April commences the Month of Lionel, given his lie to his biographer that he was born April 12, when it's actually April 28, 1878. No, I have no idea why he did that, other than an occasionally puckish humor.
I'm trying to think of some novel stuff for the blog, though it's kind of busy in work/life. However, I did finally acquire something I've had my eye on for a while:
This is a 1922 Canadian Tobacco Products Corp Card (#13 of 100 it seems), which I got from eBay for a nice price. The image below is apparently from the same shoot. He had just appeared in Boomerang Bill and was all kinds of handsome. I can generally figure out what the card said. Given the age, it's in quite good shape on the front.
So keep an eye out here for the lovely month of Lionel, and I'll try to provide some entertainment, or at least information.
Happy April!
