September 9 1932 Our header picture is of 1930 Sacramento. The attendant chart. Seems that this was a rather successful outing for Marc. See-Saw type, Ascendant is 26 Libra.

Richmond is now a suburb of the Seattle-Redmond-Kirkland metropolis. We noticed that the film-wright got notable mention but not the director. We think that shows his pull for silent film...

If not for Ed Dearborn's obit, previously highlighted here, we would know next to nothing about Ms. Aldrich other than she was born on May 17, 1875 in Des Moines Iowa. The Memorial site does not list her. Our next stop is Saturday, and gives 11:34 am for her birth time that is "from memory."... Continue Reading →
Mr Dearborn was a see-saw temperament type. The original chart from Astrologers Memorial. The writeup on Mr. Dearborn is on Donna Cunningham's Astrologer's Memorial; we are just supplying the chart based on their records since when I clicked on it the chart disappeared.
