All really good selections. I love the look on both faces in ‘Old Folks at the Theater’. Mom’s clearly not pleased with whatever’s going on on stage.

‘Charlie Chaplin Fans’. I like and agree with your comments regarding the light. The angle gives the impression you’re looking at them from slightly below. I’ve also noticed the very large bows in girls’ hair on other covers from the ’10s. It’s one of those stand-out things exclusive to that time period, apparently.

‘Asleep at the Theater’ is another beautiful cover with an unusual angle.

Very good covers. Nice to see some Rockwells that are not well known. Liked the man asleep in the theater, he seems to be having a good time.

Loved the cover of Old Folks at the Theater. Yep, Pops looks like he’s having more fun than a guy ought to have. Or maybe more fun than he’s EVER had, especially seeing the look on the Missus’ face. I’d say if he keeps grinning like that, he’s in trouble, big-time. Love these covers!
