#OnThisDay in 1900 designer #NormanNorell was born in @NoblesvilleIN. During WWII, sequins weren't rationed, & they became a trademark feature of his work, such as this evening dress (1945). Find it in "Silver Screen to Mainstream" at CHM. #SilverScreenChi hubs.ly/H0hrgB30 pic.twitter.com/EI6ODEv5DH

#OnThisDay in 1896, #HowardGreer was born. He fought in France in WWI & stayed to begin the design career that led him to Hollywood. This dress (c. 1940) is similar to one he made for Irene Dunne in “My Favorite Wife.” See it in #SilverScreenChi. hubs.ly/H0hrdJP0 pic.twitter.com/LRusLVJ0Yw

#OnThisDay in 1865, #AbrahamLincoln breathed his last in this bed after he was mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth at @fordstheatre the previous night. CHM acquired the bed in 1920, and you can find it in the Alcoves on the 2nd floor. hubs.ly/H0hrzdk0 pic.twitter.com/9031ZbC8F4

“It was kind of like Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Thanks to the #CHMResearchCenter staff, Grant DePorter used architectural plans to confirm the existence of a hidden vault in a building once owned by mob enforcer Frank Nitti. The next step? Finding out exactly what’s in it. twitter.com/WBBMNewsradio/…

Given that “Chicago” is derived from “shikaakwa,” the Miami-Illinois word for “stinky onion,” it seems fitting that Jones and Mann earned their PhDs there.
