Prohibition racketeer Jack "Legs" Diamond, a cigarette dangling from his lips, struts down a New York street on Thursday, April 23, 1931. Diamond would be "rubbed out" in December of the year. (Corbis)

Here is an excellent site for World War I photos. Including some rare color ones and some very graphic ones.

Here is a still from a lost silent film: "Babbitt" from 1924. Based on Sinclair Lewis' satirical novel of the same name, Willard Lewis, right, appeared as Geprge F. Babbitt while Carmel Meyers was Tanis Judique. (Corbis)

Here is yet another lost silent film based on a famous novel: The original 1926 version of "The Great Gatsby".
This version of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic featured Lois Wilson as Daisy Buchanan and Warner Baxter,
famed for "42nd Street", as Jay Gatsby. A point of local pride: Lois Wilson was a Birmingham girl. Wink
