Dec. 23, 1924: “The Last Laugh,” one of the crowning achievements of German expressionist cinema, is released. The film directed by F.W. Murnau about the tragic fall of a proud hotel doorman will revolutionize filmmaking with camera movements and visual storytelling. 1/7

A glorious array of 1960s Reader’s Digest Condensed Books — the ultimate yard-sale bookshelf decor — serves to boost “literary prestige” to Harmeet Dhillon, Trump’s voting rights foe and Assistant AG pick in this @DeadlineWH clip.

Re the Cormac McCarthy Vanity Fair piece… There’s a major red flag early in the piece. Fact check the paperback of THE ORCHARD KEEPER that Augusta Britt says led her to recognize McCarthy from the author photo on the back. Ain’t no author photo on the book. @dan_sinykin
Anyone want to predict the future of the rare first edition market for Cormac McCarthy titles in coming years? November 20, 2024 is the day the prices froze.

Nov. 20, 1924: It's a remarkable story of love's triumph over war. During WWI a German baron was shot and captured by U.S. soldier Charles Cummings; the wounded POW then fell for a nurse who happened to be Cummings' sister. The lovers are married today in Omaha, Neb. BUT... 1/4
