb, who wears a blankly innocent expression, letting her jitterbugging body do the seducing, may not bring on such dark thoughts, but her pursuit of unbridled pleasure is so persuasive that you are sure that after the show she will seduce the rest of the cast members and then break all their hearts. <br/> <br/> Backed by the moody piano of Isaiah Robinson, this coolly stylized presentation, which could benefit from a few more tech rehearsals, communicates a remarkable amount of plot - in a few crisply designed scenes that slip back and forth between erotic and macabre. <br/> <br/> The glamorous Lulu is a reminder of how effective the great silent performers were in their ability to cut directly to the heart of a scene, something Billy the Mime also accomplishes superbly. If you don't have the crutch of language, you need to be able to tell a story with discipline and clarity, and these wordless artists developed a vocabulary every bit as articulate as that of any playwright in the Fringe. They are particularly eloquent with comedy and horror, two areas in which the theater often lags behind film. When was the last play you saw that was really scary or made you explode in belly laughs? <br/> <br/> Unlike talking actors, who generally shun the grand gesture as hammy, these silent performers are willing to go for the jugular. They treat their limitation in speech as an opportunity to exploit the rest of their repertory, which may be the reason that their shows seem bolder, faster and meaner than any others I saw this week. Silence, in an odd way, has liberated them." <br/> <br/>For more about the Chicago-based Silent Theatre visit www.silenttheatre.com/. You can even watch a silent trailer of the play - with intertitles.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 0 replies </div> Tue, 22 Aug 2006 05:05:07 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/5ceb1f08-0566-4472-b66b-a18a8f7fb8e5 thomasgladysz 2006-08-22T05:05:07Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/d7d3309f-dce8-4cbf-83e9-fae58e5f927a <div>Hello there!!

St. Lous, MO, USA. d. April 12, 1975, Paris, France. (Cerebral hemorrhage). né: Frida Josephine McDonald . Called the 'Black Venus' by an adoring French public, Josephine was the daughter of laundress Carrie McDonald and musician Eddie Carson. As a child, she would dance on the streets of St. Louis for whatever nickels and dimes the passersby would throw her. In 1921, at just age 15, she was both working as a chorus girl on the St. Louis stage, and married to a Pullman porter named Baker. In 1923, at age 17, feeling the extreme racial discrimation of St. Louis, she ran away from both St. Louis and Baker. She ran fairly far. Her first job in Paris was in La Revue Negre, following which, she was accepted as a chorine at the famed Folies Bergere, as a member of their all-black revue. In 1925, at the Folies Bergere, she first performed her famous banana dance. The Folies Bergere patrons loved it and her fame grew. Later, Janet Flanner, a "New Yorker" magazine correspondent would write: "Her magnificent dark body, a new model to the French, proved for the first time that black was beautiful." And, Pablo Picasso (writing of her work in the Folies-Bergere would write: "Tall, coffee skin, ebony eyes, legs of paradise, a smile to end all smiles." Unbelievably, during U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy's communist "witch hunt" era, she became persona non grata in the United States. Renouncing her American citizenship, in 1937, she became a citizen of France. In 1961, France awarded her their highest civilian award, making her a member of 'The Legion of Honor'. Her life was a full one. She refused to perform in clubs that practiced racial segregation. During her lifetime, she adopted 11 children of different races, religions, and nationalities, all of whom lived in her home (she was very protective of them) and all of whom loved her. She once had a rejected (and dejected) suitor kill himself at her feet. In 1928, her husband/manager 'Count' Pepito di Abatino dueled Andrew Czolovodi, a Hungarian calvary officer, over Josephine in St. Stephen's cemetery in Budapest. The duel lasted only 10 minutes, ending when di Abatino was scratched by Czolovodi's blade. During World War II, she worked as a spy for the French resistance. In the late 1960's, aging, and with a changing world, financial difficulties became troubling. In 1968, she stopped performing. She accepted a home in Monaco from Princess Grace (Kelly) who had learned of her financial distress. All told, Josephine was married five times; First to 'Willie Baker' (1920), 'Count' Pepito di Abatino' (? ca 1926), then to 'Jean Lion' (1937), next to 'Joe Bouillon' (1947) whom she divorced, and finally to 'Robert Brady' (1973) also ending in divorce. In 1974, Josephine performed once more, at Monaco's summer ball, to great acclaim. That same year, she traveled to New York City for a week long stage performances in the show 'An Evening with Josephine Baker On April 10, 1975, Josephine was in a Paris revue celebrating her half-century on the stage, when she suffered a severe stroke and went into a coma. She never regained consciousness. Her funeral was held in Paris, and she was buried in Monaco. Her haunting theme song "Two Loves Have I (both of them are you)", remains popular to music lovers the world around. <br/> <br/>RED HOT JAZZ BIO (Hear Her SING!): <br/>www.redhotjazz.com/josephinebaker.html <br/> <br/>AMG BIO: <br/>www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll <br/> <br/>The Official Josephine Baker Website <br/>www.cmgworldwide.com/stars/b...ndex.php <br/> <br/>Josephine Baker biography: <br/>www.lkwdpl.org/wihohio/bake-jos.htm <br/> <br/>JOSEPHINE BAKER: <br/>www.things.org/music/al_s..._baker.html <br/> <br/>Josephine Baker - Wikipedia BIO: <br/>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephine_Baker <br/> <br/>About Josephine Baker - Biography of Josephine Baker: <br/>www.harlemlive.org/shethang...aker.html</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 4 replies </div> Sat, 03 Jun 2006 19:01:48 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/1cd20461-01a6-44dc-b12d-77680c279158 confetta 2006-06-03T19:01:48Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/3ad8b5e8-c6c1-4b3b-bf08-8f3fc910afd0 <div>Charleston <br/>02:49 <br/>Video made from an old recording of "The Charleston" with pictures from the 1920's: <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FraB_TrxxrQ&amp;search=flapper <br/> <br/> <br/>Diary of a Lost Girl <br/>02:26 <br/>Starring Louise Brooks: <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z13tT9P8N4&amp;search=flapper <br/> <br/> <br/>The Show Off <br/>01:57 <br/>with Louise Brooks <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUNvMqDj1WA&amp;search=flapper <br/> <br/> <br/>L'Inhumaine (clip) <br/>03:31 <br/>Clip from Marcel l'Herbier's "L'Inhumaine" (1924). <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKhlt2yJ-MY&amp;search=1920%27s <br/> <br/> <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpeNAloMXYM&amp;search=1920%27s <br/> <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlI4mo-yniA <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 0 replies </div> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 13:50:21 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/3ad8b5e8-c6c1-4b3b-bf08-8f3fc910afd0 confetta 2006-06-04T13:50:21Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/edab85e1-f822-498e-813d-e814cac2aa33 <div>Margaret Mead <br/>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead <br/> <br/>Margaret Mead <br/> <br/>Margaret Mead (December 16, 1901 – November 15, 1978) was an American cultural anthropologist. <br/>Margaret Mead was born in Philadelphia, PA and raised in nearby Doylestown, Pennsylvania by a university professor father and a social activist mother. She graduated from Barnard College in 1923 and received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1929. She set out in 1925 to do her fieldwork in Polynesia. In 1926 Mead joined the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, as assistant curator, eventually serving as its curator of ethnology from 1946 to 1969. During World War II, Mead served as executive secretary of the National Research Council's Committee on Food Habits. In addition, she taught at Columbia University as adjunct professor starting in 1954. Following the example of her instructor Ruth Benedict, Mead concentrated her studies on problems of child rearing, personality, and culture. (Source: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition, 1993.) <br/>There has been disagreement with certain findings in her first book, Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), based on research she conducted as a graduate student; and her published works based on time on the Sepik and on Manus, as literate people from the cultures she described have challenged some of her observations. But her position as a pioneering anthropologist—one who wrote clearly and vividly enough for the general public to read and learn from her works—remains firm. <br/>Margaret Mead was married three times, first to Luther Cressman and then to two fellow anthropologists, Reo Fortune and Gregory Bateson, with whom she had a daughter, also an anthropologist, Mary Catherine Bateson. Her granddaughter, Sevanne Margaret Kassarjian, is a stage and television actress who works professionally under the name Sevanne Martin. <br/>She died in New York City on November 15, 1978, aged 76.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 1 reply </div> Sun, 04 Jun 2006 12:48:35 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/edab85e1-f822-498e-813d-e814cac2aa33 confetta 2006-06-04T12:48:35Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/f10c86e2-952a-495c-acfa-e59743029166 <div>Hey I'm new here....

High School students across the country are still devouring F. Scott Fitzgeraldís THE GREAT GATSBY and thanks to Miramax, Chicago The Motion Picture has made Fosseís 1975 hit Broadway musical available to all.Watch the Chicago Trailer <br/> <br/>Bob Fosseís CHICAGO is based on the play, The Brave Little Woman, written by Chicago Tribune reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins. Her play was inspired by the sensationalized murder trials of women in Chicago's Cook County and was first produced in 1926. <br/> <br/> One of Nancy Carrollís first California appearances was as ROXIE HART in an early stage production of the play Chicago . A dashingly handsome young actor named Clark Gable also appeared as one of the male reporters during Nancy's stint as Roxie. In 1927 Chicago was made into a silent movie starring Ginger Rogers as Roxie. But the Chicago everyone knows and loves today didn't appear until several decades later. In 1975, Bob Fosse, Fred Ebb and John Kander breathed new life into the characters and script. As a musical, Chicago would garner numerous awards, have a long run and make a strong return to Broadway more than two decades later. The stage musical was so popular that Hollywood moguls decided the time had come for Chicago to be made into a major motion picture with an all-star cast,thus, Chicago the movie. Starring Renee Zellweger as Roxie Hart, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly and Richard Gere as Billy Flynn, the movie has been an incredible success. Once again the Roaring Twenties are back. Why, Iíve already seen Louise Brooks look-alikes emerging from salons, and spaghetti~strapped dresses with bottom fringe, hanging in boutiques ! As a matter of fact, among the loveliest of prom gowns Iíve seen this season is a gown that easily could have been worn in the 1920s. <br/> <br/>And speaking of the fashion of the era, for those visiting New York City or Long Island this year, you will not want to miss these two special exhibits. <br/> <br/>Stony Brook Long Island <br/> <br/>Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages 1200 Route 25A Stony Brook, NY 11790 (631)751-0066.

You will find links to everything 1920s -- jazz, fashion, bootlegging, social change, politics, crime, literature, decor and much, much more. There is even a link there that will bring you to a site which will teach you how the Charleston is done! </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 0 replies </div> Mon, 08 May 2006 18:06:48 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/007a2ae8-5b27-4ddf-8b3f-05b5f0cfe4f7 confetta 2006-05-08T18:06:48Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/a864f91a-f158-429b-a12f-6addec19fc51 <div>Here's a shot from a recent shoot with Gothic Bellydancer 'Tempest.'

Now I'm a straight, married, unexciting lady and I found them absolutely ADORABLE! The women were all slightly pudgy, and 1/2 of them were just showing their buns or flashing a boobie. I'm wondering about the men that these pictures were made for. Did they consider this porn? The pictures are so sweet and innocent by today's standards!

Do you remember what it’s like?

Forget your calcified urbane orientation for a night, come to Amnesia this Sunday, and surrender to complete and total adoration (and delight) of two wonderful musical anomalies and one pair of feisty footed sisters that our fair city is lucky to hold within its flimsy bounds. Ah, adoration! <br/> <br/>First join us early for a screening of Alejandro Adams 2004 Documentary: “The Frisky Frolics: No Kitsch Intended”. A loving portrait of the anachronistic tin pan alley troupe, this film is described as “A Musical. A Comedy. A Documentary. No Matter what you call it this is the feel good movie of the year.” <br/> <br/>Then prepare yourself for a hot to trot jazz era evening of acts that, taking a cue from the 20’s and 30’s will demonstrate that even today the cure for the modern condition can lie in a strutting rhythm, a sweet melody sung sincerely, hot tap dancing, and snappy duds : <br/> <br/>The Paper Dolls: Velveeta voiced ukulele vixens, The Paper Dolls, will strut, strum and plunk their way into that place in your heart you thought had died when Pee Wee Herman fell from grace. The hot three-part harmonies delight your ears while their charming frames wear a fashionable feast for your eyes. Don’t miss their spectacular debut of a new “dummy” act! <br/> <br/>The Scenic Sisters are the cutest little buttons ever to be unfastened. We’re excited for them to grace out dancefloor with their tap dancing scene stealing glamour! <br/> <br/>The Frisky Frolics are everyone’s favorite good time fellas. This delightful combo of dapper chaps, voted Best band for the New Depression by the SFBG, is headed up by the uke slinging Rick Quisol, the original Dimestore Dandy with a canzoo attitude, These tin pan alley troubadours are guaranteed to bring a grin to even the sourest of pusses playing hotcha tunes that lifted many a spirit through the dusty days of the 20’s and 30’s. <br/> <br/>Put on your best duds and clear your dance cards!

It's era 1920's sleevleess cream silk I got on ebay for $60! I altered it just a bit to fit me better and make it a little more fancy. I kept with the 20's style of drop waist etc. I made the veil in a 20's style as well and I plan to finger wave my hair if possible. I thought some of you would appreciate the vintage image. <br/>I also made our invitations with an image from some 20's sheet music.

Her little-girlish voice with its Bronx accent was stolen by the creators of cartoon character Betty Boop. She appeared in a Marx Brothers revue; put forward by conductor Paul Ash, she sang ‘That’s My Weakness Now’ (by Bud Green and Sam H. Stept) in show A Night In Spain ’27; the show flopped after 22 performances but Kane was a hit, signed for a week at the Paramount that stretched to six weeks, then to a recording contract with Victor. <br/> <br/> <br/> In the musical show Good Boy ’28 she sang ‘I Wanna Be Loved By You’ (by Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmar); she allegedly disliked the song and had to be talked into it by impresario Oscar Hammerstein, then threw in the phrase ‘boop-boop-a-doop’ which made her famous. On her first two recordings the music director was Nat Shilkret, on the rest Leonard Joy. Her technical skills, timing, enunciation and intonation, were very good, but nearly all the 22 songs she recorded 1928-30 were meant to sound like flapper novelties (‘Is There Anything Wrong In That?’ was meant to be suggestive). An exception was Rodgers &amp; Hart’s ‘If I Knew You Better’. It was a good attempt at a ballad, and one of the last records she made; maybe she was tired of being typed as a ninny. <br/> <br/> <br/> Inevitable she went to Hollywood, and appeared in Paramount pictures Nothing But The Truth, Sweetie, Pointed Heels, Dangerous Nan McGrew (played the lead and recorded the title song), Heads Up, Flying High, Young Men Of Manhattan and Paramount On Parade, all 1929-30. <br/> <br/> <br/> Max and Dave Fleischer’s Talkatoon series in 1930 featured Betty Boop, who had big eyes, a very short skirt and was considered salacious for the time; the voiceover was done by Ann Rothschild or Mae Questal (experts disagree). Kane sued the Fleischers for stealing her stuff, but the lawyers won, convincing the court that Kane has stolen her ‘boop-boop-a-doop’ from a black singer, Baby Esther. Her career faded with the Great Depression; she appeared in flop show Shady Lady ’33 but made no more films. In 1950 she recorded a track for the 18-year-old Debbie Reynolds to mime in film Three Little Words, a film biopic of Kalmar and Ruby. She died of cancer a few hours after seeing the film on TV. <br/> <br/>*************************** <br/>Betty Boop Sound Bites: <br/>*************************** <br/> <br/>"Made of pen and ink... <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/swtbety.wav <br/> <br/> <br/>"Don't Take My Boop--s-Doo Away: <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/boopaway.wav <br/> <br/> <br/>"Come Inside Big Boy" <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/boopcmin.wav <br/> <br/> <br/>"A saxophone can go..." <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/boopsax.wav <br/> <br/> <br/>"..those house cleaning blues..." <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/boopblue.wav <br/> <br/> "Ain't she cute...sweet Betty..." <br/>www.everwonder.com/david/be...oop/sound/bbcute.wav <br/> <br/>Arpents verts nous voiciiiiiiiiiiii! <br/>www.maggiore.net/greenacre...unds/gaFrench.wav <br/> <br/> <br/>*************************** <br/> <br/>LISTEN: <br/> <br/>DANGEROUS NAN McGREW <br/>From the film "Dangerous Nan McGrew" (1930) <br/>Helen Kane - 1930 <br/> <br/>www.angelfire.com/retro2/vi...er06/Music/HelenKaneDangerousNanMcGrew.wav <br/> <br/>Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh, <br/>And Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop. <br/>Tootin', shootin', high-falutin', <br/>I make you loop the loop. <br/> <br/>I'm from the great North West. <br/>I'm dif'rent from the rest. <br/>Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up, <br/>I shoot pants and vest. <br/> <br/>Oh, I've been a bad girl all my life. <br/>I pick my teeth with a carving knife, <br/>And I make a widow of a wife. <br/>'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew. <br/> <br/>Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face <br/>And I make barbed wire look like lace <br/>And I throw myself right out of place <br/>'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew. <br/> <br/>And I eat dynamite <br/>And I blow up in spite <br/>I shoot everything in sight <br/>Beware!

These sweet tarts takes on popular tunes from the 20’s and 30’s will transport you back to the day where dreams could be bought for a dime a dance. <br/> <br/>Rumor has it that Rudy Lapelle was born from the horn of a victrola. He’s a slick crooner that will make you swoon with toe tapping tunes by the likes of Cab Calloway, Fats Waller and Bing Crosby. Rob “The Romancer” Reich will accompany Rudy, tickling the ivories into total abandon. Ladies, look out for that swing! <br/> <br/>Later in the evening Gaucho will treat us to the jumping Gypsy Jazz delights of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Cameron Shaw (aka Rudy LaPelle) will lend his pipes to Gaucho’s fresh take on these dynamic tunes from the masters of “jazz manouche”. <br/> <br/>In Chaplin’s first “talkie” he takes the bull of his time by the horns, lampooning Hitler and Mussolini in his bittersweet farce “The Great Dictator”. On the eve of the US’ entry to the war and in defiance to broad discouragement Chaplin produced this strong political statement personally. Playing dual roles as a humble Jewish barber and Adenoid Hynkel, the ranting dictator of Tomania, Chaplin combined trademark slapstick with sharp political satire. <br/> <br/>What!? <br/>Chaplin’s, The Great Dictator <br/>The Paper Dolls <br/>Rudy LaPelle <br/>Gaucho – gypsy jazz <br/> <br/>When!? <br/>This Sunday, June 5th <br/>Film at 7 pm <br/>Music at 9 pm <br/> <br/>Where!? <br/>Amnesia <br/>853 Valencia @ 20th <br/> <br/>How Much!? <br/>$5 – Hotcha!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 4 replies </div> Thu, 02 Jun 2005 20:31:37 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/524e7d51-d439-49da-a5ae-1965cd6ac0c2 solcrawford 2005-06-02T20:31:37Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/036d4077-768d-463a-83f7-6bc32879c9e9 <div>Bricktops, the 20s revival club in Los Angeles hosted by Vaginal Davis which has run for almost three years on Friday nights is coming to an end because the Parlour Club, the venue where Bricktops takes page, has been sold.

I am within the age limit. I wear bobbed hair, the badge of flapperhood. (And, oh, what a comfort it is!). I powder my nose. I wear fringed skirts and bright-colored sweaters, and scarfs, and waists with Peter Pan collars, and low-heeled "finale hopper" shoes. I adore to dance. I spend a large amount of time in automobiles. I attend hops, and proms, and ball-games, and crew races, and other affairs at men's colleges. But none the less some of the most thoroughbred superflappers might blush to claim sistership or even remote relationship with such as I. I don't use rouge, or lipstick, or pluck my eyebrows. I don't smoke (I've tried it, and don't like it), or drink, or tell "peppy stories." I don't pet. And, most unpardonable infringement of all the rules and regulations of Flapperdom, I haven't a line! <br/> <br/>But then--there are many degrees of flapper. There is the semi-flapper; the flapper; the superflapper. Each of these three main general divisions has its degrees of variation. I might possibly be placed somewhere in the middle of the first class. I think every one realizes by this time that there has been a marked change in our much-discussed tactics. Jazz has been modified, and probably will continue to be until it has become obsolete. Petting is gradually growing out of fashion through being overworked. <br/> <br/>Yes, undoubtedly our hopeless condition is improving. But it was not for discussing these aspects of the case that I began this article. I want to beg all you parents, and grandparents, and friends, and teachers, and preachers--you who constitute the "older generation"--to overlook our shortcomings, at least for the present, and to appreciate our virtues. I wonder if it ever occurred to any of you that it required brains to become and remain a successful flapper? Indeed it does! It requires an enormous amount of cleverness and energy to keep going at the proper pace. It requires self-knowledge and self-analysis. We must know our capabilities and limitations. We must be constantly on the alert. Attainment of flapperhood is a big and serious undertaking! "Brains?" you repeat, skeptically. "Then why aren't they used to better advantage?" That is exactly it! And do you know who is largely responsible for all this energy being spent in the wrong directions? <br/> <br/>(read the rest of the article here: http://faculty.pittstate.edu/~knichols/flapperappeal.html )</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://theflappers.tribe.net">The Flappers</a> - 0 replies </div> Mon, 25 Apr 2005 04:49:23 GMT http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/d8e2e53b-ec5c-45e7-a75b-b95f89f12b79 inkvision 2005-04-25T04:49:23Z http://theflappers.tribe.net/thread/5ee19484-19b5-4573-abc0-cf14ed2d15ba <div>Has anyone heard of Lee Morse?
