Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. This year is the Year of the Monkey. Thanks to listal.com, here is Buster Keaton with his co-star in
The Cameraman, Josephine the little monkey. Josephine also appeared with Harold Lloyd in
The Kid Brother. She was a great actress.
San Francisco's Chinese New Year Parade will be held on February 20 this year.

Jack Barrymore and his beloved Clementine:
(The little beastie got so jealous of Dolores, it was later sent to a zoo.)

I was never so offended as when I discovered the Chinese had decided my birthyear was a Year of the Sheep.
I am NOT a member of the sheeple!
Bah! (and I do mean "Bah", not "Baa".)

(and don't call me "Jimmy Skunk", either)

You're lucky. How would you like to be born in the Year of the Pig?

Even the year of the pig is better than the year of the snake or the year of the rat.

Lunar New Year celebrations in San Francisco end tonight with the parade, which has been going on every year for over 150 years.
To celebrate the Year of the Monkey, here is one more photo of Josephine, this time with Harold Lloyd in
The Kid Brother, which is one of my favorites. Josephine was a remarkably talented little monkey.
Next year is the Year of the Rooster. Pathe and Foghorn Leghorn and maybe Chanticleer, here we come...
