BACK PAGES

NEW ORLEANS LADY
Viña Delmar was a prolific and popular 20th-Century novelist, playwright and screenwriter, now almost completely forgotten, except perhaps for her screen adaptation of Arthur Richman’s play The Awful Truth, starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, for which she received an Academy Award nomination.
She specialized in slightly racy romances. New Orleans Lady looks intriguing.
VINTAGE LAS VEGAS
16mm home movies of Las Vegas from 1962. The soundtrack doesn’t quite fit but the image are priceless.
With thanks to reader Jim Erskine.
