Bitch Slappin', Kid Smackin', and Jet Settin'!

No, Rita Hayworth was probably a lovely woman, and violence is just not at all cool (sigh... even against children, I suppose), it was just a catchy title. I may change it as it is sort of offensive, isn't it? Erm, yes, anyway, onto the ephemera! Be sure to click for the full size; these are postcards (save the student photograph) and have a lot of fascinating details that may be missed in the 'thumbnails'.

1. From the 1946 film Gilda, starring Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford.
2. A group of students, photographed in what appears to be the early- to mid-1920s.
3. El Sombrero Motel, Niagara Falls, New York
4. Hotel Sahara, Las Vegas.
5. Stardust Hotel, Las Vegas--nearly double-length postcard!
6. Monterey Court, St Augustine, Florida. (Front of postcard.)
7. Monterey Court, St Augustine, Florida. (Back of postcard.)
