"Them pipes out the top" were exhaust pipes to remove the heat & smoke produced by the burning of the arc rods. There was a postive rod & negative rod & the diameters were slightly different. Worked like an arc welder & the light was even brighter. Those were the good old days of the 50's

what is them pipes out of the top

looks like cell phone antennas mounted on the right smoke stack.

Ah, the old days with the 20 minute "double reelers". (22minutes, 13.33 seconds to be exact) Film used to be shipped (and still is) on 2000 foot reels. (on 1000 foot reels from the film company, combined at the film exchange) I haven't worked as a projectionist since the '70s, but I remember working in a state hospital, showing the weekly movie for the residents. I think I was paid $30 for my services.

I wonder if the first part is the family saying "goodbye" and then what they really meant... don't talk to me, leave me alone. And then to wrap it up, a PS from the writer "I want to go home"

I kinda think it looks like some kind of cool light fixture.

way I see it is someone writing a note to someone who's "goin home for the holidays" but there not so instead of sayin goodbye the wrote them a note and don't want them to speak and say goodbye and stuff before they go because that would annoy/upset them because they really want to go home but they have to stay...does that make sense :)

my take on it is that the 2 in leotards at the back are been given instruction the one without the leotard is puttin the other one in the correct position and would probably go on to do the same with the girl in the black leotard who's flounderin about. Whereas the one in front is takin no instruction and is dancing quite happily to her own beat...I really like this pic

Thats interesting Richard, my grandparents were from Germany. I remember that my grandmother couldn't stand to look or even like talking about clowns. I never really knew why.

It looks like he kind of mummified there.

Mr. motts. notice a person sitting in the chair on stage with no arms nor legs and the orbs along the window sills.
