Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Funky Wallpaper and other Funky Backdropz, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

It is so weird to see sports photo against a hotel room wall.

Charles 'The Little Apache" Ledoux (but he was French. Those were weird times) www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=17961&cat=boxer won 99 (KO 81) + lost 29 (KO 3) + drawn 6

undeadsinatra: Thanks! We'll add the information to the source data and reload the description

Not a hotel room -- this was a gym where boxers trained. A November 24, 1913, photo of boxer Charles Morris shows another chamber in this suite, with the identical wallpaper: @undeadsinatra: In the 19th century, a cult of the Apache was active in the French underworld, especially in Paris. They took their name from the Apache Indians of North America, and were famous for their costumes, wearing flashy shirts with horizontal stripes. Here is an explanation on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_(gang) Ledoux probably got his nickname because he was French (and a fierce fighter).

Well, if this site is accurate: home.att.net/~jbaugher/thirdseries1.html it suggests the tail section on which they are working is from a Grumman TBF-1 Avenger.

The aircraft is a Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon.

At first I was unconvinced as I couldn't find any images of an SNC-1 showing that round access hatch, but I did finally find one at: www.wisbechaeroclub.co.uk/Scale Drawings/images/C/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon/Curtiss SNC-1 Falcon (1).jpg although now I'm left confused about the tail number :)

The Marriage of Columbine Punch and Judy Theatre Opening:Nov 10, 1914 Closing: Dec 1914 Total Performances: 31 www.ibdb.com/production.php?id=8090

CUTEST OF ALL PLAYHOUSES TO OPEN TUESDAY NIGHT; Everything in Readiness for the First Performance of "The Marriage of Columbine" at the Punch and Judy Theatre. WITH six new shows opening in as many of the larger theatres last week it is strange that the coming week is to be given over entirely to the opening of the smallest theatre in the city, but on Tuesday night the new Punch and Judy Theatre, on Forty-ninth Street, near Broadway, will throw open its doors, when "The Marriage of Columbine," a new comedy in four acts, by Harold Chapin, will be the attraction. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60C16FE3B5916738... Mr. Charles Hopkins is the owner of the Punch & Judy, and Mrs. Hopkins does not appear to have a first name...

She's beautiful, with or without a name!! :)

Her maiden name was Violet Vivian. She was from England, retired from the stage in 1919 and died in 1960. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30713FB3D541A7A... According to her obituary she was best know for playing Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet", Jim Hawkins in her husband's production of "Treasure Island" and Peter Pan in Barrie's Peter Pan.

Great portrait ...'love the tones.
