I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:

4. SIPGBR_061124_047.JPG: Will Rogers, 1879-1935: Will Rogers, who was part Cherokee, once told a Boston audience, "My ancestors didn't come over on the Mayflower -- they met the boat." He spent his youth in traveling circuses as a rope artist and roughrider, later adding jokes to his lariat tricks. Eventually, he wound up on the vaudeville circuit, and by 1912 on Broadway, where he became a star of the Ziegfeld "Follies". He also embarked on a motion picture and then a radio career that would establish him as America's homespun philosopher. When he died in an airplane crash in 1935, Rogers was arguably the nation's best-loved personality. Jo Davidson, cast after 1938 original
5. SIPGBR_061124_057.JPG: Ginger Rogers, 1911-1995: Ginger Rogers won the Texas State Charleston Championship at age fourteen and then embarked on the vaudeville circuit, chaperoned by her mother. By 1930, she had become a Broadway star in the Gershwins' "Girl Crazy." Hollywood then beckoned, and Rogers partnered in nine films with Fred Astaire, bringing the silvery glamour to Depression-era America in such movies as "Gay Divorcee," "Top Hat," and "Shall We Dance." Other films included "Stage Door," with Katharine Hepburn, and "Kitty Foyle," for which she received a Best Actress Oscar in 1940. Her friend Isamu Noguchi worked on this sculpture while interned at a wartime camp for Japanese Americans. Isamu Noguchi, 1942
6. SIPGBR_061124_090.JPG: Leonard Bernstein, 1918-1990: Like George Gershwin before him, Leonard Bernstein exulted in the staccato rhythms of the city, especially the city -- New York. His career flourished on a parallel course as a composer, pianist, and conductor: he was hailed as an overnight sensation in 1943 when he replaced an ailing Bruno Walter as conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Shortly afterward, he met choreographer Jerome Robbins, and they created the ballet "Fancy Free" (1944). Bernstein was intent on creating music with a fast-paced, authentic American voice, and -- with his own heyday paralleling the golden age of the American musical -- he captured the pulsing energy of the city in his most popular works: "On the Town," "Wonderful Town," and "West Side Story." He also helped popularize music of all kinds in his legendary "Young People's Concerts," which were broadcast on television to wide audiences in the 1950s. Rene Bouche, 1960

10. SIPGBR_061124_142.JPG: John Wayne, 1907-1979: One of the archetypal heroic figures of twentieth-century film, John Wayne conveyed a decisive, solitary, reverent screen persona that reflected traditional American values. Wayne's collaboration with director John Ford led to such classics as Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and The Quiet Man. During World War II, Wayne starred in several morale-boosting movies, including Flying Tigers and Back to Bataan. He finally won an Oscar for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn in True Grit (1969). About his long-lived popularity he said, "I play John Wayne in every part regardless of the character, and I've been doing okay, haven't I?"

12. SIPGBR_061124_175.JPG: Katharine Hepburn, 1907-2003: Screen legend Katharine Hepburn was branded "box-office poison" in 1938, but--by sheer will and a shrewd business sense--refashioned herself into a cultural icon. She won the first of her record four Best Actress Oscars in 1933 for Morning Glory and made several popular films in the mid-1930s, including Little Women, but her subsequent choices like Christopher Strong and Sylvia Scarlett baffled her audience. Even such screwball comedies as Bringing Up Baby (1938) failed to renew her box-office popularity, and it wasn't until The Philadelphia Story (1940) that she was back on top. Hepburn partnered in nine films with Spencer Tracy, winning an Oscar for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. She also won Oscars for The Lion in Winter and On Golden Pond. She received a Kennedy Center Honors award in 1990. This portrait by her friend Everett Raymond Kinstler was said to be her favorite. Everett Raymond Kinstler, 1982
