Famous Deaths Of The 1920s (Part 2)

[@james_baker]

that last story got me. I didn't know of Martha Mansfield. what a tragic ending of a young life. 😿

[@hakeemfullerton8645]

A few important names who died in the 20s that could be brought up in a future video: Robert La Follette Sr. William Jennings Bryan Nellie Bly Eugene V. Debs Robert Todd Lincoln Franz Kafka John Burroughs

[@jarredsmith7375]

Someone you could cover in a future video is Isadora Duncan, her death was quite shocking to say the least.

[@absolutelydisgusted3319]

For those interested in the William Desmond Taylor case, the book, “ A Cast of Killers,” by Sydney D. Kirkpatrick is excellent. Goes into all kinds of scandals and tales from those days. A great book.

[@joyceadams5765]

It is.

You did a great job on this video!

[@alandesouzacruz5124]

The last story is Very sad and tragic 😢

[@pauletteforman]

Great research as usual ❤, especially President Harding. He had a lot of enemies, even his wife Florence who was furious about his indiscretions and outside child. There were always rumors that she poisoned him 🤫.

You ought to cover the Leopold & Leob murder case in Chicago in 1924. That must have been incredibly high profile given the perpetrators, victim and their positions in Chicago society at the time!

[@janegarner6739]

@tchrisou812. "Successor" can be pronounced either way, but the pronunciation in this video is proper. I suspect u might consider "success-er" proper, but it's only the popular Am. pronunciation, no more proper than "success-or." And "valet" can be properly pronounced as rhyming with "ballet" (dropping the "t") or as "vallet", although I think the latter became more popular in the 20th c. & as usual, such popularity often leads to a change re: what is considered proper. Not sure, but I suspect that Hollywood as well as British movies had a major influence on pronunciation, & it was typical of the approved British pronunciation that terms derived from Latin & from French be pronounced as typical English words---that is, terms stemming from Latin that contain an "i" are pronounced with a long "i" (like "eye), rather than following basic Latin pronunciation of this "i" as a long "e" (like "ee"). And many terms taken from the French are anglicized. However, this may be more true of such pronunciation as the upper class "Queen's/King's English" than of other English accents. English pronunciation has long been very complicated & especially complicated among the British descendants of the U.S., with the public school systems of the U.S. often teaching the English system of spelling through much of the 20th c.----for example, "grey" rather than "gray," as well as "colour" rather than "color." These proper English spellings & pronunciations were typical of Am. elementary schools of the earlier 20th c. into the '50s, this period also including the practice of memorization for learning entire passages from English literature (Shakespeare, Coleridge, & others ). Sorry to diverge in other directions but I think these subjects are all related to one another. Also, being a product of the Am. public school tradition in which these practices were common, it's hard to shake loose. (When you've been verbally humiliated by a 5th grade teacher for spelling "grey" (the color) as "gray", it's hard to forget. I had used the Am. spelling of "gray" because I'd seen it more often in books, but the teacher had been taught to use English spellings rather than American. All of this bit the dust in the later 20th c., of course. To bring up these examples of earlier accepted ways of pronouncing & of spelling would now be seen as ludicrously strict, if not outright bananas, but it's nice to know entire passages from English literature that you can recite if you're stuck in a bad situation & need to distract yourself pleasantly.) You're probably a product of similar education yourself or you wouldn't be writing comments to correct the English pronunciation used in a video. And if the typical online English usage is any example of how thoroughly most students are now taught to write, English is doomed. (If I see another noun capitalized for no reason, or phrases used as complete sentence---the typical use of the language seen on You Tube by those who write blurb for various channels & by those who post comments---my god, little or no sense can be made of these merely because the authors have no idea how to use language to communicate even the simplest ideas, & here we are arguing about simple usage of common terms!

@@janegarner6739 I learned so much by reading your post and am thankful you took the time to share your experiences and observations. I am American of British descent and was educated here. I could listen to you speak about this all day. I agree that English is being butchered by modern people but I also appreciate the fluidity of it at the same time. A pet peeve of mine is everyone saying "literally" about things that aren't, another is when I have only read about someone or something and I don't pronounce it correctly verbally. I have a friend who is now a Psychiatrist and highly intelligent besides who is a firm believer in the Freudian theories. I first learned as much as I could about this and found out that one of his "students" was Carl Jung and then read all I could find about him. All of this started because we tend to enjoy "sparring" about psychological and philosophical things. All of that to say I once was winning an argument and said Jung's name wrong and I look over at him and he had the biggest smile and asked "who's that?" I just smiled back and we went back to birdwatching. We still get together and don't speak sometimes, I like the guy. I enjoy hearing your thoughts you're very engaging in my opinion.

I read the book on the investigation of that Director's murder conducted by another director King Vidor. He did it both as a hobby and as a research project for a possible screen play. His conclusion (apart from the fact the LA police of that time were equal parts incompetent and compromised) was that the stage mother from hell of Mary Miles Minter was the killer. It was not either actress mentioned.

[@BINHNGUYENUSAblogs-lb9zf]

[@kidmohair8151]

you've done a "deep dive" into the Fatty Arbuckle story. Desmond Taylor's story is definitely on a par with that case, so go for it, I say.

It was Charlotte Shelby. There is a lot of information on this available on the internet. It was the mother of MMM.

Why was Harding's affair with Nan Britton not mentioned?

[@The-Portland-Daily-Blink]

Read the books I've read, and it will enlighten you. Start with "A Cast of Killers" by Kirkpatrick, and then "Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood." Until you read both of these books, you won't know anything about what happened to William Desmond Taylor, AKA "William Cunningham Deane-Tanner" which qas his real name.

[@michelefritchie6198]

I once saw a documentary on this case; the conclusion was Miss Minter's mother, disguised as a man, did it.

Taylor did NOT have memory loss. He was GAY, and he left his wife and child because he didn't want to be with her anymore. That is really how simple it was... I've read three BIOS on this murder and it was documented that he was gay. Taylor was also a VERY sharp and intelligent man. There was NO previous talk of him having "memory lapses" at all. You might want to do better research, because your analysis on the Desmond Taylor murders was not very good. You also realize that William Desmond Taylor was not his real name either. Tanner. His real last name was TANNER. Honestly, do better research.
