content: This subseries consists of photographs of well-known film and entertainment personalities, artists such as William Crutchfield, Patrick Farrow, Leon Ulbricht and others apparently taken for the Giraffe Gallery in Los Angeles, and Sidney acquaintances within the professional and social sphere.  This series contains photographs of weddings, dinner parties Sidney attended, events held away from the Sidney residence, and unidentified joggers. The photographs are arranged alphabetically by last name or subject and then sequentially according to Sidney's film roll numbers.  There are photographs of Marcella Napp, an assistant casting director at MGM during the 1930s and 1940s and one of the few woman at the time to hold such a high-ranking studio position.
