Chief Chamberlain Press Conference Sept 20 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxOfDGOEmwM These notes are still not complete, but they are here so others can draw many of the points and can point to the exact spot during the press conference. One of the most important points the chief made was that they were having a hard time identifying the persons in the video AND if those people were gang members. His entire point of the news conference was: We are not by any means taken over by Venezuelan gangs, TdA, or any other gang. (8:27) That statement has a certain silliness to it.

lobby card Fans of Betty Davis will have a treat watching this very early film when she was still trying to establish herself. However, Betty has said that she gave a better performance in the 1934 movie 'Of  Human Bondage' . Also, this is a repeated note. As most of the work for @BorderObserver is tedious, mundane and boring, these movies get played in the background repeatedly until it is time to review them. To be clear, the movie is replayed once and rewound multiple times just before we write the review.  SOURCE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordertown_(1935_film) MOVIE https://www.d-archive.org/bordertown-1935/ AFI https://catalog.afi.com/Film/823-BORDERTOWN OUR Commentary and LINKS TO THE MOVIE at the BOTTOM 'Bordertown' stars Paul Muni, Betty Davis, Margaret Lindsay, and Eugene Pallette.
