Happy Birthday, Adolph “Harpo” Marx (November 23rd, 1888 - September 28th, 1964)
“If things get too much for you and you feel the whole world’s against you, go stand on your head. If you can think of anything crazier to do, do it.”

A Time Machine With Wistfully Wandering Wings, From The Victorian Era into The Early 1950s, with a special fondess for the 1920s and 1930s . I was born in Hollywood, grew up in the Hollywood Hills and am in love with all things to do with Classic Cinema of bygone eras, particularly the Silents, and the magic of Vintage Animation by such artists as Max Fleischer, U.B. Iwerks and Walt Disney.

I'd love to live in a huge fairy tale Victorian house filled with beautiful vintage furniture, books, dolls, silver buckled pumps, and velvet dresses, but for now I live in a lovely attic apartment that contains all of those and hundreds of old movie books and stills, in a neighborhood where many great silent films were created. If you like something here, please have the good manners to reblog it **with the captions and credit on it**, or not at all. Merci! I make a lot of sceeen caps and gifs from classic cartoons and old films I love, and hope they amuse and entertain.
