Then I put in SALLY, one of the early talkie musicals recently released in the Warner Archives. Typical quality for a 1929 movie that hadn't been touched in terms of cleaning up or processing the sound. Still, it really showcased Marilyn Miller's dancing. She got to do all different types of dancing to really display what she could do to the entire country. No wonder the movie was such a big hit in its day.

Once "Wild Rose" started, I was terrified that the three minutes of Technicolor footage that had been found had not been inserted into this copy of the movie, but it finally kicked in, so at least now I have the same SALLY that's been broadcast on TCM a few times in the last twenty years.

I have always wanted to see this film. I worked on a production of the show around 1988 with Mrs Matt Ashford and Alan Sues. I liked him a lot.

Well, they cut a lot of Kern and replaced it with other songs by other writers. Still, it's easy to see why she captivated people even with a very mediocre singing voice. She's just effervescecnt when she dances.

Since I only got a little over five hours of sleep last night, I'm heading down to bed now and hope with clean sheets and a lack of sleep last night that I'll sleep like a baby.

Good night!

My college dorm neighbors woke me up again at 3:30AM this morning.  And of course I had to send a strong email to the management company before I left for work.  Their reply was that a lawyer was sending the college dorm neighbors a letter of complaint.  Would it not have been easier to just tell them to comply with their lease agreement.   

I'm done with the stupidity of this whole thing.  I should have done what the police officier at the station told me to do, just move.   But no I had to have a big mouth and open it.   I have a bad feeling.

I probably will not post for a couple of days.   Till the weekend anyway.  Later   ;D ;D

Good Evening!

Well... Shortly after I posted my previous post, I guess I must have passed out, fell asleep.  And then I got a phone call which woke me up.  Then I fell asleep again.  Then I sort of woke up.  Sort of.  I managed to catch some of the "Top Chef: Las Vegas - Reunion" show, as well as the final decision on "So You Think You Can Dance?".

And, now... Well... I'm still really feeling very sleepy, so...

Goodnight.

Oh...

And I meant to watch "Sing-Off", but...

And did anyone watch the broadcast of the Luc Bondy Tosca from The Met tonight?  -At least it was on here in NYC.

Anyhoo...

Wel, I have the McGlinnventory in the morning. Good night, everyone.

The vodka's kicking in and I'm sleepy.

The "Appalachian Carols" sure remind me of my Dad. God love him.I do miss him. Sad to be an orphan at 60!

Woo Hoo it just hit 20 degrees. The warmest in days....we're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave.  I may be able to walk without my face covered with a scarf....which reminds me.  as I was walking in the ice cold with my entire boday covered except a narrow area around my eyes, I thought parka/burqua  potato/potahto

Better go,. I need to read police reports from a gang beating of a rival.  Word to the wise, don't brag about criminal exploits on Myspace....one subpoena gets everything you've written....another word to the wise,  deleting after they get a subpoena is really a waste of time

I noted something interesting on the channel surfing today. Apparently the local nbc affiliate is adding this as a subchannel

http://www.thistv.com/

Has some interesting movies... Including one Ihave not seen in years....

The new gal assistant, who is actually the daughter of two of my favorite booksellers, Patty and Craig Graham, they of Vagabond Books, turned out to be fantastic, and I intend to use her every time I need extra help.  So focused and conscientious, and a real problem-solver.  Very happy indeed.
