My Grandfather Harry and Great Aunt Juliet had a younger sister named Marjorie Rosenfeld. This is a photograph circa 1920 of my Great Aunt Marjorie with her parents, my Father's Grandparents, Sam and Sarah Rosenfeld. Unlike her two siblings Marjorie was not a professional actress or in Show Business. Marjorie took a different path. She married a dentist named DDS Irving Perlmutter, moved to the suburbs and had 2 daughters. As it turns out, she got married 5 days before my Grandparents in June of 1927.
In an old leather valise at the top of a closet in my sister's old bedroom I found reels and reels of 16MM film that my Grandfather had shot in the late 1920's and 1930's. As well as being an actor and a playwright Harry was also an Early filmmaker who owned a 16mm movie camera in the 1920's and did a fairly thorough job of documenting his life on it. I restored and put the films onto DVD's and I'm currently teaching myself how to edit this unique and extraordinary footage which includes the wedding of my Great Aunt Marjorie, the wedding of my Grandparents and my Grandparents honeymoon; all relatives I never got the opportunity to meet, who passed before I was born.
