Thanks, CBD. Makes up for yesterday's dreck.

The "house" on the bridge is the Bridge-tender's cabin or perhaps operator's shack. It looks to be a lift or a swing bridge.

No elevators. Open stairs, as shown in the one to the ground. Even worse were the bridges that had the control cabin in the middle of the lift span. If the span jammed in the Up position, the operator was effectively trapped.

48 He’s got paintings hanging in almost every major museum in the US. Like other artistic ventures like singing, music, acting etc , it’s the non artist powers of that field who decides who gets to be famous. ‘Getting the break’ .

I think team professional sports has a lot of that phenomenon also. Scouts and coaches spot talent about as well as any regular sports fan.

68 "Max Arthur Cohn."

It just goes to show you that when I saw the artist's name, the first two things that popped into my mind were:

1. "MacArthur Park."

2. "On The S.S. Bernard Cohn" from the musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

An old joke I read: Cohan was staying at a Dublin hotel. One morning, a bellhop went into the kitchen and said, "Mr Cohan would like his breakfast sent up to his room."

"What?" the cook yelled. "Tell that Jew bastard he can come down and eat in the dining room like everyone else!"

"No, not 'Cohen,'" the bellboy said, "Mr CoHAN."

"Well, saints be praised, why didn't you say so in the first place? You tell that gentleman that breakfast will be right up!"

American Art si edu (Smithsonian)

Best known as a pioneer in screen-prints, Max Arthur Cohn was born to Russian immigrants in London, in 1903, and moved with his family to New York City in 1905. He got his first art-related job creating commercial silkscreens when he was seventeen. Cohn began to experiment with silk-screening on his own and later exhibited his prints in New York City and Washington, D.C., in the 1930s and '40s. During the Great Depression, he also worked as an easel painter for the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program that supported artists by providing them with a small stipend. In the 1950s, Cohn owned a graphic arts business in Manhattan, and is credited with teaching silkscreen techniques to a young Andy Warhol.

Like the industrial art from the time of the WPA project but would likely pass hanging it. Thanks.

Tangential:

One of Titanic's producers died last year, and a memoir he wrote is being published soon. So, movie sites are covering it a bit, mostly about his decision to push for the original 4 minute long trailer for the film.

I don't think I'd ever watched it before, so I looked it up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHekzSiZjrY

It's essentially the entire movie up until the tail section of the ship goes down, and it helped propel the film to be the biggest movie in history (until Avatar).

People wonder why trailers give away so much? Titanic is why.

There apparently isn't any record of this actually happening. Groucho mentioned it in an interview but viewing the actual film of the episode shows nothing like that. There are people who think the original broadcast film may have been altered.

284 Reminds me of the line Groucho Marx said to a woman who had a lot of kids on his TV show.

Woman: “I have 14 children, Groucho”.

Groucho: “You have 14 children? Why do you have so many kids?”

Woman: “Because I love my husband”.

Groucho: “I love my cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while.”

Posted by: Bulg at October 15, 2025 10:56 AM (77rzZ)

---

The infamous sketch, written by Arch Oboler, starred Mae West (alongside Don Ameche as Adam) in the Garden of Eden. West's line that got NBC lambasted by Women's clubs and Catholic groups was, "get me a big one… I feel like doin' a big apple!", which was deemed to be obscene and immoral. That incident was one of the first instances where a radio show was deemed indecent by the FCC. Mae West was blamed by NBC, and they banned her from their stations. Even a mere mentioning of her name was not allowed. After that incident, no one would let her perform on the radio until 1950.

Another new thing I learned today.
The knives must've been out for her, because that was pretty tame.

306 No elevators. Open stairs, as shown in the one to the ground. Even worse were the bridges that had the control cabin in the middle of the lift span. If the span jammed in the Up position, the operator was effectively trapped.
Posted by: capercaillie4901
-------
Do an image search for the Steel Bridge in Portland. The control cabin is exactly as you described.
Another difference between it and the painting is that it is a double-decker. Upper carries auto traffic and streetcar, lower deck is pedestrian and bicycle and the Union Pacific tracks. UP actually owns the bridge, not the city.

Sefton is right. It's Lower Hack Lift. Originally built in 1928 by the Lackawanna, now it carries the NJ Transit Morris & Essex Lines. Actually two lines in the background: the NJT Main Line (former Erie Lackawanna) at river level and the PRR (now Amtrak Northeast Corridor) in the distance.
