A captured and either produced from the negative or another postcard of the highest scoring aviator of the Great War. Although officially credited with 80 air victories, his score and his entire life remains something of a debate even today among scholars and admirers.
Manfred is a fixture at City Hall. He's there, most days, with his rat family. I'm glad I did my usual and asked permission to take his photo, because another photographer came along and didn't ask, just started shooting, and Manfred well, he went a little bonkers.
Seen at the Southsea Spectacular bus rally in June 1998 is Emsworth & District Van Hool T815 Acron C49FT TJI8792. The coach, named 'Manfred', was new to Fulton of Langley Park as VFT203Y.
Mexican postcard by M.R.M., no. 3630. This is Claire Rommer, not Ita Rina. This portrait is from the film Der Walzerkönig/The Waltz King (Manfred Noa, 1930), in which the two actresses starred together. Collection: Marlene Pilaete.
Elegant German actress Claire Rommer (1904 - 1996) appeared in about 50 German film productions during the 1920s and the early 1930s. Her successful career suddenly ended with the seizure of power by the Nazis.
Claire Rommer was born as Klara Romberger in Berlin, Germany, in 1904. Although her parents had sent her to a boarding-school she defied the opposition of her family and attended the famous Max-Reinhardt-Schule in Berlin. Almost 17-years old, she debuted as a temporary assistant at the Neuen Volkstheater (New People's Theater) and the Volksbühne (People's Stage). As a soubrette, she later appeared repeatedly in operettas and comedies on the Berlin stage, especially at the Lustspielhaus (comedy house). In the season of 1925/1926 she was committed to the Vereinigten Bühnen (United Stages). However she became best known as a film actress. She appeared as a lover or a salon lady in dozens of silent films of the 1920s. Rommer made her film debut in Wem nie durch Liebe Leid geschah/Those Who Never Suffered From Love (Heinz Schall, 1922) starring Johannes Riemann. With a light touch she then played leading and supporting roles in such films as Menschen und Masken/People and Masks (Harry Piel, 1923), Die eiserne Braut/The Iron Bride (Carl Boese, 1925) opposite Otto Gebühr, Qualen der Nacht/Torments of the Night (Kurt Bernhardt aka Curtis Bernhardt, 1926) with Ernö Verebes, Herkules Maier (Alexander Esway, 1927) and Kinderseelen klagen euch an/Children’s Souls Accuse You (Kurt Bernhardt, 1927) with Carla Bartheel.
When the sound film was introduced, Claire Rommer also did vocal numbers. She played successfully in the productions Aschermittwoch/Ash Wednesday (Johannes Meyer, 1930), Der Walzerkönig/The Waltz King (Manfred Noa, 1930) opposite Hans Stüwe, Es geht um alles/It’s About Everything (1932, Max Nosseck) with Luciano Albertini, and Tausend für eine Nacht/ A Thousand for One Night (Max Mack, 1933). In 1934 she appeared on stage in the Revue Scala – etwas verrückt (Scala - A Little Crazy) in Berlin at the Scala Theater, when her film and stage career suddenly ended because of the seizure of power by the Nazis. In 1927 she had married the Jewish entrepreneur Adolf Strenger. In July 1938 she was excluded from any activity in the German film industry on the grounds that she probably was not Aryan too. In 1940 she emigrated with her husband from France via Lisbon to the USA. There she divorced Strenger and married a multi-millionaire from the meat industry. She never appeared in a film again. The last reference to Claire Rommer dates from 1981 from Long Island. Claire Rommer died of pneumonia in 1996, at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

This was my second choice for today's photo. But seeing him having lunch won out.
Our Daily Challenge: Off center
Manfred von Richthofen decorated his bedroom in his parent's home in East Prussia with trophies of his air victories. When Richthofen died the same thing would happen to souvenirs from his aircraft.
I was house sitting (don't tell my daycare clients I do that) for my favourite dog ever, Manfred (don't tell my own dogs I said that), and had chance to see him resting at home. This is my first good iPhone 4S photo and my first use of Instagram.
I now officially need someone to spend 1/2 an hour with me showing each new technology or App when they come out. I must be getting old or my brain too full to be able to absorb any more new info.
