Last night, before I watched the ballet, I scrubbed out the tub, but  I'm afraid to check it this morning. The new maintenance company our building management hired does lousy work and I honestly do not want to have them take care of the problem. When I called them last year about a leak in the bathroom sinnk, the "plumber" they sent repaired the leak, but now the taps turn in different directions and the water pressure is ridiculous.

TOD: I had to look up what a roadshow movie was, but I'm pretty sure my parents took me to see Grand Prix and 2001 in that format. Definitely Grand Prix, which was in Cinerama. That was first but 2001 would be my favorite.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF APRIL
Post by: Jrand73 on April 30, 2024, 07:58:20 AM
TOD:

The Sound of Music at the Circle Theatre in Indy.

Gone With The Wind (1968 re-release) at probably the Loew's in Indy.

And like DR MICHAELG - 2001: A Space Odyssey & Ice Station Zebra at the Cinerama theatre.
Title: Re: THE LAST OF APRIL

Besides ''Harmony,'' the other shows that were completely shut out were: ''The Cottage,'' ''The Heart of Rock and Roll,'' ''How to Dance in Ohio,'' ''I Need That,'' ''Once Upon a One More Time,'' ''The Shark Is Broken'' and ''The Wiz.''

I don't pretend this is a complete list of them, but I had wonderful experiences seeing a fair number of movies in roadshow engagements, if not nearly the wealth of them that BK and others did. A question mark means I'm not positive whether my viewing was fully roadshow, or whether an intermission was still included at that time.

Tonight, as it happens, I'm seeing something very special, that is not only great in itself but which holds a wonderful memory for me. It's Classic Tuesday night at the Bedford Playhouse, and tonight is Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three. I think BK has talked at length about this one, which it richly deserves.

As to the wonderful memory, it's simply one of being taken to see it on its opening night at the lovely Florida Theatre in downtown Fort Lauderdale. That's where we also caught opening nights, or at least opening weekends, for the likes of The Music Man, The Miracle Worker, Mary Poppins, Bye Bye Birdie, and many others ... always with full houses and appreciative, captivated audiences. I loved going to movies then, but I didn't yet know how rare a privilege it was to be, always seeing the latest releases with packed audiences. It also just happens that that first viewing of One, Two, Three remained the only time I saw it in a theater, until now.

I had the privilege of meeting Val a couple of times, and his wife, too, at least once. They were the nicest people, and I know he loved visiting Annabelle back then. He was so helpful at all times, and when we just happened to all be standing out front together, without even being asked he helped load my car with boxes destined for the libraries. You just don't throw away someone like that. And yet, to save a dollar, they did.

TOD:

The very first time I reserved seats for a movie was for "The Sound of Music".  We always seemed to get the roadshow movies "Now at popular prices" but first-come, first-served on seats.  "The Sound of Music" was very different.  It was already the top movie on the box office when it reached my city in 1965.  I was there on the first night and everyone was very excited.  We were, none of us, disappointed, either!

Title: Re: THE LAST OF APRIL

Another Tuesday and it feels like the day is over much earlier than I wanted it to be.


I was up at the crack of whatever, had coffee, showered, dressed and got into my truck and drove to North Augusta for the first of this week's Stemwave treatments.   I must say that the improvement continues.  I am most encouraged.

I returned home (no stops along the way) and went to the post office.  There, for about the fifth time in six years, I had NO mail.  It's always a memorable day when my mailbox is empty.

Later, I went to the bank to make a deposit and then to The Triangle (Don't Be Square, Eat at the Triangle) and had hamburger steak and onions with gravy, creamed potatoes and stewed tomatoes with okra.  It was very tasty.

Here I am at home and cannot fathom what I have done since lunch other than putz around with my phone.

Sigh.

Another Tuesday and it feels like the day is over much earlier than I wanted it to be.


I was up at the crack of whatever, had coffee, showered, dressed and got into my truck and drove to North Augusta for the first of this week's Stemwave treatments.   I must say that the improvement continues.  I am most encouraged.

I returned home (no stops along the way) and went to the post office.  There, for about the fifth time in six years, I had NO mail.  It's always a memorable day when my mailbox is empty.

Later, I went to the bank to make a deposit and then to The Triangle (Don't Be Square, Eat at the Triangle) and had hamburger steak and onions with gravy, creamed potatoes and stewed tomatoes with okra.  It was very tasty.

Here I am at home and cannot fathom what I have done since lunch other than putz around with my phone.

Sigh.


Great Stemwave progress news!

I have asked for an hour to finish Kansas City but I was informed by my c0-choregraphr that she will need ALL of tonight to work on The Farmer & The Cowman - which she has completed with no input from me....

Okay....she's says she'll just use the choreography she used for the barn dance in Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.....

DR RODZINSKI I have loved THE SEASON since I first read it at least 50 years ago......

One of my favorite things is a conversation between two husbands whose wives were in the ladies room during the intermission of Judy Garland's show "Back At The Palace."

One:  I don't know.....is it theatre?

Two:  It's gotta be.

One: What do you mean?

Two:  It sure as hell ain't singin'.
