By now, everyone knows that a lot of taxpayers are getting the worst news ever at filing time. They owe the U.S. Treasury money. We can debate the reasons for the unexpected tax bills ad infinitum. Withholding tables were rejiggered in 2018 following the changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Itemized deductions and exemptions were reduced or eliminated by that tax legislation. Taxpayers didn't adjust their withholding to get their paycheck amounts more in line with the new law. The bottom line is that more than the usual number of filers this year are going to have...

If ever an artist's work so consummately defined a particular era, it was that of the Roaring Twenties illustrator John Held, Jr. (January 10, 1889 – March 2, 1958), whose creations both set the standard for-and gently ribbed-a generation. More than any other artist of his time, Held expressed in his pictures the bold spirit of the Jazz Age. It was a time of bustling commerce, booming enterprises, and engaging recreation. Society's elite were dining at Sardi's, the adventurous were doing the Charleston and the Shimmy in dance marathons, and the flapper was in full vogue, out and about in pursuit of a good time. Chronicling it all, for magazine readers coast-to-coast, was John Held, Jr. [1] One of the best known magazine illustrators of the 1920s, Held created cheerful art showing his characters dancing, motoring and engaging in fun-filled activities. The drawings, especially his archetypical flapper illustrations, defined the flapper era so well that many people are familiar with Held's work today. [2] While his drawings were published in such publications as Life and Judge, it was his work for the fledgling magazine "The New Yorker" that established Held in the eyes of the nation. His depictions of Betty Coed, the prototypical "flapper" (along with her gentleman friend, Joe College), became the quintessential definition of the decade's "flaming youth." [1] Readers of "Harper's Bazaar," "Redbook," and "Vanity Fair" would be hard-pressed to avoid Held's ubiquitous depictions of the Jazz Age's high-living college crowd. The characters' contemporaries got a real kick out of Held's creations, and parents of the younger generation turned to these illustrations for a clearer understanding of their children.

June Marlowe is memorable to me for one big reason, she got OWNED by Lilyan Tashman when Lilyan caught June with her husband Edmund Lowe. This is what I had heard and read at least... Read on and find out the real story! June Marlowe was born Gisela Valaria Goetten on November 6, 1903 in St. Cloud, Minnesota. She was the eldest child of John, a meat market and later flower market owner, and Hedwig (Hattie) Goetten. She had three younger brothers, Louis John, Armor, and Gerald. She also had a younger sister named Alona. I unfortunately know very little about her earlier life. I do know that she graduated from Minneapolis High School and was fond of telling everyone that she was going to be a star! Technically her first film role was in 1923's Fighting Blood, but she was uncredited. Her first credited role was a year later in When a Man's a Man with John Bowers and Marguerite De La Motte. June may be the most well known these days for her role as Miss Crabtree in six Our Gang comedies. How she got the role is a pretty interesting story. She was shopping in a department store one day when the director of the series, Robert McGowan came up to her thinking he had made a wonderful discovery in this beautiful young lady and he offered her the role of the teacher in his popular series. Little did he know that she had in fact been acting in the film industry for years. The one little change that was made was that the natural brunette wore a blonde wig at the suggestion of Hal Roach, head of the studio. In 1925, June was named a WAMPAS Baby Star. Among the other starlets nominated that year were Olive Borden and Dorothy Revier. Now, June wasn't a huge star, but she did get to appear on screen with big names like Myrna Loy, John Barrymore, Laurel and Hardy, Harry Langdon, Mary Astor, and Rin Tin Tin (hey, he was a big star!) Her final film appearance was in 1935's Roaring Roads, playing herself. She wanted to retire from the film industry and concentrate on her new husband and becoming a housewife. June Marlowe passed away on March 10, 1984 in Burbank, California. She had been suffering from Parkinson's disease. June was originally buried at the San Fernando Mission Cemetery with her brother Louis, but in 2002 they were both moved to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles where the rest of their family was buried. I think it is really sweet that all the family is at rest together in one place. June was only married once, to a businessman named Rodney Spring in 1933. The two remained married until he passed away in 1983. They did not have any children. It seems like the Goetten family were very close and they all had an itch to head to Hollywood because all of them were involved someway in the film industry. Louis John worked as an Assistant Director, Armor worked as a Set Decorator, and Alona worked briefly as an actress. Apparently Gerald Goetten was involved somehow in the industry as well, but I can't find out how or what he did. Besides acting on screen, June also worked as a radio announcer and did dramatic readings for various programs. Some of her close friends included Dorothy Gulliver and her Our Gang costar, Jackie Cooper. So, what is the real story behind the Tashman/Marlowe beat down? Who was on the receiving end of Lilyan Tashman's fists and claws? Well, according to a 1933 article in Picture Play magazine it was June's younger sister Alona that had the wrath of Lilyan put upon her. Alona told the police that Lilyan had scratched, beat, and kicked her in Edmund Lowe's dressing room, but she doesn't seem to include why she was in there to begin with. Hmmmm...The case was eventually settled out of court with Lilyan having to pay Alona a 'nominal' amount, according to Lilyan's lawyer. "The sweet, sympathetic characterization given the part by Miss Marlowe is natural, wholesome and free from any affectation. It is a part admirably fitted to her talent, and she plays it with an ease and refinement that are a revelation." ~~ Universal Weekly, 1926 [talking about her work in the film The Old Soak]
