Perhaps a WIZARD OF OZ poster signed by Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, and Margaret Hamilton.

My book, HOLLYWOOD SNAPSHOTS: The Forgotten Interviews, is finally available on Kindle. 

It contains my exclusive interviews with Jack Oakie, Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Ann Miller, Paul Henreid, Gale Sondergaard, Howard Keel, Yvonne DeCarlo, David Janssen, Mary Pickford, members of "The Little Rascals" cast, and many other actors, directors, producers and song writers. 

Many of the often shocking things they said to me never made print...until now.

TOD

Something from Fred Astaire, like the top hat memorabilia that they make fun of at the beginning of The Band Wagon

The chair Frederick Egerman sits in during a brief scene of Smiles of a Summer Night. The back is covered with an image of a virgin with unicorn and is just beautiful.

T.O.D.

I certainly couldn't afford the real one, but like you BK, I do have that nice copy of The Maltese Falcon statuette in my home, as well as a copy of the "Rosebud" snow globe from CITIZEN KANE.

The one thing that I wish 20th Century-Fox would make available is an affordable copy of the portrait of Gene Tierney from LAURA.  I'd buy one of those.

I do have several several signed original lobby cards that I prize:

CITIZEN KANE signed by Orson Welles
BODY AND SOUL signed by John garfield
STAGE DOOR signed by Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball
G-MEN signed by James Cagney
BLACK LEGION signed by Humphrey Bogart
KISS ME KATE signed by Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Ann Miller and Tommy Rall

Also, sheet music signed by Al Jolson, George M. Cohan, Maurice Chevalier and Fred Astaire.

Title: Re: THE RICHARD SHOW
Post by: elmore3003 on October 12, 2017, 05:10:55 AM
When I went out to check on the elevator, Annabelle sneaked out behind me.  She had been raving because both her dry and wet food dishes were empty.  She must have pigged out between 10PM and 7:30AM vecause she's never eaten all that food before.  I hope she isn't pregnant.
Title: Re: THE RICHARD SHOW
Post by: elmore3003 on October 12, 2017, 05:13:50 AM
So, as I was preparing her food, I kept hearing her mewing but I couldn't figure out why she wasn't underfoot.  I finally realized she was in the hall and let her in.  The fact that she came back bodes well if she ever gets out again.
Title: Re: THE RICHARD SHOW
Post by: elmore3003 on October 12, 2017, 05:17:38 AM
I slept well until 5:30 or so.  Annabelle decided to leave her bed, which sits at the foot of my bed, and crawl in with me.  My left leg, even with the Advil, is too jumpy for me to lie in one position for a long time, and when she crawls under the covers and curls up at my knee, I have to be careful that I don't injure her when I change position.

I have a question for those of you who are more familiar with the backstage gossip of Broadway than myself.

Considering his roles in OKLAHOMA!, KISS ME KATE and KISMET, I've always considered Alfred Drake to be one of the great talents on the Broadway musical theater.  However, as I recall, when I was more active in the business, whenever his name came up, it was greeted with a scowl or a brief nasty remark with no explanation.

So, my question is "Why?".

Was he considered to be an a**hole among his fellow workers, or what?

I'm not writing a book about him.  I've just always been curious about that reaction.

DR JohnG, if you're going to have good results from your therapy, I think you'll feel it a day or two after.  After my therapy bouts, I was usually in pain for a good day.

There are two types of pain with me. The good kind is the muscle rebuilding its strength. The other is the way the back pain expresses itself. I’m supposed to have the former. But when I walk, usually a quarter mile or so, the wrong pain shows up.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  I was outta here for a 10am appointment with our family doctor for a flu shot and to have him look at my broken toe.  He said the pain I'm feeling in other parts of my foot and leg are from wearing flip-flops and from walking in ways to favor the sore toe.  So, I'm in more substantial shoes and trying to walk more normally.

Tonight, in 1935, "Jubilee," the Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical, opened on Broadway. The original orchestrations and scores have disappeared, and I was fortunate to be asked to reconstruct and orchestrate the show for performances at Town Hall, March 1-2, 1986. Since then, it has been performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Carnegie Hall, Indiana University Opera Theatre, and London.

For those who want more kitty photos...

I have so much trouble with Photobucket.  I also can't make the photos smaller on my blog.

So here is a link. These are the cats that showed up this spring in my backyard. The two black ones are the kittens (now big). You will notice that the other three have their left ears tipped. That indicates that they have been fixed. One of my neighbors took them in, apparently. I need to catch the two "kittens" soon.

Annabelle is very photogenic!

Two of those photos really catch her flirtatious side.  It's what caught my attention when I went looking for a cat.  Her attitude at the adoption was "take me! Take me!" Some of those poor animals were so depressed and unhappy about being abandoned that you could get no feeling for a personality.  Annabelle has a lot of moxie.

Thank you DR Kevin.

While the pain seems to get worse I had very good news from the orthopedist.  He said the x-rays look good and just don't do anything that hurts.  Return in 6 weeks if I am not better.

He was impressed, thanks to Keith, I had a photograph of my x-ray taken 3 months after my surgery.  I also had a description, again thanks to Keith, of the surgery.  The doctor had a pretty good idea just looking at his x-rays.

He then highly complimented the surgeon and the quality of my implant.

He then told me he has NEVER seen anyone with the range of movement that I have after having a similar surgery.  My physical therapist used to tell me he would forget I had an implant because of the way I moved. 

I credit my surgeon, my therapist, and my hard work and determination for my success.  Now I want the same quality of movement and same level of pain I had Saturday morning before I did whatever it is I did.

I am very glad Keith drove me to the office in Portland.  My iPhone GPS would have taken me the wrong way.

It took twice as long to get home with rush hour traffic, plus we had a storm with lighting & thunder.  By the time we got off the freeway I was ready to go to Beaches, have a drink and indulge myself, so we did.  It had stopped raining by then so we enjoyed the lovey view of the river.

Neve looks good, you look great.

For those who want more kitty photos...

I have so much trouble with Photobucket.  I also can't make the photos smaller on my blog.

So here is a link. These are the cats that showed up this spring in my backyard. The two black ones are the kittens (now big). You will notice that the other three have their left ears tipped. That indicates that they have been fixed. One of my neighbors took them in, apparently. I need to catch the two "kittens" soon.

https://andthisiswhatisawtoday.blogspot.com/2017/10/cats.html

Nice pictures, Laura.  I would think that just using the [ img ] [ /img ] code would work and automatically resize them here when they're posted.  That's always happened when I've linked images that are larger than 900 pixels across.

After I posted these, I went to Modify the message to look at the code and the board automatically added "width=900 height=676" into the [ img ] code so that it's not too big for the board.  Is that what you were talking about?

Now, when viewing the pictures on my phone, of course they're too big for that small screen, but they're still smaller than the original. :)

Tonight, in 1935, "Jubilee," the Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical, opened on Broadway. The original orchestrations and scores have disappeared, and I was fortunate to be asked to reconstruct and orchestrate the show for performances at Town Hall, March 1-2, 1986. Since then, it has been performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Carnegie Hall, Indiana University Opera Theatre, and London.
https://soundcloud.com/user5614139/jubilee-overture

My absolute favorite musical. Begin the Beguine, Just One of Those Things and Why Shouldn't I? are among its riches, but I also love the dizzy daffiness of The Kling-Kling Bird in the Divi-Divi Tree, Me and Marie and When Love Comes Your Way. Each Cole Porter song seems better than the last. Just a Picture of Me Without You, What a Nice Municipal Park, great joys all.

I spent a couple of years in high school learning the score from Cole Porter's private recordings of the songs. Larry's orchestrations are delicious.
