The Reggie Lyons snapshot reminded of other 'former-album' snapshots I have in my. .
um. .archives. I've finally decided to post some of them.
The albums and scrapbooks pages belonged to a relatively unknown actor from Denmark
, Carl Neubert.
Here's the seller's description:
Personal scrapbook page of
Carl Neubert. Mr. Neubert was born in Denmark in 1907. He was an actor that appeared in Catman of Paris.
Later on, he moved to Hollywood, California. He was married to
Ruth Warrick twice among others. He eventually became an Interior Designer with his own store in Hollywood.
He was well known in the social circles for decades. Friendships with major Hollywood stars were numerous. Some different candid scenes of people, cars, and scenery in California.
This find is quite amazing. It is his personal scrapbook page with pictures of him and his friends through his younger years. It looks to have been in 1930s when Carl first moved to Hollywood after being an actor in Europe. Some of the pictures have written descriptions of the scene and people.
Let's start with a snapshot of Mr. Neubert

I hope we can find additional information on some of these expats. I imagine at least a few of them worked in the movie industry.
More to come.
