1906 Billy Wilder – Polish born US director (The Apartment, The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard, Stalag 17, Witness for the Prosecution, The Seven Year Itch, Some Like it Hot, The Front Page) He also directed the 1970 movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

Of the movies listed the only one I haven't seen is The Front Page. The rest were really good and Some like it Hot was my favorite. He really knew how to put a story on film.

1923 The Province of Manitoba adopted government control of the sale of liquor. They did this instead of adopting prohibition

Smart.
