Monday, August 19, 2024 sonntag 18 aug 2024. silent films 1230 at somerville thee-ate-er $12! WINGS; a WW I epic of two WWI flying aces in love triangle wid clara Bow "the IT gurl" (Bow Diddley wuz "the greatest lover in the world" and i had the 45!) Great photography of dogfights between the Sopwith Camel airplane (like Snoopy!) und der Deutsch Fokker (like Red Baron!). This 12 aug 27 silent came out a decade after WWI and the emcee before the movie said those were REAL bombs going off! They recreated the battle of Saint-Mihiel, 12-15 sept 1918 which mine and Miss Lyn's grandads both fought in; Red Baron had already been shot down (yay Snoopy!). riding back the 88 bus from one somerville zip code to another , I googled Clara Bow wikitree and her Bow ancestor, like my mother's scottish ancestor wuz both captured 1651 battle of Dunbar, scotland and transported to new england. Then the Bows were in colonial Middletown Ct. and Ma's revolutionary war ancestor's wife wuz also dere; even some distant cuzzin by marriage kinship! My mother and the It Girl!
