An interesting oddity from Elstree Calling, a British Revue film from 1930. This is a number by the Charlot Girls, hand-colored(!) using the Pathecolor process - if you've ever wondered what a high-end British music hall act looked like ... Click here for larger version.
Being a daily summary based upon my reading of the Wall Street Journal from the corresponding day in 1930-1931.
Motivation
Warren Buffett on reading old newspapers:
"I would get these newspapers from 1929. I couldn't get enough of it. I read everything - not just the business and stock-market stories. History is interesting, and there is something about history in a newspaper, just seeing a place, the stories, even the ads, everything. It takes you into a different world, told by someone who was an eyewitness, and you are really living in that time." - The Snowball, Schroeder, p. 148

"Here's your chance to win an exclusive dinner with Fred and Salma Hayek. Discuss depression economics and their relationship to Hollywood's portrayal of down-trodden unemployed folk during great socio-economic upheavals of the last hundred years."
