BK has a thread going at FilmScoreMonthly Messageboard about his upcoming "mystery" release.

If JRand's excellent guess was correct about what the title is, then the guesses at FSM are highly amusing and kind of strange, IMO.

I've seen folks suddenly verbally drooling over stuff I never read anyone "wanting" before.

And if Jrand is correct, no one, last I looked, has even named the composer of the upcoming score in all the wild guesses that have been flying.

Can you (or someone) post a link??

3. Choose your battles

It's apparent that I'm not a parent

, but I've always heard the expression as "Choose your battles wisely." I think that that's an important distinction in any situation.

Not to be confused with DR George, I'm sure.

I had nothing to do with it!!

Thanks a lot, but no thanks.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page ten.

Some one in an email earlier confused me with another Tom who used to post here. I wonder what happened to TCB.

Speak for yourself! I loathe and detest McDonalds. McDonalds is evil! Evil, I say, EVIL!

As for "The old folks sit for a spell," that's because I'm on my feet supervising. Only the really old folk sits.

At least the younger grandlad knows that there are interesting foods to be eaten at places other than McD's. The older grandlad thinks of that dastardly place as the epitome of culinary delights. Danged brat has no desire to aim any higher. Bleh.

Sometimes, there's nothing better. Of course, I only get the craving about once every six weeks!

I just found BABES IN TOYLAND photos from 1903! Here's the end of the opening Act One number. You can't see it, but the men in the chorus are wearing hats made of water sprinklers.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #280 on:** July 30, 2008, 05:24:41 PM »

And here's the closing Act One Butterfly ballet. That's Miss Albertina Benson as the Moth Queen.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #281 on:** July 30, 2008, 05:28:50 PM »

And here's Bessie Wynn in the Toymaker's Shop addressing the Master Toymaker after singing "Toyland." The men's chorus is dressed as toymakers and Margaret Sutherland, who lost "Toyland" to Bessie is sulking in her apprentic garb on the left.

Thanks for sharing your delightful "Babes" DR Elmore.

Thanks for sharing your delightful "Babes" DR Elmore.

You're welcome, DR tomovoz!

and for DR MattH, who's been giving us lots of MGM "Oz" dances, here are photos from the 1902-1903 WIZARD OF OZ by the creators of BABES IN TOYLAND!

That's Anna Laughlin as Dorothy and Bessie Wynn as the poet Dashemoff Daily in the middle of the shot.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #285 on:** July 30, 2008, 05:39:26 PM »

And here's the Act One finale of the snow covering the poppy field. That's Dorothy (Anna Laughlin) kneeling in the center of the photo, Fred Stone as the Scarecrow and Bessie Wynn are on the right along with an unknown character, possibly Tryxie the waitress and Dorothy's cow Imogene. On the left are Pastoria, the rightful ruler of Oz, the Cowardly Lion, and David Montgomery as the Tin Man. And I think that broad at the back is Miss Albertina Benson again as the Snow Queen.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #286 on:** July 30, 2008, 05:46:45 PM »

And here are Montgomery & Stone doing "Hurrah for Baffin's Bay," the show's biggest hit after Tryxie's number with the ladies "Sammy." The Arlen-Harburg score is soooooo much better!

Gee, Happy Meals and the playground is why we like taking the lads to McDonald's. They get to pick the meal of their choice, and you get fast service (and the kids usually opt for a milkshake over a soda). The toys usually wait 'till after they eat and the playground is a great way of letting them burn off energy while the old folks sit a spell. More often than not the toys get left in the car. I always budget the extra playground time into the shopping trips, so it work's out fine.

Are we supposed to believe that Woody lets you take the grandkids to McDonald's?

bk · « **Reply #289 on:** July 30, 2008, 05:54:01 PM »

I, like elmore, do get McDonald's craving, although much less frequently now because of those two rancid filet o' fish sandwiches I had to toss. That sort of thing really does harm - certainly I will never ever have one of those sandwiches again, but every six months or so I like a Big Mac.

DR Elmore - looks like you had a very fruitful day at the Lincoln Center NYPL!

By the way, in our mail today we received the promo booklet for the 30th anniversary season of a certain local theater company. Remember when said company did material by Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and even Neil Simon? This is real dumbed-down "drama."

It's a far step from "The Apple Tree," "The Beggar's Opera," and "Look homeward, Angel," n'est-ce pas?

What is it with these PROJECT RUNWAY folk? Don't they know after so many years that a night out is always deceitful?

Between doing grants collection maintenance this morning, gathering Olympics books from the main floor and the basement this afternoon, and shopping for a bamboo plant on the way home, I spent too much time on my feet today.

'night!
