The intertitles in our silent picture show

I want to go back in time and steal this man's waistcoat. Or at least ask what he was reading:



(Francis George Packer, an actor I'd never heard of even under his stage name, Nigel De Brulier. He played the prophet Jokanaan in the 1923 avant-garde film of Oscar Wilde's Salomé, however, so I expect to see more of him soon. Discovered while looking for Conrad Veidt.)

nineweaving worries it would wear me, but I think the wolf hat could take it.

But what would you wear on your feet? We need to sort this out before the Vanity Fair photoshoot.

I've got boots; they're good boots. I haven't got any other interesting shoes unless you want to count the high heels I had to buy to play a nun in Yale Opera's Suor Angelica (which I still consider the funniest reason for buying shoes ever) and I don't like high heels.

I ain't a-finding fault with your good boots. I was just hoping there was some item of footwear that you could use to complete the outfit (theme: things with mythic or lyric resonance). Right now, all I can think of is Brown Boots, from the music-hall song of the same name. And that just won't cut it. Hm. Boots of Spanish Leather?

That's... *wipes away a tear*... wonderful.

Boots of Spanish Leather?

Unfortunately, they're L.L. Bean.

That's... *wipes away a tear*... wonderful.

I never had any problems with them, either. I'd expected all my life I would. I'm just not interested.
