Born 150 Years Ago: Wilfred Lucas
Actor/writer/director Wilfred Lucas (1871-1940) was born 150 years ago this day. Lucas was a major figure at Biograph with D.W. Griffith and at Mack Sennett’s Keystone, and played well-remembered roles in comedy classics of the ’30s, among numerous other distinctions. Like Sennett, Marie Dressler, and Mary Pickford, Lucas was one of several important Canadian players in the early American film…

I’m wondering if you have any examples of Irish clothing from the early 1600s (around 1610-1615)? I haven’t been able to find much from this era so I’d appreciate any sources or museum collections that you could recommend.
Starting this out with the caveat that if you're looking for the same level of detail and precision that we have for English dress history in this period, you are going to be disappointed. The types of English primary sources we have for this period (well-dated detailed paintings, well-preserved rich-people clothing, wills, printed books, etc) just don't exist for Ireland. There also seems to be much less research interest in 16th-17th c. Irish dress history, so there isn't nearly as much for secondary sources (books, articles etc.).
You don't mention if you are interested in a specific region in Ireland. Ireland in the early 17th c. was a pretty heterogeneous place. People in Dublin and Waterford wore English-influenced styles. According to British-appointed solicitor-general Sir John Davies, by 1606 a few of the wealthier people in Connacht had started wearing English dress, but many others were still wearing Irish clothing. Ulster was a mix of Irish who were wearing Irish dress and incoming English and lowland Scots settlers.
All of the extant Irish clothing I know of from the early 17th c. comes from either bogs or archaeological excavations. It looks like you've already seen my post on extant garments at the NMI. The NMI also has a couple of felt hats that might be early 17th c. This one is from Knockfola, Co. Donegal. It originally had a decorative cord or band where the pale line is:
Tumblr media
There are also another cóta mór and brat, found on a bog body from Leigh, Co. Tipperary, which I don't think the NMI has on display. I did not bother to include them in my post, because they are so similar to the ones from Killery, Co. Sligo, but the fact that these have been found in multiple places suggests that they were common, widely-used garments.
The other major garment-find from this period is the Dungiven outfit which is in the Ulster Museum. a short video The bright blue thread was added by a modern conservator; it's not original. (Side note: The identification of this outfit has gotten unfortunately politicized. Tartan trews were worn by both the Irish and the Scots during the 17th century (McClintock 1943, Dunlevy 1989). The presence of tartan should not be used to draw conclusions about the ethnicity of the wearer.) The primary publication for this outfit:
Henshall, Audrey, Seaby, Wilfred A., Lucas, A. T., Smith, A. G., and Connor, A. (1961). The Dungiven Costume. Ulster Journal of Archaeology, 24/25, 119-142. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20627382
The one other reasonably-well preserved outfit that has published on is from a child burial from Emlagh, Co. Kerry, now at University College Cork. Shee and O'Kelly give it a late 17th c date, but they largely base this date on the presence of a rather generic-looking comb. IMO the outfit could easily be early 17th c.
Tumblr media
The Emlagh gown, photographed on a living 8-year-old child who was wearing a sweater and skirt underneath. (The 1960s was a different time.)
The bodice has a wrap-front closure with a back and button-up sleeves similar in cut to the Killery cóta mór. The skirt is a pleated rectangle with the pleats sewn in vertically, somewhat like the Shinrone gown. Publication:
Shee, E. and O'Kelly, M. (1966). A Clothed Burial from Emlagh, near Dingle. Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society, 71(213), 81-91.
There are also, frustratingly, a bunch of fragmentary clothing finds at the NMI which might be 17th c, but no one seems to care enough to do publications on them, and NMI Archaeology still does not have their collection on-line, so they are useless to us.
The typical Irish shoe for this period is known as a brogue (also called a Lucas type 5 by archaeologists). broguesandshoes.com has photos, a pattern, and construction information.
Unfortunately, the illustrations from Speed's map are the only images I know of from this specific period.
If you want details on what materials were used, I recommend Susan Flavin's dissertation. It's about the 16th c. economy, but things didn't change that much between 1599 and 1601. free download here
If you don't mind wading through early modern English and a bit of period-typical prejudice, I recommend reading A Discourse of Ireland, by Luke Gernon written in 1620. His description of Irish clothing starts halfway down p. 356.
Finally, if you can find them, Dress in Ireland by Mairead Dunlevy (1st ed. 1989) and Old Irish and Highland Dress by H. F. McClintock (1st ed. 1943, 2nd ed. 1950) are the best books I know of for this period.

A Submarine Pirate (1915) / Willful Ambrose (1915) / Bombs! (1916) / The Feathered Nest (1916) / Her Torpedoed Love (1917) / Hearts and Flowers (1919) / Down on the Farm (1920)
From her Keystone debut in 1915 to her last First National comedy in 1922, Fazenda was one of Sennett's top comedy stars—appearing in nearly 60 Sennett shorts and features during that time.
Fazenda became familiar audiences as the hayseed girl who was forever falling prey to the shifty city slicker or evil mortgage holder, with her spit curl, ribbon-tied pigtails and calico dress. Just as often, she was the hard-working blue-collar girl who would leave her dreary job as a waitress or maid to collect a healthy inheritance—pursued by the usual assortment of Sennett fortune hunters. With hazel eyes and light brown hair, Fazenda could just as easily put on a blonde wig and play attractive, vampish roles.
Born in Lafayette, Indiana, the daughter of a Mexican-born grocer and American-born mother, Fazenda's family moved to LA by 1900—where she attended Los Angeles High School and St. Mary's Convent. She debuted in dramatic stock with Miss Del Valle in LA and later appeared with Virginia Brissac. Louise got her start in films at Universal in 1912 under the direction of Wilfred Lucas, but by 1913 was appearing alongside Max Asher, Harry McCoy, Bobby Vernon, Gale Henry, Lee Morris, Billy Franey, Heinie Conklin and the other featured players in Universal's Joker Comedies.
When her Sennett contract ended in Sep 1920, Fazenda joined Special Pictures Corp. briefly in late 1920; then she appeared in a trio of California Producers Corp.'s Punch Comedies (1921) co-starring Chester Conklin and John Henry Jr. That came before a brief return to Sennett for a couple of appearances during 1921-22. Fazenda starred in some of Jack White's Mermaid Comedies (1923-24) before settling into roles in features. With the coming of sound, Louise returned to shorts for Christie (1929) and Darmour (1930). She continued with feature support in films. Fazenda found a second home at Warner Brothers, becoming a familiar character face in musicals.
On March 7, 1919, Fazenda married Sennett director Noel M. Smith, to whom she'd been engaged since 1917; they separated on August 14, 1923, and divorced on August 1, 1926. On November 24, 1927 she married Warner Bros. publicity director Hal B. Wallis, soon to became Warners' studio manager and then a long-time film producer. Fazenda retired from the screen in 1939, and remained married to Wallis until her death at 66 in Beverly Hills of a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving Wallis and son Brent. She is interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, California.

Marlene Dietrich and Jane Wyman in Stage Fright (Alfred Hitchcock, 1950) Cast: Jane Wyman, Marlene Dietrich, Michael Wilding, Richard Todd, Alastair Sim, Sybil Thorndike, Kay Walsh, Miles Malleson, Hector MacGregor, Joyce Grenfell, André Morell, Patricia Hitchcock, Ballard Berkeley. Screenplay: Whitfield Cook, Alma Reville, based on a novel by Selwyn Jepson. Cinematography: Wilkie Cooper. Art direction: Terence Verity. Film editing: Edward B. Jarvis. Music: Leighton Lucas. The first stage of Marlene Dietrich's Hollywood career, when she was under the tutelage of Josef von Sternberg, ended with her being labeled "poison at the box office" by a disgruntled exhibitor in 1938, a label that helped push many of her contemporaries -- Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Luise Rainer -- into early retirement. Dietrich was made of sterner stuff, and after a celebrated turn entertaining American troops during World War II, she carved out a second film career by taking on character roles in films by major directors like Billy Wilder in A Foreign Affair (1948) and Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Fritz Lang in Rancho Notorious (1952), Orson Welles in Touch of Evil (1958), and Alfred Hitchcock in Stage Fright. Of these, the Hitchcock film is surprisingly the least memorable. It may be that Dietrich, who had learned everything she could about lighting and camera angles from Sternberg and cinematographers like Lee Garmes, was too much the diva for Hitchcock, who liked to be in control on his sets. But the fact remains that she is probably the most interesting thing about Stage Fright, a somewhat overcomplicated and sometimes scattered mystery in which we pretty much know whodunit from the beginning. Her appearances often come as a welcome relief from the rather tepid romantic triangle involving the characters played by Jane Wyman, Richard Todd, and Michael Wilding. Dietrich sings -- if that's the right word for what she does, being more diseuse than singer -- a few songs, including "La Vie en Rose" and Cole Porter's "The Laziest Gal in Town," and wears some Christian Dior gowns as Charlotte Inwood, the star of a musical revue in London, who bumps off her husband with the help of her lover, Jonathan Cooper (Todd), who is also the lover of a young student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Eve Gill (Wyman). But Eve also gets caught up in the murder plot when she falls for the detective investigating the case, Wilfred Smith (Wilding). Also providing relief from the romantic plot are Alastair Sim and Sybil Thorndike as Eve's separated and slightly eccentric parents, and some funny cameos by Miles Malleson and Joyce Grenfell. There are some clever Hitchcockian moments, including a flashback that turns out to be a complete misdirection and some skillful tracking shots by cinematographer Wilkie Cooper. But Wyman, the only American-born member of  the cast, feels out of her element, and Wilding turns his character into a moonstruck milksop. (Whatever did Elizabeth Taylor see in him?)

One cloudy morning, as Blaed was training, Flori approached.
“Oi-oi, Swithy, wha’s occurrin’?”
“Fuck off, Flori.”
“Aye, aye, what’s with all the hostility?”
Tumblr media
Blaed stopped fighting and turned to Flori, “I helped you get what you wanted with Lucas, and you have done bugger all to help me with becoming heir. I’m working my butt off and mum doesn’t even notice, she’s spending all her time in that bloody study with Wilfred. Dad knows how hard I’m working, but let’s be honest - his opinion doesn’t mean shit compared to mum’s anymore.”
Tumblr media
“Boohoo, poor you - ‘oh my mummy won’t notice me’. I thought you were the tough one? ‘Cause you sound bloody pathetic right now.” Flori replied.
Blaed looked ready to swing for Flori.
“Don’t even think about punching me,” Flori said, noticing her mood, “I’ll curse you into a dirt frog before you can even form a fist. Anyway, you shouldn’t be mad at me right now. Helping you is exactly why I’m here... well, warning you, actually.”
Tumblr media
“Warning me about what?”
“Warning you that Brandon is out-manoeuvring you and that if you don’t get your ideas together quick, he is going to take that crown!” Flori raged.
“What do you mean?” asked Blaed, worried.
“Come with me, I’ll show you,” said Flori, her rage immediately replaced with a cool nonchalance, “though, I do want you to change first. I ain’t touchin’ you when you’re all sweaty.”
Tumblr media
At the sight of Haca and Brandon together, Blaed swore under her breath.
“I’ll fuckin’ kill that ginger prick before I let him take my crown.”
Flori grinned, “You always were my favourite.”

"Less Alone”, su Pop Label / Jaywork il nuovo singolo di Roger Dj
Abbiamo incontrato Renato Carozzani alias Roger Dj che ci ha raccontato come è nato il suo nuovo singolo su Pop Label / Jaywork Music Group. "E' nato dalla sinergia in studio con il mio socio, Simon Vee. L'incubo della pandemia è passato e per fortuna siamo meno soli, come dice il titolo del brano", racconta.
Roger Dj racconti quali sono le tue radici musicali? Si sentono in "Less Alone"?
Le mie radici musicali partono da lontano. Adoro il funky di James Brown, Bobby Byrd e Maceo Parker, proseguendo con il suono cubano e tutto lo sviluppo che ha avuto ma musica negli anni. Mi eccita sentire tutte queste creatività sonore.
Come hai conosciuto Jaywork Music Group? Come ti trovi con questa realtà?
Conoscevo già Luca Facchini come collega e poi come compagno di lavoro. Un giorno mi disse, "sai sono il nuovo proprietario di Jaywork con Luca Peruzzi", altro mio compagno di lavoro. Sono due persone eccezionali. Ecco come è partito 'il famoso embolo', ma perché non fai una produzione, etc- E' una realtà solida e mi trovo alla grande, nel tempo crescerà e si farà valere ancora di più.
Che stai facendo di bello in questo momento dal punto di vista musicale e personale?
In questo momento sono impegnatissimo fra serate, aperitivi e produzioni. E dopo questa 'fatica, ci prepariamo con altri lavori per l'estate..
Come ti presenteresti come artista a chi non ti conosce?
Ciao, sono Roger Dj suono ai primi anni '80. Credo di essere un cultore della musica .Il mio hobby è la musica e il mio lavoro è la musica. Fate voi…
A che punto ti senti della tua carriera, che oggi culmina in "Less Alone"?
A che punto sono dell mia carriera? Mi sto divertendo tanto e credo di dare ancora tanto a questo lavoro perché non si finisce mai di imparare.
Ci dici quali sono gli artisti musicali più importanti per te e perché?
James Brown per la sua anima nera, i Genesis per la loro genialità. E poi i Police perché sono stati rivoluzionari nel mondo musicale. E infine un mio caro amico Wilfred Coppello, batterista, percussionista di tanti artisti italiani. E' stato lui ad insegnarmi ad ascoltare fra le righe della musica e capire come emozionare chi ascolta.
Che consigli daresti a un giovane che sogna di fare il dj e/o il produttore?
Il consiglio che nel mio piccolo posso dire è che questo mestiere non è per mercenari. Ci vuole impegno, tempo, dedizione. E soprattutto che tutto parta dal cuore per emozionare, E quindi, in due parole, non mollare mai.

Another Featured Review on Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast. This is an interesting film that I found from Letterboxd. It has an interesting premise that isn't fully realized, probably most to early cinema. Has anyone else heard of this one?
