Hello from Banff: 1941

Photo stamped on back "Photograph by Associated Screen News Limited, Banff Springs Hotel, Banff, Alberta" with a handwritten "Sept. 1941" above. Original print measures 13 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches, with a hard-to-scan matte finish. I did some minor digital cleaning (dust and creases) and converted from faded sepia to grey for better contrast. Found at a Northeast Ohio flea market in a box of old pictures and purchased for $1. It was simply an interesting pre-war photo with great scenery, people, and clothing; take special note of the John C. Reilly -like mug front and center. I bet he was a character! View full size.

Today’s Top 5

Whodunit

We have the makings of an Agatha Christie novel, at least one. There is the usual cast of characters including 2 parish priests. What about the fellow in the back turned away from the camera, what's he hiding?

Miss Marple is in the rocker top left, overhearing the conversation of the two women at the wall behind her. The woman with the hankie says, "But, mother, Reginald told me that he did not know the murdered woman." Mother responds, "Of course, he always says that. Remember what happened to Gladys."
