“Moonlight on the Bruges Canals” … the poplar trees along the Bruge and Damme Canals ( Bruges is in Belgium) a popular subject of Eaton’s, though he was better known as a painter of American landscapes.

One site says ca 1905-10, another 1880-90. Take your pick

A similar view that he painted of the canals sold a few years ago at auction for $10,650

From that angle you can’t see what he’s standing on to make him taller than Bergman.

Must be a big deal premiere or something.

Even to us when I was a kid.

But there are no children in this audience and everybody’s really dressed up, so I thought it might also be a premiere.

Then again, maybe at first it was a fancy event, to go see any 3D movie.

I didn’t find the cartoon because Google Lens won’t search gifs.

I ran across a recent theory that gravity is actually slowing time down, thus negating the need for dark matter and dark energy. It’s supposedly consistent with Einstein’s theories. It will be interesting to see what the mathemeticians and astrophysicists do with this. Possibly like the when the phlogiston theory was disproved if it pans out.

No, I was in a different zone…. one that’s later than school hours. Just before dark, in fact.

As fair as I’ve been able to find out, this was taken in 1945… When

the girl in the picture
Elizabeth Taylor
was only 13 years old.

The

horse film you reference….
National Velvet
was released in 1944, when she was 12.

According to a couple of sources, this was her own cat, from a book of celebrities with their pets…
Though another site says some of them are pictured with animals from their films instead.

I read one of her very first, uncredited, roles was Helen Burns in the Orson Welles/Joan Fontaine version of Jane Eyre.

That is
“Double Indemnity” (1944), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray.

I’ll take a stab at it, but I truly do not know if I’m right.

SPOILER?
Double Indemnity, with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck.

I guess I never actually submitted my strip comment.

Oops.

I wondered whether Cleo flattening out her horn made her notes flat too.

Some embouchure for a dog… those big basset jowls couldn’t hurt.
