...Yes, she must be tipping that sales at 91 pounds!<br /><br />I believe this photo is later than 1912. Probably 1918ish. The Library of Congress dates the more well-known version as 1922, but that feels too late.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-72926782638177079892014-01-07T00:46:46.895-08:002014-01-07T00:46:46.895-08:00Heh heh. :D Now...I just need to get going on actu...Heh heh. :D Now...I just need to get going on actually writing a screenplay.

Speakin...Yes, forbidden fruit creates many jams...<br /><br />Speaking of jam, Bess appears to have put on a little weight in that unpublished photo. Looks to be about 1912. Another great photo!

It's in the Hardeen memorial issue of Conjurers.<br />And Bessie told Arnold Furst about being on a streetcar with Harry and they saw a wedding party coming out of a church, he proposed and she accepted. <br />I believe the three marriages are for real.

Maybe Dash wasn't too broke up about it, as he was a ladies' man himself, and just shrugged his shoulders and thought "Oh well, I guess I can get another gal quick enough"?
