Need a microfilm from St Pancras, London (British Library)

I need a London resident willing to go to the British Library at St Pancras and scan the microfilm of a 1965 Evening Standard article.

(The article is not available on Newspapers.com; see my previous WP:RX request here [1].)

Relevant details:

  • Evening Standard
  • Title appears to be: "IT'S THE GHOST OF LILLIE LANGTRY - AS QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN HER OLD HOME".
  • Date of the article is April 2, 1965.
  • One exact quote I've seen attributed several times to it is "Langtry's ghost appeared one day".

I need a copy of the article in full (it has been excerpted in at least one book and a few news articles), which is why I need the microfilm. I also need the page number.

Article being improved: Lillie Langtry

My email address is softlavenderwiki@gmail.com

For Thangjing Hill Thanks, -- 🐲 ꯂꯨꯋꯥꯪ ꯋꯥ ꯍꯥꯏꯐꯝ (talk) 16:41, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Luwanglinux: Why that page range? The matches are on pp. 45 and 46, and carefully searching Google Books ([2], [3]) and elsewhere ([4]) shows that the containing chapter is "Origin, Growth and Fall of the Moirang Principality in South Manipur Valley" by L. Basanti Devi on pp. 45-51. Should I request an interlibrary loan for this chapter, instead?

@GreenC: Newspapers.com in the Wikipedia Library should have Baltimore Sun from those dates; their coverage goes all the way back to the first issue on 1837 May 17. Solomon Ucko (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I tried the general search and got nothing. Looks like i need to log into newspapers.com and search from there. And I found them. Thank you! -- GreenC 15:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably going to need ILL, sorry.

For Litha Musyimi-Ogana. Note on 1, Google source gives a range of issues: 1070-1162. I found the specific issue and article name here but I have no clue if the page number is the same. Also searching the google source, the issn given in the google book is 0294-6467 (the French version), but worldcat shows other numbers for English. For the 2nd one, I cannot find a version I can access from Mexico. Hathitrust verifies the page number but isn't open access and I can't find it on archive.org either.

Thanks, SusunW (talk) 21:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SusunW: Litha Musyimi-Ogana appears to be here. The previous page says that this is the biography published in the book. Zerotalk 01:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Zero0000. Appreciate the help. Can anyone find the 1st one? SusunW (talk) 05:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
