Movie Posters

Photoplay magazine cover      January 1937
I'd like to start with this:  on archive.org there are some digitized posters from movies starring Miss Ginger Rogers.  They can be downloaded from archive.org.  There is a link, on the page where they are available to download, that describes the content to have "No Copyright".  I don't know if this is true or not.  The posters are various versions of the advertising posters from the movies, originals and re-releases, so that might mean they were intended for public distribution and therefore, that might mean - no copyright.

I am not a lawyer, and I don't care to become one, so I'll leave it at this:  Below are URL addresses where you can find the posters on archive.org.  If you want to download them, that is up to you.

Here is the address for the copyright details:

And here is the address for the posters featuring Ginger Rogers (and many more featuring other stars):

There is a small article about Ginger Rogers, mentioning Fred Astaire, and some words about Alice Faye on the same page.  There is no mention of what magazine it is from but you might be able to guess the date:

They are from a magazine called La Cinematographie Francaise from April 30, 1937 and available in the Media History Digital Library.  Below are the URL addresses so that you may peruse the magazine, but only if you can read French, unlike me:

Your Radio Theater - Tom, Dick and Harry

It has been brought to my attention that the radio version, starring Miss Ginger Rogers of Tom, Dick and Harry, listed with the Lux Radio Theater items isn't actually a Lux Radio Theater show.  I've listened to the show a few times and it escaped my notice.  That shows you the value of an ear witness, I guess.  The show SOUNDS just like a Lux show.  The introduction is the same style, the music is the same and good old Cecil B. Demille is the director/host BUT this particular version is actually a Your Radio Theater production.  A big give away that this is a different show is Harry James playing the trumpet, with his Music Makers, and Helen Forrest singing where the Lux soap ads would have been.  A bigger hint is the announcer actually saying, "From Hollywood, Your Radio Theater" followed by "for all of you men and women in the armed forces of the United Nations."  It was produced by the "Special Service" from Hollywood, California. 

It is possible that the show originated as a Lux episode and, with just a few changes to the beginning, middle and ending, was rebroadcast for the troops overseas as part of a request series with a different title.  I've looked through some Old Time Radio (OTR) logs and haven't found any listings for other Your Radio Theater shows made during World War II (there is an NBC series of the same name in the 1950's but it doesn't appear to be the same one).  If I find anything else out, I'll add it here.

In the meantime, here is a photo from the making of the movie Tom, Dick and Harry, starring Ginger Rogers, George Murphy and some other fellas, from Motion Picture magazine:

Motion Picture magazine    July 1941


If you are searching on archive.org, the radio show is listed with the Lux Radio Theater shows from 1941 and you can find it here:

Top Hat - RKO Radio Preview

Photoplay Magazine    September 1935
This item just appeared on archive.org
It is a recording of a radio preview of songs from Top Hat, the movie, starring Miss Ginger Rogers and Mr. Fred Astaire.  It is a "sparkling romance set brilliantly to music."  What with the great Rogers-Astaire magic on the dance floor and the wonderful score by Irving Berlin, you'd just be crazy not to be crazy for it and I'm sure it will be a hit!  The record only runs for 13 minutes and 27 seconds but in that amount of time you get:

Fred Astaire singing "No Strings"
Fred Astaire singing "Isn't it a Lovely Day (to Be Caught in the Rain)"
Ginger Rogers singing "The Piccolino"
Fred Astaire singing "Cheek to Cheek"
and
Fred Astaire singing "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails"


Check it out at:

http://archive.org/details/FredAstaireAndGingerRogersRadioPromosForTopHatRoberta1935

I couldn't get the MP3 to play but the Ogg file (what a name) does work if you go to:
http://ia700602.us.archive.org/22/items/FredAstaireAndGingerRogersRadioPromosForTopHatRoberta1935/TopHat1935RadioPromo.ogg

The songs are those from the movie but only "No Strings" includes the sound of tapping feet after the song is done.

The "Hollywood (Is) on the Air" radio preview for Roberta is also on the page for your listening pleasure.  Other "Hollywood (Is) on the Air" items are listed here:

1940 U.S. Census Form

This item may only be for the true Ginger Rogers enthusiast.  Above is the 1940 United States Census form with Miss Ginger Rogers listed as living at 1605 Gilcrest Drive, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California.  This item is now in the public domain after being released by the U.S. government archives....
http://www.archives.gov/global-pages/larger-image.html?i=/press/press-releases/2012/nr12-99-photos/nr12-99-ginger-rogers-l.jpg&c=/press/press-releases/2012/nr12-99-photos/nr12-99-ginger-rogers.caption.html
The red arrow points Miss Rogers out for you.  Below is a closer view with the best that I can make out of the blurred type.
The address is 1605, I can't read what the 121 goes with but the O means the home is owned, the value of the home is $125,000, NO to it being a farm, with Rogers, Ginger as the sole name for "person whose usual place of residence" is this address,  and Rogers, Ginger is the "Head" of the house.

Next the resident identifies herself as F (female), W (white), 28 years old at last birthday, D (divorced), No to the question of whether resident was attending school as of March 1, highest level of education is listed as 8th grade (formal education anyway), with a birthplace of Missouri.  The last box asks where the resident lived April 1, 1935 and "Same Place" is written in.

Still in the Residence box, "On a farm" is answered No.  Moving on to employment questions, asked if employed - yes, (due to the yes answer, skip ahead to question 26), number of hours worked per week (I'm guessing, I really can't read much of this thing) - 44.

Occupation - Actress; Industry - Motion Picture; Class of Worker - PW (private worker); number of weeks worked 52, income 5,000.  I think the last question is about income other than wages and the answer is Yes but that is a big guess.

Ah, the Census, required by the U.S. Constitution yet so many people avoid it and here it is as history.  Too bad it is so hard to read.

Here's a picture of Miss Ginger Rogers from Photoplay magazine, June 1940:

Radio Shows from A-Z

Motion Picture magazine  July 1933
Below are all of the radio show appearances by Miss Ginger Rogers that I've found on archive.org, in alphabetical order.  Most of the old time radio (aka OTR) websites list everything by show.  However, if you know the artist and you don't know the show, that doesn't do you much good.  At least it didn't help me out much.

What you see below follows these guidelines:
  1. If there are 2 URLs listed, the first is for the main page where the show can be found and the second leads to the show playing.
  2. Shows with titles starting with the word "THE" are listed as if the show name started with the second word in the title.
  3. Shows with the same title are listed chronologically.
