[LEN-E] Leni's Silk Stockings

[Ron Koster]

Hi Jose, Thomas, and everyone!

Thanks for... well, confirmation! I'm glad it's not just me that 
thinks it's Leni in that pic. ;)  And, indeed, it was a great find -- 
but I have the seller to thank for that, of course, because he's the 
one who apparently recognized Leni in that photo. That's surprising, 
actually -- I mean, I can understand that most of us, here, would 
recognize that it was her, but for the "average" person it would 
probably just look like one more photo of an anonymous woman, amongst 
dozens and dozens of other photos (and artwork) of other anonymous 
women in that book.

Apart from that, it is nice to have yet another early photo of Leni 
(especially one that's quite unlike anything else I've ever seen, 
anywhere else, before), although this particular one is quite the 
mystery! With the book having been published in 1929 (when Leni was 
well-established and well-known as a "movie star"), it's very strange 
for such an early pic of her to show up there, especially without any 
caption or anything indicating that it's her.

Well, I can only suppose we'll never know -- very curious indeed, though!

Ron :)
