The film idol is depicted as he appeared in the 1941 western “Riders of the Purple Sage.” At 84, he was designing the piece when he died in 2000 at his Mission Hills Country Club home. Montgomery rose to fame during Hollywood’s golden years, his career taking off after starring in “The Lone Ranger” in 1939. He went on to star in 87 films and several television shows. He married singer and television star Dinah Shore in 1943 and the two were active in the Coachella Valley. They divorced in 1972.

The first issue of the 3 cent George Washington stamp came in several colors. It is difficult to distinguish the color differences, but there were pink, brown/rose, rose and lake versions of this stamp.
This particular stamp is in mint condition (unused) and is probably red or rose. See the next stamp for a pink version. The Scott Catalog prices for stamps are meant for perfectly centered stamps that are in very fine condition and the mint backing can not be disturbed by hinges. Obviously this stamp is not centered and it has at one time had a hinge applied to the back. For that reason it is probably worth about 1/4 the catalog value of $125.00. The pink issue in perfect mint condition is worth $14,000.00.
The 1861 issues do not have the grill imprint as do the 1867 issues (see the next stamp posted for an example of grilling.)

Georges Melchior (1889-1944) was a French film actor, active in French cinema between 1911 and 1937, and known for the Fantômas serials by Louis Feuillade (1913-1914), and L'Atlantide (1921).
Georges Melchior was born 15 September 1889 in Paris. In 1910 he made his first film at Pathé Frères (L'Envieuse), but quickly shifted to rival company Gaumont. After several shorts at Gaumont, he had his breakthrough in 1913 as the journalist Jérôme Fandor in Louis Feuillade's crime serial Fantômas - À l'ombre de la guillotine (1913), with René Navarre as the title character and criminal mastermind. Its success inspired the sequels Juve contre Fantomas/ Fantomas II (1913), La Mort qui tue/ Fantomas III (1913), Fantômas contre Fantômas/ Fantômas IV (1914), and Le Faux Magistrat/ Fantômas V (1914), in which Melchior all played. Parallel to this, Melchior acted in several modern realist dramas, historical films, and comedies at Gaumont, often directed by Feuillade but also by René Le Somptier and Henri Fescourt. During the First World War, Melchior's film career slowed down to a handful of films, including the French propaganda film Mères françaises (Louis Mercanton, 1917) starring Sarah Bernhardt, and after that, he was away from the film sets for several years.
In 1921, Melchior returned with a bang in Jacques Feyder's Orientalist mystery drama L'Atlantide (1921), set and partly filmed in North Africa, and starring Jean Angelo and Stacia Napierkowska. Melchior played lieutenant Saint-Avit, who, pushed by vengeful, fatal desert queen Antinea (Napierkowska,) kills his rival in love and army buddy captain Morhange (Angelo), who has rejected Antinea. Helped with Antinea's servant Tanit-Zerga (Marie-Louise Iribe), Saint-Avit flees and is found in the desert by soldiers, but he cannot forget Antinea. So years after, he returns to his desert queen.
The success of L'Atlantide guaranteed Melchior a fruitful career in French silent cinema of the 1920s, even if he not always had the male lead and mostly had a limited number of films per year. His films of the 1920s include e.g. Les Roquevillard (Julien Duvivier, 1922), Les Hommes nouveaux (Émile-Bernard Donatien and Édouard-Émile Violet, made in 1922 but released in 1923), and La Voyante (Leon Abrams, 1924) - starring Sarah Bernhardt and with Melchior in the male lead. When in 1923 Sarah Bernhardt died during the production of the latter film, the actress Jeanne Brindeau replaced her as double, which much delayed the release of the film. The story deals with the son of a politician (Melchior), thrown out of the house by his father (Harry Baur), who suspects him of having an affair with his mother-in-law (Mary Marquet). He is rescued by a painter and hosted in a house that is also inhabited by an old medium (Bernhardt). In the end, all ends well and the son marries the medium's daughter (Lily Damita). The film was scripted by Sacha Guitry, had costumes by Paul Poiret, and was partly shot at Bernhardt's own home, but unfortunately, it is a lost film.
In the early 1920s, Melchior often acted in films by Gaston Roudès (Le Lac d'argent, 1922; Le Petit Moineau de Paris, 1923; Les Rantzeau, 1923; also in the later 1920s in Le Dédale, 1926; La Maison au soleil, 1928), while in the later 1920s he often acted with Donatien (Mon curé chez les riches, 1925; Au revoir...et merci / Pneumatiques, 1926; Florine, la fleur du Valois, 1926) and René Le Somptier, his former director at Gaumont (the Belgian film La Forêt qui tue, 1926; the serial Le P'tit Parigot, 1926). In La Sirène des Tropiques (Henri Etievant and Mario Nalpas, 1927) Melchior is a marquis who tries to prevent the marriage between his nephew (Pierre Batcheff) and his goddaughter (Régina Thomas) - as he eyes her himself - by sending him off to the Antilles, where he hopes an evil aid will kill him, but a young local (Josephine Baker) saves him.
Melchior seems to have quite easily made the passage to sound cinema, as he was still visible in some nine films between 1930 and 1933. His first sound film probably was Les saltimbanques ( Robert Land, Lucien Jaquelux, 1930), a Franco-German musical comedy with e.g. Käthe von Nagy, Nicolas Koline and Max Hansen. By now, Melchior played supporting parts as the older man, such as the rich father of Harry Krimer in Les vagabonds magnifiques (Gennaro Dini, 1931), also starring Nadia Sibirskaïa; and the colonel in the comedy Le billet de logement ( Charles-Félix Tavano, 1932). Gradually, his parts became smaller and smaller, though he still was billed on posters such as that for Le grand bluff (Maurice Champreux, 1933), starring José Noguero and Florelle. He also had a major part in La Vierge du rocher (Georges Pallu, 1933), about a young boy who starts walking again because of the Virgin of Lourdes. After a gap of years, Melchior had a last supporting part in the period piece La citadelle du silence (Marcel L'Herbier, 1937), starring Annabella, but his name was not on the film's posters anymore.
Georges Melchior died on 2 September 1944 at Levallois-Perret (Seine). All in all, he acted in some 67 films.

From "A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans", written & compiled by William E. Connelley:
Greorge W. Hurd
GEORGE W. HURD. In 1869, a few years after the close of the war in which he had fought for the Union with an Illinois regiment, George W. Hurd pioneered into Dickinson County, Kansas, and established himself on a homestead. However, during his long residence in the county and at the City of Abilene, he has been best known and distinguished as a lawyer. He was one of the pioneer members of the bar, and has long held a place of leadership in the profession and in public affairs.
Born at Lafayette, Illinois, June 20, 1846, he has recently passed the mark of three score and ten, and to some degree is lightening the professional burdens on his own shoulders and shifting them to his sons, two of whom are active lawyers. His own parents were Theodore F. and Catherine M. (Driscoll) Hurd. Theodore F. Hurd was born in 1814 at Sparta, New Jersey, a son of Stephen and Nancy (Henchman) Hurd, natives of the same state. Theodore Hurd, who died at Galva, Illinois, in 1899, spent his active career as a merchant. It is noteworthy that he was elected a member of the Illinois Legislature from Stark County in 1860, his name as a candidate being on the same ticket as that of Abraham Lincoln, who at that time headed the republican ticket as candidate for president. Catherine M. Driscoll was born in 1824 in Connecticut and died at Galva, Illinois, in 1904. She was the mother of five children, three sons and two daughters.
George W. Hurd spent his boyhood at Galva, Illinois, attended the public schools there, and his education was still incomplete when he enlisted in Company G of the One Hundred and Thirty-second Illinois Infantry and went away to fight the battles of his country.
From the homestead which he took up when he came to Dickinson County in 1869, Mr. Hurd removed to Abilene in 1877, and opened a law office, beginning the active practice of law which he has continued ever since. In 1880 he was elected county attorney of Dickinson County, an office he held six consecutive years, by repeated elections. As a republican he has long been a forceful leader in his party in that part of the state. He has been a delegate to state conventions and otherwise has rendered yeoman's service for the republican cause. Fraternally he is a member of Abilene Post No. 63, Grand Army of the Republic.
On April 4, 1869, the year he came to Kansas, he was married at Davenport, Iowa, to Miss Ella Frances Comstock. Mrs. Hurd was born at Little Falls, New York, April 4, 1850, and after an ideally happy married life of more than forty-five years she passed away at her home in Abilene June 3, 1915. She was a daughter of Francis A. and Anna M. (Boothroy) Comstock, who were also natives of New York. Mrs. Hurd was a very religious woman, active in church, and also long prominent in clubs and literary circles at Abilene. As a member of the Federation of Women's Clubs she was a delegate to both state and national conventions.
Mr. and Mrs. Hurd had four children, all sons. Theo W., born May 20, 1872, died May 20, 1878. Paul, born May 20, 1875, died May 20, 1904, just at the entrance to a promising career as a lawyer, having begun practice after graduating from the law department of the University of Michigan. Arthur Hurd, who was born February 10, 1878, is also a graduate of the law department of the University of Michigan, and is now actively associated with his father in the firm of Hurd & Hurd; in 1909 he married Miss Maud Rogers, and they have two children, George Arthur and Janet. Bruce Comstock, the youngest son of Mr. Hurd, was born January 1, 1890, was graduated from the Abilene High School in 1909, and from the law department of the University of Kansas with the class of 1914, and since his admission to the bar has practiced as a junior member of Hurd & Hurd. He was married November 20, 1913, to Miss Madeline Nachtman, a daughter of Andrew Nachtman, of Junction City, Kansas, where she was born July 23, 1893.

Spanish postcard, no. 9. Photo: Bengala Films. George Hamilton in All the Fine Young Cannibals (Michael Anderson, 1960)
Dashing American actor George Hamilton (1939) was one of the last contracted Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stars. He won a Golden Globe for his film debut in Crime and Punishment U.S.A. (1959). Although he has a substantial body of work in film and television, he is most famous for his debonair style, perpetual suntan and jet-setting playboy image.
George Stevens Hamilton was born in Memphis, TN, in 1939. He was the son of Anne Lucille (Stevens) Potter Hamilton Hunt Spaulding and her husband (of four), George William "Spike" Hamilton, a touring bandleader. George's older half-brother, William Potter, became an interior decorator for Eva Gabor Interiors in Palm Springs. Moving extensively as a youth due to his father's work, young George got a taste of acting in plays while attending Palm Beach High School. With his exceedingly handsome looks and attractive personality, he took a bold chance and moved to Los Angeles in the late 1950s. MGM saw in George a budding talent with photogenic appeal. After some guest appearances on TV, he made his film debut as the lead in Crime & Punishment, USA (Denis Sanders, 1959), an offbeat, updated adaptation of the Fyodor Dostoevsky novel. While the film was not overwhelmingly successful, George's heartthrob appeal was obvious. He was awarded a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer and was nominated for Best Foreign Actor by the British Film Academy (BAFTA). This led to a series of films, including the memorable Southern melodrama Home from the Hill (Vincente Minnelli, 1960), which starred Robert Mitchum and Eleanor Parker and featured another handsome, up-and-coming George (George Peppard). In Angel Baby (Paul Wendkos, 1961), he played an impressionable lad who meets up with evangelist Mercedes McCambridge. In Light in the Piazza (Guy Green, 1962), he portrayed an Italian playboy who falls madly for American tourist Yvette Mimieux to the ever-growing concern of her mother, Olivia de Havilland. He also appeared in such dreary no-brainers as All the Fine Young Cannibals (Michael Anderson, 1960) with Robert Wagner, Where the Boys Are (1960), with Dolores Hart, and Looking for Love (1964). George acted in several biopics - as playwright Moss Hart in Act One (Dore Schary, 1963), as ill-fated country star Hank Williams in Your Cheatin' Heart (Gene Nelson, 1964), and as the famed daredevil Evel Knievel (Marvin J. Chomsky, 1971), a film which he also produced. The rest of the 1960s and 1970s, he rested on his fun-loving, idle-rich charm that bore a close resemblance to his off-camera image in the society pages.
As the 1960s began to unfold, George Hamilton started making headlines more as a handsome escort to the rich, the powerful and the beautiful than as an acclaimed actor -- none more so than his 1966 squiring of President Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Lynda Bird Johnson. He was also once engaged to actress Susan Kohner, a former co-star. Below-average films such as Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding! (1967) and The Power (1968) effectively ended his initially strong ascent to film stardom. Hamilton went into television in 1969, supporting Lana Turner in the all-star series Harold Robbins' The Survivors (1969–70). From the 1970s on, George tended to be tux-prone on standard film and TV comedy and drama, whether as a martini-swirling opportunist, villain or lover. He had a supporting role in The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing (Richard C. Sarafian, 1973), starring Burt Reynolds. He produced and appeared in Medusa (Gordon Hessler, 1973). He starred in the TV movie The Dead Don't Die (Curtis Harrington, 1975) and had a supporting role in Once Is Not Enough (Guy Green, 1975) with Kirk Douglas. A wonderful comeback for him came in the form of the disco-era Dracula spoof Love at First Bite (Stan Dragoti, 1979), which he executive-produced. Nominated for a Golden Globe as the campy neck-biter displaced and having to fend off the harsh realities of New York living, he continued on the parody road successfully with Zorro: The Gay Blade (Peter Medak, 1981) in the Mel Brooks tradition. This renewed popularity led to a one-year stint on Dynasty during the 1985-1986 season and a string of fun, self-mocking commercials, particularly his Ritz Cracker and (Toasted!) Wheat Thins appearances that often spoofed his overly tanned appearance. He broke through the reality show ranks by hosting The Family (2003), which starred numerous members of a traditional Italianate family vying for a $1,000,000 prize, and participated in the second season of Dancing with the Stars (2005), where his charm and usual impeccable tailoring scored higher than his limberness. He played flamboyant publisher William Randolph Hearst in the Mini-series Rough Riders (John Milius, 1997), and the best-looking Santa Claus ever in A Very Cool Christmas (2004). In 1989, he started a line of skin-care products and a chain of tanning salons. Into the millennium, he starred with Joe Mantegna and Danny Aiello as as three celebrity tenors in Spanish-British-Italian comedy Off Key (Manuel Gómez Pereira, 2001). He also appeared in the Woody Allen comedy Hollywood Ending (2002), and the satire The L.A. Riot Spectacular (Marc Klasfeld, 2005). The comedy-drama My One and Only (Richard Loncraine, 2009), starring Renée Zellweger, is loosely based on George Hamilton's early life on the road with his mother and brother. The film is based on anecdotes that Hamilton had told to producer Robert Kosberg and Merv Griffin. On TV, Hamilton enhanced several programs, including Nash Bridges, Pushing Daisies, and Hot in Cleveland. He also had a recurring role on the series American Housewife (2016). In the cinema, he could be seen in the political drama The Congressman (Robert Mrazek, 2016) with Treat Williams, the family dramedy Silver Skies (Rosemary Rodriguez, 2016), and the romantic comedy Swiped (Ann Deborah Fishman, 2018). Beginning in the summer of 2016, Hamilton appeared in TV commercials as the 'Extra Crispy' sun-tanned version of KFC's Colonel Harland Sanders. He later played the Colonel on an episode of General Hospital. George managed one brief marriage to actress/TV personality Alana Stewart from 1972 to 1975 (she later married and divorced rock singer Rod Stewart), the pair have a son, actor Ashley Hamilton, born in 1974. Another son, George Thomas Hamilton, born in 2000, came from his involvement with Kimberly Blackford. George Hamilton was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard in 2009

A statue of a younger George Washington stands outside his headquarters in Winchester, VA.
George Washington used a little log building as a military office from September 1755 to December of 1756 while Fort Loudoun was being constructed at the north end of town. Winchester played an important role in George Washington’s early adult life; his military and political career began here. As a young man of sixteen, he came to the area to begin what he thought would be his life’s profession, surveying. With the earnings from his surveying business he was able to buy a number of acres around Frederick County and also a lot in the town that enabled him to serve as a Burgess from Frederick County 1758-1765. During the French and Indian War, he commanded the Virginia Regiment from his headquarters in Winchester.

The Radio Cinema, Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, opened in 1937. It was later aquired by George Palmer's Associated GP Cinemas group, when it became the George. It is seen here in the 1980s as a bingo hall.
George Washington was the 1st President of the United States. He was also a member of the Continental Congress that would sign the Association and later the United State Constitution. His rise to glory started as a General during the French and Indian War and would go on as Commanding General during the Revolutionary War, although he would always introduce himself as just a farmer.
In 1753, the French Army sided with all Indian tribes to force British out of the country. Their first act was to occupy the Ohio Valley. This was controlled by the British and considered split land between Pennsylvania and Virginia. The British sent Washington to the valley to deliver a message to the French asking them to vacate the area. The French refused and this starting the French and Indian War.
Washington was put as an aid to British General Edward Braddock. In 1755, Braddock would be killed in battle and George Washington would take charge to lead the army. The troops were forced to retreat but Washington was promoted to General for his heroism for taking charge and his composure on the battlefield. Washington was given General of Virginia Regiment and is considered the first Regiment or army controlled by colonies. All other parts of army was British ruled or just militia. Washington would take his army and march west where he would lead a charge against Fort Duquesne in present day Pittsburgh forcing the French to retreat and open up the Ohio Valley.
Soon after this major victory, Washington would retire from the British Army. He would return back to his home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia, where he would continue his job as a farmer. It was as a farmer that Washington would take pride, and when introduced, he would always be referred to as George Washington, the farmer, not President or general. He would soon meet and marry widower Martha Dainbridge Custis. She would have 2 children who George would raise as his own because he would never have children with Martha.
With the outbreak of the Revolutionary War coming, all colonies called what they referred to as a Constitutional Convention. Washington would attend Virginia's and be elected as a delegate to join the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. In 1774, as a member of the 1st Continental Congress, Washington would help right and sign the Articles of Association. These articles were sent to the Queen of England and highlighted the cruelties of the throne and British control over the colonies. The Association would later serve as a rough draft for the Declaration of Independence. The Articles of Association were ignored by the Queen and the Colonies were forced to declare their independence from England.
In 1775, when the 2nd Continental Congress was decided, Washington would again serve as delegate from Virginia. He would arrive in Philadelphia in his war suit ready for war. So instead of serving in the Congress, John Adams of Massachusetts nominated Washington as General and Commander of all Continental forces. Washington thought he wasn't capable of this honor but accepted. Washington, however, served in the British Army where he was a General and learned how to lead a British Army and fight with a British Army. It made him an easy candidate.
Washington would take over the army with different goals. He would train the Army, since most men were common men and never served in the Army. He would also lead this army he trained and put together against the Crown without surrendering until the war was over. And that he did.
Throughout this war, Washington would lead this army with his head held high and ready to take down any obstacle in their way. He would however be defeated in over half the battles he led. But he never surrendered. He would almost be captured at the Battle of Long Island but was able to escape and flee New York. In 1777, he had his men camped out at Valley Forge for the winter. Over the next 6 months, thousands of his men died at Valley Forge from disease. Congress did not have the money to send supplies like clothes or food. The army almost decided to over throw Washington but Washington would help raise the morale of the soldiers. He would have all local farmers donate food and would bring in Generals Marque de Lafayette and Frederick Von Steuben. They would train the soldiers in gorilla warfare and how to beat the British Army. The next few years, the Army started defeating the British one battle at a time. It would all come to an end in 1781 when Washington would lead his men to Yorktown and surround British Major General Lord Cornwallis bringing an end to the war.
After the war, Washington would give his farewell speech to his troops at Fraunces Tavern in New York and then retire to his home Mount Vernon. He would again be sent to Philadelphia in 1787 to help rewrite a new Constitution because the Articles of Confederation were to vague and causing problems in the newly formed states. Washington would preside over the congress and help write the new Constitution. He would then be one of the signers to sign the United States Constitution. One thing in the Constitution was that a new government would be formed with one man presiding it. Washington would be voted and sworn in as the 1st President of the United States.
Washington serves as 1st President with no idea on how to run a whole government. But he considered himself a man of the people and it was his duty to serve the people. Washington helped set up a nation built on laws and government. He set up a good Judicial System to preside over cases instead of having one man decide the outcome. Washington also set up a treasury to control government spending and helped set up a banking system. Washington spent 2 terms as President of the United States but spent all his time setting up a nation for the future. He retired after 2 terms because he felt that he would always be elected if he ran, and if only one man serves as President, he would be no different then a king, which is why we declared our independence from England in the first place.
