Eugenie Blair (1864-1922) was what theater people would call a real trouper — the actress dropped dead after a performance of “Anna Christie” at the Cort Theater in Chicago.
June 1904. “Lyceum Theatre, Detroit.” Onstage this week: Eugenie Blair in “Claire or the Ironmaster.” 8×10 inch dry plate glass negative.
The 1960s saw several SoCal family vacations to visit my sister and her family, and this time the whole slew of us took in Knott’s Berry Farm, where I took 18 color slides, as opposed the over 40 I shot in Disneyland. So that’ll show you. Faux-reality fan that I was, I liked wandering around Knott’s old western-style buildings, cement cliffs and miniature buildings, but no doubt about it, Disneyland was my heaven on earth. Oh, and it was nice seeing the family, too.
