Her image is at tetaris.com/hpgen/HPB/entries/6 . What do they say about Louise Brooks (who's famous for her hairstyle)? The Louise Brooks Society would like to know!

This is a description of a book by Osvaldo Guerrieri, "Istantanee":

"Vi sono a volte delle fotografìe che, come autentiche istantanee, catturano il momento cruciale di una vita, l'attimo in cui si scioglie l'enigma di un'esistenza. Osvaldo Guerrieri si sofferma in questo libro su dieci fotografie di scrittori e artisti per svelare appunto il segreto delle loro vite. ... Louise Brooks, il sogno erotico di Hollywood, impegnata a odiare il cinema, a rinnegare il glamour e a trasformarsi in un vecchio cinese depositario di una indecifrabile saggezza; ... Dieci foto, dieci storie in cui i misfatti, le enormità, le bruciature interiori, perfettamente nascoste nel cuore di ciascuno, vengono a galla."

You'll be helping the Louise Brooks Society (q.v.). Thanks!

This is from a review of "Istantanee", a new book by OsvaldoGuerrieri: "Da un ignoto suonatore di fisarmonica a Luigi Pirandello sulla spiaggia di Camaiore, da Joyce a Pound, da Louise Brooks a Lina Cavalieri, da Gadda in auto a un «pezzetto di Lager», Istantanee racconta le immagini ma soprattutto lo sguardo che si posa su di esse. Come il tocco del risveglio."

Thanks!

The photo is at: http://louisebrooks.livejournal.com/ (posted "Thu., May 28th"). I figure its name is Pampa -- a Santa Fe town.

Which railroad had it? What type of car was it? When did it roll? etc.

It's pictured here, behind silent-movie actress Louise Brooks: http://louisebrooks.livejournal.com/ (posted Thursday, May 28th).

Guardami negli occhi

Spogliati da ogni falsit?

Quell'aura di purezza tradisce diaboliche anomalie

E sai di cosa sto parlando

di cosa ho bisogno

Eppure avrai il coraggio di chiamare l'evidenza casualit?

I think I understand the rest of the song.

Thanks for reading!

In this case, in conjunction with a certain hairstyle: the bob (coupe au carré).

It concerns Louise Brooks, and the two movies she made for G.W. Pabst in 1928-29.

"Stummfilmtage

"Die gleiche Rolle als verführerische Lulu spielt Louise Brooks in „Die Büchse der Pandora“ ... von G.W. Pabst, einem der faszinierendsten deutschen Filmklassiker. Das Stummfilmensemble Frieder Egri macht die Musik dazu.

"“Tagebuch einer Verlorenen“ ... ebenfalls mit Louise Brooks, war eine Art Fortsetzung dieses skandalumwitterten Films und wurde wie dieser von der Zensur heftig gezaust. Matthias Graf, Holger Ebeling und Ilmar Klahn sorgen für den musikalischen Teil der Aufführung der weitgehend rekonstruierten Originalfassung."

What do they say?

What does a young woman in Oulu have to say about Lulu (Louise Brooks) in this part of her blog?

""Pupu Lihaviston maailma"

"3-kymppisen hassulin ajatuksia muodista, musiikista ja kaikesta ei niin vakavasta."

"Tyylitellen-blogin Ellen tarjosi taannoisen Dita von Teese-haasteen jälkeen kenties vieläkin mieluisamman haasteen. Tämän haasteen tavoitteena oli pukeutua 1920-1930-lukujen tyyliin. Noitten vuosikymmenten tyylisuosikkini on sulokas 1920-luvun mykkäelokuvatähti, amerikkalainen Louise Brooks, jota päätinkin koettaa lihavistomaisesti jäljitellä. Inspiraatiokuvana toimi vuonna 1927 filmattu elokuva Now We're In the Air, jossa Louise esiintyi muun muassa tällaisessa tyllihamosessa ...

"1920-luvun meikkiin kuuluivat olennaisena osana voimakkaan tummanpunainen suppusuu ja salaperäiset vahvasti meikatut silmät. Jazztyttöjen tukka oli usein lyhyeksi leikattu, Louisen tyylinä oli lyhyt polkkatukka. Se on myös Lihaviston neidin virallinen hiusmalli, mutta harmikseni seuraava kampaajakäyntini on vasta ensi tiistaina. Hiusmallini onkin törkeän ylikasvanut, mutta saa nyt kuitenkin kelvata ...

Eurowoman magazine had this to say (in part) about a "festival" in Copenhagen:

Champagnen flød og alle dansede charleston til Golden Days festivalens ekstravagante tyverfest på Stærekassen. Se her, hvordan du selv kan pifte garderoben op med en snert af frivolsk flapper-stil. ...

Særligt skuespillerinden Louise Brooks er et ikon for tiden, og en muse for alle, der drømmer om en moderne tyverstil. ...

Louise Brooks: Feteret filmstjerne i 20’erne, kendt for sin skarpe sorte pagefrisure, der skabte mode over hele USA.

Se Louise i hendes mest kendte film, 'Pandora's Box' (aka. 'Lulu') fra 1929. Fås blandt andet på.

A method of either removing the correction fluid or reading through it is needed, for a library book about one of the founders of American dance, annotated by someone who danced with him in the Twenties.

It's at ... http://life.nen.com.cn/78827287130144768/20081016/... ... with a photo of Louise Brooks, who was in the 1929 German movie "Pandora's Box" ("Lulu").

What do they say??

N.B. I speak English, not Italian.

The kind people throw coins in for luck.

Or is Madison Sq. Park as close as they get?

I KNOW it's a funny question. It's for a story. Gotta plant the Secret Code in something a woman sets aside (in springtime). Not a purse.

I was going to add, "No baseball caps," but bedevilled can't be choosy.

P.S. This takes place in NYC.

O.K., that's a trick question. The novel, an alternate-world tale called "The Woodrow Wilson Dime," by Jack Finney, was FIRST published in 1968. In the other world that the main character enters, Paul Newman is a pharmacist, and a young woman is his assistant.

When the story was re-published as one of "3 by Finney" in 1987, the assistant's name became Glenn Close ... who had starred in a movie version of Finney's "Marion's Wall" in '85.

That answers the trick question, but the real question is: What is the pharmacist's assistant's name in the 1968 edition of "The Woodrow Wilson Dime"?

The answer is toward the end of Chapter 6. Perhaps your local library has a copy of the original....

(Plz, no answers that look like w y l d e guesses. And btw, it's a very funny story, especially recommended for dog lovers.)
