The whole Gene de Paul issue is not that strange. The Wiki thing is worded very badly but 7 Brides was made into a stage musical and played on Broadway in 1982. It was, shall we say, a weak season that year. The show was nominated for Best Score but nothing else.

Here are the nominees for Best Musical for the 1983 Tony Awards

Cats (Winner)
Blues in the Night (Directed by Bruce's friend Sheldon Epps)
Merlin (with Nathan Lane)
My One and Only (with Tommy Tune and Bruce's friend Twiggy)

7 Brides starred Debby Boone and David Carroll and was not treated especially well by the critics.

It began previews on June 25, 1982, it opened on July 8, 1982 and it closed on July 11, 1982 for a total of 15 previews and 5 performances.

It opened in 1982 but because the Broadway season now goes from May to May, the July 1982 opening put the show into the 1983 Broadway season. It was one of the first shows to open in that season, along with Blues in the Night which opened on June 2nd 1982. It was also not successful, running for only 53 performances at the now demolished Rialto Theatre but besides being directed by Bruce's friend Sheldon Epps, one of it's stars is also an FOB (Friend of Bruce) Debbie Shapiro (as she called herself then).

Enough Broadway history.

This afternoon we are going to the Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center to see Syd Chaplin's silent movie, The Missing Link.

The trades involved two pricey books that the dealer had customers for - that's why it was so easy - one a pristine (but not as pristine as my own copy, which is also signed) of a rare Ray Bradbury book, one of his first, and one almost impossible to find with a non-faded spine (both my copy and the trade had no fade at all - very unusual) - Bradbury, which I got at the right time, has jumped up in value about three hundred percent since his passing.  The other was my extra copy of the original French paperback (the way it first came out) of Vertigo (Des Entres les mortes) - a book almost impossible to find.  I found two several years ago that were actually reasonably priced - both were on the ABE and just sitting there like so much fish because, I think, both dealers listed it under the French title (they were French dealers) and the word "Vertigo" didn't appear in their listing.  Neither copy was what you'd call pristine, but both were very good.  I kept one for the collection and have had the other just sitting in the closet.  Then I saw a listing for it, a copy in about the same condition for so much money it made my head spin.  This dealer had a Hitch collector and he was desperate for it and that completed the trade.  I think he's actually getting enough for that to cover his entire cost of what he paid for Shane, so the rest is gravy for him.  As for me, if you think about what I paid for the two trades, I got Shane REALLY cheap, which is amazing given what certain dealers are charging for it.

THE PLAY'S THE THING is P.G. Wodehouse's adaptation of Molnar's Hungarian play, usually titled "Play At The Castle" (I have no idea what the actual Hungrian title is!). Tom Stoppard's comedy "Rough Crossing" is also based on the Molnar comedy.  I have no idea how closely either follows the original Molnar.

The original French title was "D'Entre Les Morts" which translates to Between Deaths.

Pierre Boileau also wrote "Celle qui n'était plus" which was made into the classic film Diabolique

Saturday late afternoon greetings!  We were at McCormick Place by 9am and had a full day crawling the exhibit hall.  I went to 2 sessions, both author programs.  The first was the author of THE ENCORE CAREER HANDBOOK and the second was a panel of 4 authors, including Josh Hanagarne,  THE WORLD'S STRONGEST LIBRARIAN.  My AAUW friend Cindy, who lives here in Chicagoland, joined us and it was fun to show off ALA to a non-librarian.

A long time ago Keith was a librarian at Cal Tech in Pasadena.  After Bryan was born he found a job working for a publishing company selling books to librarians.

While at Cal Tech he started a rare book library that we have been told still exists today.

There's still a lot of stuff to be had, DR Jane, but I'm pretty careful about what I pick up.  I did get a free copy of the encore career book and had it autographed and some cool postcards from Lonely Planet travel books that I'm going to have framed.

I was in awe of the ALA when I finally got to see it.  I'm looking at my little magnetic paperclip holder I got there.  Do you still receive tons of gifts as you walk around?

There's still a lot of stuff to be had, DR Jane, but I'm pretty careful about what I pick up.  I did get a free copy of the encore career book and had it autographed and some cool postcards from Lonely Planet travel books that I'm going to have framed.

Nice!

I remember I kept saying I wasn't a librarian and people would say take it anyway :)  I mostly got books to read.  I had to leave it all with Keith so I couldn't have too much.  After leaving the convention I hopped on one of the buses to downtown New Orleans. :)

The whole Gene de Paul issue is not that strange. The Wiki thing is worded very badly but 7 Brides was made into a stage musical and played on Broadway in 1982. It was, shall we say, a weak season that year. The show was nominated for Best Score but nothing else.

Here are the nominees for Best Musical for the 1983 Tony Awards

Cats (Winner)
Blues in the Night (Directed by Bruce's friend Sheldon Epps)
Merlin (with Nathan Lane)
My One and Only (with Tommy Tune and Bruce's friend Twiggy)

7 Brides starred Debby Boone and David Carroll and was not treated especially well by the critics.

It began previews on June 25, 1982, it opened on July 8, 1982 and it closed on July 11, 1982 for a total of 15 previews and 5 performances.




You are correct, Ben, I should have said "strangely worded."

We have Gone With the Wind.

I would like David Copperfield.  We had the opportunity to purchase a Dickens manuscript, or part of one.  I can't remember.  While tempting it wasn't one that I wanted and not worth the price to me, or to pursue if it was authentic.

I tried to record the show last night but for some reason my PBS station has not been working all day. It is very odd. The screen is black and it says "we are having difficulties". IT's odd it's been this way since last night.

I wish the dates and locations for the ALA conferences went back farther.  I'm pretty sure it was in L.A. in January of 1994.  I can't imagine why else all those people from Keith's office would have been there.  We stayed at a nice hotel in downtown which was a novelty for me.  I had dinner one night at the hotel with everyone and one night Keith took them all to El Cholo's on Western Avenue.

That's ok, it got me to look it up as well.  Keith traveled so much I couldn't always remember why he was in a location.  I'm lucky he retired when Craig went off to college and I got to keep Keith home.  On the downside I was free to travel more with him just as the trips stopped.

On the rare occasions I did get to travel with Keith we used his air miles for the flight & my hotel accommodations were of course free.  It was rare that I got to tag along for business dinners and a real treat for me, especially when the dinners were at top restaurants in New Orleans-YUM!!!!!
