Danise, I send my deepest condolences on your loss.

My dear, dont beat yourself up, I truly believe she sensed that you were there and that presence is truly important for she felt that you needed your rest. You have been incredibly selfless and God will look favorably upon that.

I have never really seen that many Barbara Stanwyck or Gary Cooper movies. Stanwyck of course in Double Indemity and being butch in The Big Valley TV series. As for Mr. Cooper there were maybe movies I believe I saw him in; one was also with Stanwyck Mr. Deeds Goes To Town and High Noon. Other than that I don't think there was anything else.

The one with Stanwyck was MEET JOHN DOE most likely.

JUST READ THIS
Re:Papermill Playhouse
This newly reworked version of The Pirates of Penzance was conceived by Gordon Greenberg, Nell Benjamin and John McDaniel. The production features book and lyrics by Sir William S. Gilbert, music by Sir Arthur S. Sullivan with additional book & lyrics by Nell Benjamin, music supervision, new arrangements and orchestrations by John McDaniel.


A new book?
new lyrics?

why oh why?

The NYSF production I believe kept the book interploted one song from one other show (It worked IMHO) and it was all in the staging and the performances.

Why oh why do they need to do things like that? The book isn't all that bad.


Actually the Joseph Papp production interpolated two numbers.  This Papermill version originated at Goodspeed.  John McDaniel? Plenty to be said, but nothing good publicly.

Hmm... I guess I should have attended that Barbara Stanwyck Film Festival a few weeks ago here in NYC...

Last night's weather entertainment....

AFter I logged off and shut down we started getting lightning but very little rain in north Fargo, however, south Fargo got nailed and pounded with hail and rain. Moorhead had penny-sized hail.  The lightning was so bright it literally lit the sky and some of it was quite incredible. There were a few strikes around the area.

A couple of hours later several storms linked togethere and formed a line and pounded the same area over and over. We just had little rain but lots of lightning.

Well...

My sister-in-law, Veronica, called about an hour ago.  She was standing in line to board the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.  And she was still about 45 minutes from boarding the ferry, so...  Her friend then wants to walk up to Wall Street - to take a picture with The Bull - and then over to Ground Zero.  And then over to Chinatown for lunch, so...

Since I'm guessing she probably just boarded the ferry, and that trip around the harbor takes a good hour if not more - the Statue is still closed, and she doesn't want to see the museum - I'm thinking we probably won't be meeting up until sometime around 2:00.  Possibly 2:30.

In any case, it's been nice having a leisurely morning here at the apartment.

So, Ginny, did they catch him?

And did they get the bird out of Richard's throat?

Oh, I forgot that detail in the dream!  It was lodged in the calf of one of his legs.  I don't know how it got there.  It medically astounds me.

And from what I understand, there's been further revisions since the Goodspeed mounting.  Thus the title change to Pirates!

And here's a link to the New York Times Review of that production.

There are some interesting tidbits of history in the review, including:

After a one-night performance in London, for copyright purposes, the show opened in New York on New Year’s Eve, with Gilbert and Sullivan in attendance.

I never knew that.

There's also a Correction appended to the review that has some interesting info.

Jrand and Pogue,

A good friend of mine got a piece of movie memorablia from BEAU GESTE several years ago. There was a thrift store here that had gotten a shipment of old movie clothing and she got a jacket that was possibly worn by an extra in the movie. It did not have a name it but it have written on the lower left in the back inside what movie it was for. MF and I both looked up the movie and found out that GAry Cooper but neither of us have seen it yet.

DR JMK - What was the question again, s'il  vois plait?

Francois was helping me with a colloquialism that had no good French equivalent (for a book I'm writing).  I finally had to sit down with the head of the French American School here in Portland and she figured out what would be best.

I forgot about Barbara Stanwyck in the BIG  VALLEY.

I liked some of stories in that show along with Bonanza.


I looked on IMDB and I forgot that she did make some appearances on Dynasty and THe COlbys.

Wish I could afford cable to see some of the classic movies.
