I'm listening to Claire Teal on BBC Radio 2 right now. After that I don't know what I will listen to. Perhaps th 1920s Radio Network Live Stream. I have an all staff meeting at 9am and then it's the McKnight Foundation.

We saw The Letter last night. Hedda Lettuce was in fine form. There was a group of young (18-19) NYU students in the audience. Their RA brought them as a Dorm Event. Most of them had never heard of Bette Davis! Oy, how to feel old in one easy lesson. The Letter was lots of fun. A silly, code-induced 1940 vehicle (Bette done wrong and she has to pay for it). The audience enjoyed it and so did we.

I am all alone at 7:37 so I shall take my leave for the time being.

Calm, cold morning.  Time to Sugar for a walk since it's not pouring on us.  The winds were rough last night but so far no damage.   I'll have to check my mother's house this weekend.  Undoubtedly something leaked or blew down there.

Glad everyone is surviving the wind and rain and tornadoes!  Whew!  We just have a lot of rain.

I have received my car - for a total of $78, so that wasn't too bad.

Good morning, y'all!

We just got comments from the presenting PBS station for our film. It looks like there will be m ore than a little bloodletting in NY this weekend...more like major surgery. They liked it, but had LOTS of comments.

As DR MATTH wrote, Phyllis certainly screams a lot and has more of an edge than Noel did in the later seasons - although the scripts were edgier in the first season, more noir and grit.

Noel had played Lois in the Columbia serials and was a natural choice to return to the role when Phyllis left (there hadn't really been a firm commitment that there would be a second season, she had a "special needs" child that demanded her attention, and she signed on for THE JACK CARSON SHOW, which turned out to be sort of a flop).

Director Tommy Carr - who had worked with Noel on some serials - was pretty disappointed to lose Coates and gave Noel a hard time on the episodes that he filmed....he felt that as an actress she was...."limited."

Last night - I think - the absolute WRONG person went home.  I would have sent the safe bottom three person home.  Ridiculous unwearable outfit and terrible television.

And barring that - the OTHER bottom two person would be gone. Oh well.

Good morning, all! I slept until nearly 8 am, and I've been downloading CDs into my iTunes. My only real goals today are to hit the NYPL and get some work on THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER reports. I've booked the hotel for DC next week, and I look forward to the trip. I need to spend some time today as well going through the Herbert Collection finding guide to determine what I need to look over so the Library has it in advance.

My neighbor has company again; lots of footsteps between 11:25 and midnight.

Thanks for these stories, DR JRand. I've read a fair amount about the making of the series, but I had never heard some of this, and it's very interesting. Makes me want to go back and rewatch my DVDs. I may do that this weekend even though I've got season five of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW sitting here unopened, and it'd love to see those again. Maybe I'll do both and take a break from movies for the weekend! We'll see.
