MONROE DOCTRINE
Our rule around here: when in doubt, post Marilyn.

Publicity images are used for multiple purposes, and today we have a 1954 promo shot of Marilyn Monroe that was also used for a post card, which you see just below. Under that we have other shots from the session, reversed. One of those reversed versions appeared later that year on an Israeli magazine, partnered with a shot of Mamie Van Doren. And finally the truly priceless version, featuring Marilyn flipped back around again and slightly slenderized, was used on the breathtaking Japanese promo poster at bottom. There are thousands of Monroe images in existence, but this poster is one of the most rare. Enjoy it, and enjoy Christmas too.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN
You want at least five—count ’em—five accessories with your outfit.


Here’s a movie we’ve seen a bunch—The Enforcer, with Humphrey Bogart and Zero Mostel. The film’s Israeli promo art is fantastic, and is another example of Bogie’s impeccable fashion sense. He proves here that it’s possible to pull off the very tricky fedora/bowtie/pistol look, and as a bonus, he even rocks a pocket square and sports a couple of rings. It’s not for amateurs, but if you think you’ve got the moxie, try this multiple accessory look and see if you don’t get laid. In the meantime we have more great Enforcer posters below from Germany, Poland, Italy, and Spain.

1933—Roosevelt Addresses Nation
Franklin D. Roosevelt uses the medium of radio to address the people of the United States for the first time as President, in a tradition that would become known as his "fireside chats". These chats were enormously successful from a participation standpoint, with multi-millions tuning in to listen. In total Roosevelt would make thirty broadcasts over the course of eleven years.

1927—Roxy Theatre Opens
In New York City, showman and impresario Samuel Roxy Rothafel opens the Roxy Theatre, a 5,920-seat cinema. Rothafel would later open Radio City Music Hall in 1932, which featured the precision dance troupe the Roxyettes, later renamed the Rockettes. Rothafel died in 1936, but his Roxy remained one of America's greatest film palaces until it was closed and demolished in 1960.
