My report on the resource is here: http://thebioscope.net/2012/07/20/margaret-herrick-library-digital-collections/

Bruce,

That issue of PANTOMIME is spectacular! Thanks much!

The excellent Media History Digital Library now has a complete run of Moving Picture World from it's inception in 1907 thru 1919. They are seeking funding to complete the run thru the journal's demise in 1927. http://mediahistoryproject.org/" target="_blank

Also, I scanned some pages from microfilm of the 1922-23 Morning Telegraph. The text is generally readable, but text search is not reliable; you could miss something useful if you don't browse.

Those were Parsons' last columns for the Morning Telegraph before she was hired by Hearst and went to the New York American.

Sidenote: In Hollywood Babylon there was a photo with the caption "On board the Oneida, Marion Davies welcomes Tom Ince". That photo has since been used on several websites, with similar identification. But it was really a photo of her greeting her director, Robert Vignola, and was published over a year before the Ince event, as you can see here: http://archive.org/stream/MorningTelegr ... 1/mode/1up
