  • In biographical clippings Semon is described as a friendly, generous and very eccentric person. If so, what were his eccentricities like?


  • Does anybody know how and where I might get access to Larry's cartoons other than those I have scanned for this site? Larry worked as a cartoonist for the New York Sun, The New York Herald and The New York Evening Telegraph.


  • Is there anyone who has some personal items of Larry's such as his Latin grammar he turned into a cinema flipbook by drawing cartoon figures at the top edges? Do letters or other written items still exist?


  • What became of his other leading ladies such as Florence Curtis, Madge Kirby, Vera Steadman (Stedman) and Kathleen Myers?

  • What is known about Doris Deane whom he had a relationship with?

  • What is known about Larry's father Zera and especially about his mother and sister (his sister was Mrs. H.C. Cunningham and lived in Philadelphia)?


  • Does Larry still have relatives in Savannah? (He was sent there after his father's show turned out to be a financial disaster.)
