Charles Prince (1872-1933), aka just ‘Prince’ ,was a French film actor, director and writer. He was famous for his countless comical shorts with his alter ego Rigadin.
Charles Ernest René Petitdemange - better known as Charles Prince - was born at Maisons-Laffitte (Yvelines) on 27 April 1872 – though some mention his birthplace as Petitdemange, near Paris. Prince’s father was a manufacturer of artificial silk and had planned for his son to study commerce and assist him. Prince chose otherwise. He had his theatrical debut in 1896 at the Theatre de l’Odéon in the play La Bodinière, using a first pseudonym: Seigneur. Around the turn-of-the-century Charles took the stage name of Prince and became a popular boulevard theatre star, cherished for his comic performances at the Theatre des Variétés, as in Ma Tante de Honfleur. After a decade Pathé Frères managed to hire him in 1908 to act in their films. Right from the beginning almost of his films were directed by Georges Monca, mostly for the Pathé subsidiary SCAGL (Société Cinématographique des Auteurs et Gens de Lettres). Already in 1909 Prince acted in almost 20 shorts such as a few with Mistinguett (e.g. Fleur de pavé, Michel Carré/ Albert Capellani 1909). This number greatly increased in the subsequent year 1910, when Prince introduced his character of Rigadin: ¾ of his film performances that year – over 30 films - were as Rigadin. Monca also directed all of the Rigadin shorts. While in 1911 Prince played in some 23 Rigadin comedies, 1912 was a top year with some 45 Rigadin shorts. In 1913 some Prince did some 30 Rigadin shorts and in 1914 22 ones despite the outbreak of the First World War and the temporary collapse of the French film industry then. In the early 1910s Prince/Rigadin was extremely popular throughout the world, rivalling with – the now better known - Max Linder. What both actors helped, was that they worked for Pathé, the first multinational in film history, which had a clockwork production output, massive distribution and promotion around the globe, and even its own global network of cinemas. In Germany Rigadin was known as Moritz, in Britain and the US as Whiffles, in Italy as Tartufini, in Spain as Salustiano, and in Russia as Prenz. Prince/Rigadin had a remarkable face with a curling lip showing his teeth and an upturned nose, which he even mocked himself in Le Nez de Rigadin (1911).
As Rigadin, Prince often played the bourgeois who gets in trouble with authorities or with love interests, because of his timidity and clumsiness. Just like Prince’s previous stage performances, the Rigadin comedies thus mocked pre-war bourgeois drama and their main topic of amour, even if Prince himself occasionally acted in these bourgeois dramas as well. In contrast to the previous anarchic comedy at Pathé and other companies, Rigadin was inspired by vaudeville and light stage comedy, and so Prince’s character stuck to ‘white collar’ respectability and convention, while being pestered by mother-in-laws or his own mistresses. In Rigadin n’aime pas le vendredi 13 (1911) for instance, Rigadin has a dinner with his fiancée and her parents, but it is Friday the 13th and Rigadin is so superstitious that everything goes wrong. In La Garçonnière de Rigadin (1912) Rigadin lends his bachelor flat to his future father-in-law, not knowing ‘papa’ is going to use it for his secret rendez-vous. In contrast to Linder, Prince also made Rigadin do countless transformations in all kinds of professions, from domestic, cook, chestnut seller, poet, singer and explorer to the president of the French Republic and Napoleon. In Rigadin peintre cubiste (1912) Prince mocked avant-garde art by having Rigadin and his model wear angular clothes. In Rigadin aux Balkans (1912) Prince played a war cameraman who fakes scenes for the camera in France. During the First World War the number of Rigadin comedies went down from some 20 films in 1915, to 16 in 1916, 13 in 1917, and 11 in 1918. Still, all in all Prince must have acted in some 200 shorts as of 1908, mostly Rigadin comedies. Prince also experimented with the exchange between stage and screen. In the war revue show Nouvelle Revue, shown at the Paris Theatre Antoine in 1915, a notary Rigadin from the countryside is appalled about a film poster suggesting he has an affair with a girl and visits a Parisian cinema. There he speaks to the Rigadin on the screen, until the other turns around and starts to speak with him. When the notary tries to pursue him, he is suddenly within the film…
In all of these years, the number of films in which Prince wasn’t Rigadin was really small. As of 1913, Prince acted in long(er) features as well, mostly dramas. In 1913 he thus acted opposite Léon Bernard and Suzanne Demay in the SCAGL production Les Surprises du divorce, directed by Monca. Then followed Le Bon juge, Le Coup de fouet, Ferdinand le noceur, Le Fils à papa and Monsieur le directeur, all co-directed in 1913 by Monca and Prince himself. Subsequent long films co-directed by Prince were in 1914 Les Trente millions de Gladiator, Bébé, La Famille Boléro, La Femme à papa (all co-directed by Prince) and Les Fiançés héroïques (Monca 1914), in 1915 L’Auréole de la gloire and La Main dans le sac (both by Monca), in 1916 La Mariée récalcitrante (Monca, Prince). In 1919-1921 Prince played in a few feature-lenghth comedies, again all directed by Monca, such as Les Femmes collantes (1919-1920) and Madame et son filleul (1919). One last time he played in a Rigadin short, probably mocking his own dissatisfaction or that of the spectators, as the title was Prince embêté par Rigadin (1920). By the early 1920s, though, not only the popularity of Rigadin but also that of Prince had faded, and for years Prince didn’t act in film anymore. After one last silent film in 1928 (Embrassez-moi by Robert Péguy and Max de Rieux), he did have an active career in early French sound cinema between 1930 and 1933, but now in supporting roles, as in Maurice Tourneur’s Partir (1931) and Pierre Colombier’s Sa Meilleure cliente (1932), starring Elvire Popesco and René Lefèvre. Prince died at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (Val-de-Marne) on 17 July 1933. Unfortunately his tomb was destroyed.
In 1900 Prince was married to vaudeville and film actress Miss (Aimée) Campton (1882-1930), whose original name was Emily Strahan Cager. They had one daughter Renée (1901-1993). In 1914 Prince married his second wife Gabrielle (1883-1974). Campton was the cousin of Paul Derval, director of the Folies-Bergères. Prince's great-grandson is French film director Cris Ubermann.

A surreal, comical artwork of a lobster reclining on a plush pink seashell chair at the bottom of the ocean. The lobster lounges casually like a human, holding a frothy pint of beer in one claw. In the background, a sleek submarine cruises by, launching a torpedo that humorously fizzes like carbonation as if aimed at the drink. The underwater setting glows with soft, filtered light, adding depth and atmosphere to the whimsical scene. A playful mix of fantasy, satire, and photorealistic detail, 8K cinematic style.

Behold, all the mobile devices I've ever owned, from the ever so comical pink 3310 to the brick monster like e61i. Digging them all out sure did bring back some memroeis. None of them were broken or stolen, I do take care of my stuff :)
It was around the 3310 and 3100 phase where I paid very little attention to phones, I simply bought what was required and used it merely for texting and phoning folks. There were phones with cameras and mp3 players but back then I had a digital compact and an iriver so I really didn't need one that was below that quality. The pink phone was a right joke back in my days and 6th form, back then was the time I thought it was cool to go for the most rediculous thing that noone would get and claim your coolness there (not sure how that panned out tbh). The next phone (3100) was a quick choice since it was the cheapest one that had a colour screen (colour screens were cool back then) and yeah, I loved the design and the tackyness of it all. You could throw it a few times and not worry much about it breaking, the keys were rubbery and the case glew in the dark. Got to love gimmick values
Around the time I started my placement year I began demanding more, mainly because I felt like I'm doing quite a lot of things outdoors which would be utilised better if I was say, online or something. This was where the n70 popped out and I bought it second hand. I abused all the features including tethering which was pretty neat back in those days. My crazy 7 hour journeys to and from Leeds on the megabus was thus solved with constant interweb surfing and whatnot.
It was only when I started my proper job did I demand for something that not only allows me to kill time when I'm out, but find things to productively do. I purchased an e61i which sported a nice lovely QWERTY keyboard since I reckon num pads were no longer cool. I didn't look back, really enjoyed typing on the keyboard and work has thus increased even when I'm out and about.
The spot on the right is obviously my next one, and since it was only announced yesterday, no prizes for what I'll be getting for my next phone. Yup, after 7 years of Nokia loyalty I'm finally jumping the boat with an iPhone. Nothing sorted just yet mind, but the idea is that I'd buy the latest iPhone 3GS when it comes out on the 19th. I haven't signed up on a waiting list or anything yet so I'm slightly skeptical on whether I'll get one in the first place. The old phone worked really well but now I would like to make use of all those iPhone comaptible web apps that go well with what I do, stuff like flickr/gmail/muse board are all so much better in iPhone format. God bless Safari, not only that the Maps feature and other apps you can get just adds the cherry on top.
So yeah, that's a brief history of my phones I've ever owned.
But yeah, enough of me, share me your mobile phone stories :D

All of the upstairs windows got shrunken or removed by ridiculous brick infills. And the first floor got a '60s-'70s-style brick arrangement with phony shutters.
I like it because it is funny-looking. Personally I never felt like I needed for it to keep on looking the same way it did when it was new.
Do you think we should try to make off with that Lexus RX?

1992 was very much a continuation of the trends of 1991. More older Joes got new figures, even ones from as late as 1988, like Shockwave. There were other nice new versions of Gung Ho, Wild Bill, Roadblock, Cutter (pictured here, albeit on a Funskool card with comically bad artwork and an unusual specialty as an "anti-tank cannon expert"!) and Mutt. The Duke form this year is okay and has a bit of a "Desert Storm" feel to him which makes sense considering the year, an even more blatantly Desert Storm-ish version would come out the next year. The Eco Warriors line added two new versions of veteran Joes, Barbecue (you could actually see his face this time! I find myself actually liking this version of Barbecue a bit) and yet another Deep Six, who would not be so bad except for some unforgivably bad bright green and magenta highlights. He came with a dolphin, which isn't quite as goofy as it sounds (the US Navy sometimes uses trained dolphins in their operations) which had a super rare "killer whale" variant. This was the last year we would see any Joes or Cobras come with any animal buddies in the vintage line. There was also a new version of Spirit, which was ok except for his neon green shirt. Wetsuit (pictured here) also got the neon treatment, but the black and yellow contrast actually sort of works on him. This version is neat because he can actually remove his (sadly unrealistic looking) diving helmet, something no previous version could do, so we can actually see his face and his VERY 90's mullet! Ace also got an update, the 90's Ace was actually more realistic than the 80's version, which looked more like an astronaut than an airman.
Returning old Joes definitely outnumbered the newbies this year. New characters of note was another fantastic Oktober Guardsman, Big Bear (pictured here) and in another rare comic book tie-in, a character that was supposed to be the son of the Joe teams original XO, General Flagg (which is also a great figure I wish I had). Most of the new characters were limited to the new special teams for this year, the Ninja Force (led by a nice, put poorly articulated new version of Storm Shadow) and the D.E.F. (Drug Elimination Force).
The Ninja Force figures were an attempt by Hasbro to cash in on the perceived "ninja craze". I say perceived because I don't think there really was much of one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were dominating the toy aisles at this point, and they were ninjas, but I don't think this was the main thing that made them popular and Hasbro failed to understand that. Ninja Force was an attempt to steal some of that TMNT magic. Maybe it did sort of work, as the Ninja Force stuck around longer than any other special teams, for 3 years right up until the end of the vintage line. Thye even sort of took over the comic book for awhile which was called "GI Joe featuring Snake Eyes and the Ninja Force" for awhile. Ninja Force characters are usually not too popular with us collectors as many of them feature unusually bright colors (like this T'bang figure that is pictured here and was given to me - I've actually had TWO of them given to me, he is that unpopular!) for ninjas, and "action features" that limit their articulation and make them difficult to pose. Despite this, there are actually a handful of Ninja Force figures that aren't too bad, like the aforementioned Storm Shadow. Nunchuck is a pretty cool Ninja Force figure and a character that was revived in the early 2000's as a passable stand in for the deceased Quick Kick.
The D.E.F. is another controversial sub team that clumsily attempted to bring real world issues to the fantasy world of GI Joe. at the time, I was not disturbed by this. I was a bit of a "straight edge" punk at this point in my life, so I was definitely anti drugs. I knew that US special forces sometimes intervened in the "War on Drugs" by aiding South American governments, so the D.E.F. didn't seem too far fetched to me. However as an adult, I can appreciate what a useless waste of money and resources the whole "War on Drugs" is in ways I could not as a teenager. There is no denying that most of the D.E.F. figures are pretty cool though, I am especially fond of their leader, a new character named Bullet-Proof, which is a nice, solid military looking figure which I plan to add to my collection soon.The '92 version was even free of neon, as were all the '92 D.E.F. figures, even the bad guys.
All in all, I think '92 was a pretty good year, at least on the Joe side. There were still a lot of good figures and nice versions of old characters, even Ninja Force was sort of subdued compared to how crazy it would become in the next few years.

A diminutive Bavarian infantryman (Landwehr?) looks almost comical in his over sized transitional tunic and corduroy trousers. Let's hope he had time to call into a tailor before he departed for the front.

Paul Heidemann (1884-1968) was a German stage and screen actor, and also a film director and producer. In the silent period, he was famous for his comical parts.
Paul Heidemann was born in Cologne, Germany, on 26 October 1884. After an initial career in the tobacco branch, he took acting lessons at the Meiningen-based court actor Leopold Teller. In 1906 he debuted in Hanau as Prince Karl-Heinz in the operetta Alt-Heidelberg. In 1909 he joined the Theatre of Breslau, where he sang in Bruno Granichstaedten’s operetta Bub oder Mädel. Here Heidemann created his reputation as a talented comedian. On the recommendation of composer Jean Gilbert, he moved to Berlin in 1911, where he debuted in Gilbert’s play Die keusche Susanne. Franz Porten discovered Heidemann for the cinema, where in 1912 he played his first lead in Das Brandmal ihrer Vergangenheit, followed by films such as Ihr Unteroffizier (1914), Ein nettes Pflänzchen (1916) und Der Diplomatensäugling (1919). From 1913 to 1915 he played the character Teddy in countless comical shorts, such as Teddy ist herzkrank (1914), Teddys Geburtstagsgeschenk (1915) and Teddy züchtet Notkartoffeln (1915); sometimes he directed these as well. Between 1919 and 1923 Heidemann had his own production company, Paul Heidemann-Film GmbH in Berlin, where he played the lead in films initially mostly directed by Erich Schönefelder and later on rather by Georg Schubert and Heidemann himself. A late example is Eine kleine Freundin braucht ein jeder Mann (Heidemann 1927), starring Heidemann but also Julius Falkenstein, Hans Albers, Siegfried Arno and Charlotte Ander.
In the 1920s Heidemann became an important supporting actor and sometimes leading actor in all kinds of films, in particular comedies, such as Die Bergkatze (Ernst Lubitsch 1921) with Pola Negri, So sind die Männer (Georg Jacoby 1922) with Harry Liedtke, Der Sprung ins Leben (Johannes Guter 1923) with Xenia Desni, Das süsse Mädel (Manfred Noa 1926) with Mary Nolan and Mary Parker, Die Dritte Eskadron (Carl Wilhelm 1926) with Claire Rommer, Flucht aus der Hölle (Georg Asagaroff 1928) with Heidemann, Jean Murat and Agnes Esterhazy, and Flucht vor der Liebe (Hans Behrendt 1928) with Jenny Jugo and Enrico Benfer. Simultaneously Heidemann acted on the Berlin stages, mainly in operettas. When in the early 1930s military comedies were popular, Heidemann acted in various military farces such as Wenn die Soldaten... (Luise & Jakob Fleck 1931) with Otto Walburg, Schön ist die Manöverzeit (Erich Schönfelder 1931) with Ida Wüst, Die Mutter der Kompanie (Franz Seitz senior 1931), Drei von der Kavallerie (Carl Boese 1932) with Paul Hörbiger and Fritz Kampers, and Liebe in Uniform (Georg Jacoby 1932). Heidemann also acted in many successful films of the 1930s, often as the sidekick of the favourite actor Hans Albers. Among the most well-known productions are Die grosse Sehnsucht (Stefan Szekelty 1930) with Camilla Horn and Theodor Loos, Ihre Hoheit befielt (Hanns Schwarz 1930-1931), Der tolle Bomberg (Georg Asagaroff 1932) with Heidemann in the lead, Ganovenehre (Richard Oswald 1932) with Fritz Kampers, Paprika (Carl Boese 1932) with Franziska Gaal, Narren im Schnee (Hans Deppe 1938) with Anny Ondra, and Schneider Wibbel (Viktor de Kowa 1939) with Erich Ponto.
During the Second World War, Heidemann worked again as a film director and staged some film comedies, such as Mein Mann darf es nicht wissen (1940) with Mady Rahl, Krach im Vorderhaus (1941) again with Rahl, Weisse Wäsche (1942) with Harald Paulsen, and Floh im Ohr (1943), even if the films were not huge hits. In the 1950s he acted both in BDR and DDR films, playing Presskopp in the old Berlin farce Ein Polterabend (Curt Bois 1955) and the mayor in Bärenburger Schnurre (Ralf Kirsten 1957). He also acted then in films like Torreani (Gustav Fröhlich 1951), Der keusche Josef (Carl Boese 1953), Rittmeister Wronski (Ulrich Erfurth 1954), Der Mustergatte (Erik Ode 1956) and Jede Nacht in einem anderen Bett (Paul Verhoeven 1956-1957). Paul Heidemann died in Berlin on 20 June 1968.

Vintage Spanish minicard. Polidor (Pasquali & Cie).
Ferdinand Guillaume (1887- 1977) was an Italian comical actor, famous in the 1910s as Tontolini and Polidor.
Ferdinand(o) Guillaume, the son of a well-bred European circus family once fled from France during the Revolution, was enrolled by the Cines company in 1910 together with his brother Natale and their wives. Guillaume was launched as the character Tontolini, in 1912 also known in Britain and the US as Jenkins. Guillaume provided Cines and Italy an international reputation in the field of comical films. His circus background was a clear consistency in his films. Actress Lea Giunchi was married to Natale (Natalino) Guillaume and often played as 'Lea' in the Tontolini comedies, before becoming the regular film partner of Kri-Kri (Raymond Frau), who more or less substituted Guillaume when the latter moved over to Pasquali.
After some 100 shorts as Tontolini, and after the success of his first feature-length film, Pinocchio (Giulio Antamoro, 1911), Ferdinand Guillaume went over to the Pasquali company. Here he created the character of Polidor (named after a horse in his previous circus shows), continuing his double profession of leading actor and director, being often the scriptwriter of his films too. Shooting some 100 films, up to four films a month, in the years 1912-1914, the Polidor films were distributed all over Europe and the US. Guillaume's output shrunk considerately from the outbreak of the First World War, although he still had a large output in 1916-1917. Guillaume managed to pursue a constant career in cinema until 1920, when his brother died in a plane crash during the shooting of a film. Guillaume had occasional come-backs in sound cinema, as in Fellini’s films Le notti di Cabiria (1957) and La dolce vita (1960), and in Pasolini's Accatone (1961). His last film part was that of an old actor in Fellini's Toby Dammitt (1968).

...a comical parody of the "Banda Calypso", a popular north-eastern Brazilian band represented here by our Cultural Coordinator Ivone in the swinging role of lead singer Joelma and with music teacher Anderson as her partner Chimbinha, backed by their dance ensemble of youngsters from the Hummingbird Arts & Cultural Activity Centre. This was just one of many comical presentations held by our staff during the children's winter holiday festival talent show at our main prevention centre in São Paulo.........

My favorite floor is the second floor, on account of the comical windowlessness of its expansive grid of rectangles, and the comically uneven application of its dark red paint.
My second favorite floor is the third floor, on account of its lozenge-shaped design of dark brown brickwork, set within a field of dark brown bricks.

What in the world is the comical pic about? Inspiration from lolcats: lolcat.com/pics/takethis.jpg After seeing that picture, I was randomly inspired to do this. Honestly, this should be on a billboard. LoL! Now contraceptives, safe sex, and being smart about what you do are very important things. That all should be take seriously. This picture is more of a parody, a joke, for humor and the love of it... showing the funnier side to human nature. It's ok to laugh, we're all thinking the same thing.
