“Do you know the best way to make a dream come true? Do you? It's to wake up.”
~Vincent (Benicio Del Toro, from the movie “Excess Baggage”, 1997)

Josephine Dunn (1906-1983) was an American film actress of the 1920s and 1930s.
Mary Josephine Dunn was born in New York City, in 1906. She grew up in her native New York and attended Holy Cross Convent, a Catholic girls' school there. At the age of 14, she became a chorus girl at the Winter Garden Theatre in 'Good Morning, Dearie'. After her first successes, Dunn dropped out of school and from then on devoted herself exclusively to the theatre. She was briefly in the Ziegfeld Follies and, in 1924, had a walk-on in 'Dear Sir' on Broadway. Two years later, she was picked by a talent scout to join the Paramount acting school for hopeful young debutantes. She began her Hollywood career with a small role alongside Thelma Todd in Fascinating Youth (Sam Wood, 1926). She graduated from the Paramount Pictures School, which was set up by Paramount Pictures for their young actors without a high school diploma. A ravishing blue-eyed blonde, she made an impression in D.W. Griffith's The Sorrows of Satan (1926). In 1927 Dunn got her first leading role opposite Evelyn Brent in Love's Greatest Mistake (A. Edward Sutherland, 1927). In 1927, she played the female lead alongside Al Jolson in the Warner Brothers-produced The Singing Fool (1927), a sequel to the hugely successful The Jazz Singer of the same year, but which failed to match the success of its predecessor. After another leading role opposite Wallace Beery in Fireman, Save My Child (A. Edward Sutherland, 1927), she took a nine-month break. Then she joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and acted in Our Modern Maidens (Jack Conway, 1929) with Joan Crawford and Anita Page. She married Clyde Greathouse during the mid-1920s, divorcing him shortly thereafter. In 1925 she married William P. Cameron, whom she also divorced in 1928. She would star in a total of twenty-three silent films, and in 1929 she was one of thirteen WAMPAS Baby Stars, which that year also included actress Jean Arthur.
In 1930 Josephine Dunn made a successful transition, unlike many silent stars, to sound films. She starred in Safety in Numbers (Victor Schertzinger, 1930) alongside Charles 'Buddy' Rogers and Kathryn Crawford. She had good reviews in the Ernst Lubitsch-directed operetta One Hour with You (1932) as Mademoiselle Martel. She starred in sixteen films through 1932, and at the peak of her career in 1933 she played vamps and mercenary wives. That same year, she married Eugene J. Lewis, whom she divorced in 1935 to marry Carroll Case, whose father Frank Case owned the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, which housed the now-famous Algonquin Round Table. In the 1920s, Dunn had already become associated with the Algonquin Round Table, a meeting place for a group of actors, critics, wits, and writers, between 1919 and 1929. Dunn retired from acting in 1938 and remained with Case for the remainder of his life. She made sporadic appearances in summer stock during the 1940s. Her husband died in 1978 and Josephine Dunn died 6 years later in 1983, in Thousand Oaks, California, aged 76. The actress was buried alongside her husband in a columbarium at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery.

A 1928 Mission Revival style theatre (once the only great movie palace in Ventura County) it is now used as a concert venue (for which the main floor seats have been removed).
It had, originally, been a Fox Theatre (designed by Lewis A. Smith) and supported vaudeville acts as well as motion pictures.
The lobby is decorated with ornate fixtures. And a spectacular chandelier (surrounded by a silver sunburst) hangs under the 40 ft (12.2 m) high auditorium dome.
It opened in August 1928 and its first film was the William Haines comedy "Excess Baggage" (released September 8, 1928, MGM). This film had a MovieTone (music and sound effects only) soundtrack. It was reputed to have been quite a soundtrack in that it featured New York City's 125-piece Capitol Theatre Orchestra! Currently it is considered to be a lost film.

When I first saw this Syrphus species flying around, I wondered what on earth it was! Looked ever so long and a strange coloured abdo. When she finally landed, I saw that part of her pupal case was still attached to the end of her abdomen!
There are a few hairs visible on the eyes, but not sure how hairy these need to be to determine the species. So this *could* be S. torvus... but not sure!
Thanks to Nigel Jones for ID confirmation - Syrphus torvus.

November MSH entry - "Excess Baggage"
Something flying past me caught my eye! It (crash) landed on the stem, so I had a closer look! It was flying awkwardly as the pupal case was still attached to his foot! Must have just emerged!

Dance out from sleeping on one leg to kicking with both feet,
the grass was homemade, freshly arms a kimbo street to street,
Whirling woodwind and resonant birds
Crested Skylarks range of pitch is strange
it doesn't change the picture
an unshelled duck born from an egg in the mountains
skips along these lanes alone.
Summertime blue from an indifferent Sun
Will dance trails and troils as tremadhevas begun,
ordinary life in extraordinary endings
she shook the tree, she looked offended
Song birds, broken blossom upended
in an offset portrait her silhouette healed itself
And danced together Janus apart
Two halves of a heart
The acquisition of Everything evil
couldn't buy love with shallow reason.
