On Broadway
Cass—Ellen Naomi Cohen—was a middle-class Jewish girl from Baltimore who left high school six months before graduation to go to New York and try Broadway. She lost the role of Mrs. Marmelstein in I Can Get It For You Wholesale to a budding young Jewish singer-actress who did her share to establish the rule that you didn’t have to be classically beautiful to be a star: Barbra Streisand. Cass then got a job as a coat check girl at a Manhattan nightclub, the Bitter End, singing and trying to get random agents’ attention, as she juggled hangers and quarters as tips. She met folk singer Denny Doherty at the club and “drank him under the table,” Owen says.
Cass developed an unrequited crush on Doherty, followed him down to the Virgin Islands, and talked her way into the just-forming group. “John [Phillips] had a definite idea of what he wanted—a group like the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. My mom didn’t fit that [sleek] female look,” Owen says. But her talent and perseverance won out. John later changed the group’s name from the New Journeymen to (with Cass’s help) the hipper and wittier The Mamas and The Papas, cementing its charisma.

>>57797 Intrasting that yer 1911 cap has a black guy…in a suit…with a briefcase/samplecase but supposedly there was no way for a black guy to succeed in 1911.
Went in search of other successful black business people in the early 1900's and came across (cap related) St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank. Wut's this? Black Bank, w/Women pictured? But muh racism. Muh Gender discrimination.
Turns out it was the first bank in America chartered by a black woman. In 1903 by Maggie L. Walker, a former schoolteacher. Who had also founded a newspaper. In Richmond freakin' Virginia. On top of that, found out that there was a "Black Wall Street" in Richmond since there was a concentration of black wealth there.
From the Enterprise link: This history is particularly salient in Jackson Ward, which has been referred to as "Black Wall Street." Black-owned banking institutions in this community provided loans to African American business owners and prospective homebuyers when they were turned away from other banks. Preserving the convent will help to preserve the unique story of Jackson Ward and the network of institutions that underpinned its thriving black community.
From the Remember the Titans link: Not only adults, Maggie also appealed to children of account holders, distributing piggy banks to encourage them to start saving. Once the collection reached 100 cents, she allowed the children to open their own bank account. Through this gimmick, Maggie not only helped the children to understand the virtues of thrift, she also gained valuable future customers.
By 1924, the bank had spread far and wide across Virginia, and established strongholds in nearly every town. It had a strong customer base of 50,000 and over 50 full-time employees.
Under Maggie’s leadership, it became one of the very few banks to survive the Great Depression (one-third of the banks vanished during this period) without any losses; indeed, the bank showed growth instead through the same period.
Looked for "Black Wall Street" and three popped up; one in Oklahoma, one in Virginia and one in North Carolina.

>>57852 (me) Fun digg so no matter, but the original cap can't be the original photo. Color photography wasn't "ushered in" until 1935.
Color Positive, Color Negative Films
Enter Kodachrome film. In 1935, while working at the Kodak Research Laboratories, Leopold Godowsky Jr. and Leopold Mannes ushered in the modern era of color photography by inventing Kodachrome, a color positive (or "slide") film produced with a subtractive color photography process. The dye couplers were added during processing, requiring that the film be processed by specially equipped labs, but the absence of dye couplers in the emulsion meant that the film captured fine details. Kodachrome became well known for its rich warm tones and sharpness, making it a popular and preferred film for over 70 years, despite its need for complicated processing.
In 1936, only one year after the invention of Kodachrome, the Agfa Company in Germany created the Agfacolor negative-positive process. However, World War II prevented release of the process until 1949. In the meantime, in 1942, Kodak released their negative-positive color film, Kodacolor. Within twenty years, after improvements in quality, speed, and price, Kodacolor became the most popular film among amateur photographers.
