Bruce Calvert found a new site for his The Silent Film Still Archive, so i changed the link on the home page. Derek Boothroyd send some more pictures, which i put on the Pictures page. Rick Dettwiler sent me information on Joyce's daughter Peggy which i added to the bottom of the biographical essay , plus xeroxes of documents and pictures. The pictures are too dark to copy, but i did add Alice and James Regan's marriage certificate and registration of the marriage from the Office of the Recorder of Births, Marriages, and Deaths of the Parish of New Orleans, which i added to the Pictures page
January 2007
Derek Boothroyd sent two more scans of photos of Joyce from, Dancing Mothers, and Mannequin. By chance I identified the third woman in the picture at the bottom of the biographical essay as Anna Q. Nilsson.
