Thanks to our guest contributors!

Let's end with a few film clips:

• Frances Farmer and Mady Christians in Come and Get It (1936)

• Mary Pickford in Coquette (1929) - the cast struggles with affected southern twangs as they give this creaky melodrama a real drubbing—look for John St. Polis, Matt Moore, and William Janney (yikes, who hired him to play the brother?)—even so, it's an interesting early talkie

• two clips of James Stewart in Harvey (1950) - the first features Peggy Dow and Charles Drake as the frazzled doctor and nurse, Jesse White (briefly), and character actress Minerva Urecal (what a great face!); the second clip has James Stewart seated with his imaginary friend while Dow and Drake remain blissfully unaware of the giant invisible rabbit
