The real surprise for me in THE DESERT SONG was Allyn Ann McClerie's dancing.

Miss McClerie's career began, I believe, in ON THE TOWN, which is where she met and married Adolph Green. I think she's wonderful in WHERE'S CHARLEY?. which she left to do the lead in MISS LIBERTY. At some point she and Adolph Green slit up and she married George Gaynes. I also like her in CALAMITY JANE. She was Gwen Verdon's standby in REDHEAD, and I think she's wonderful in the recording of the Lincoln Center production of SHOW BOAT. I also like her as the grieving madwoman in JEREMIAH JOHNSON, and her last big role was Molly Dodd's mother.

Heads up, people...Facebook widens reach to tailor broader Web.

Quote
NEW YORK — Facebook is spreading its wings to the broader Web. It's a move that could change the way people experience the online world, though it could come with deeper privacy implications.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the new tools will allow users to see personalized versions of other websites they visit. It'll be based on the things they have shared on their Facebook profiles, such as their friends, bands they like or news stories they have liked.

If it works and users embrace it, Facebook could gain valuable insights that could help it sell more advertising, potentially rivaling online ad leader Google Inc.

Zuckerberg disclosed the new tools Wednesday at a conference for software developers in San Francisco.

I see Fox is repeating this week's GLEE episode on Friday night. Good! I'll record it so I can see that last number on the big screen TV.

The ratings were again "gleeful" last night with 13 million viewers.

Cool!  I can re-record it, too!  Thanks for the info!  Do you know what time?

I think I read 9 p.m., but I'd have to check about that.

Watching The Chocolate Soldier on TCM.  MGM must have really been desperate to put a scare into Jeannette MacDonald....but honestly didn't they give Rise Stevens a screen test?
 
And after they piped that pan on the big screen - they STILL put her in a movie?  Whew!

I see that WHAT'S UP DOC is coming to Blu-ray on August 10th. That's wonderful news! I love that movie. (VACATION and EUROPEAN VACATION are also coming out on Blu-ray, but I'm less enthused about those though there are some funny moments in each.)

Oy, the calling today to arrange this move, and the moving guy hasn't even come over yet.  We actually had him here 2 months ago to get a quote on packing and moving everything and it was simply too exorbitant, so I've spent the last two months on daily shleps to the new house and we really have probably 90% of our movable stuff over there already.  All the movers will have to do is the larger furniture now so I'm hoping that goes quickly and cheaply.

I agree. The camera does not love her. I watched THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER the last time TCM showed it, and her voice surprised me in its heaviness. It was not a easy mix with Eddy's baritone.

I guess I'm going to head down now and scout around for some fun things to watch tonight. No review items came in the mail at all, so the evening is mine all mine.

While driving into town for lunch out, to celebrate Keith's birthday, I noticed pink balloons hanging from the sign at our veterinary's office.  We were very excited.  I called from my cellphone & accidentally called her cell instead of the office.  On the 19th, her actual due date (first baby too) she had a baby girl with a full head of hair. :D

I missed her baby shower because of my shoulder.  If I get her a baby gift soon we can take it over & see the baby before she returns to work.

The first thing I looked at was the tail, Jane. It had no rattle, so I knew it wasn't dangerous. Also, the head is not pit-viper shaped.

How about a musical called No Man Can Tame Me - starring Gisele MacKenzie, John Raitt, and Eddie Foy, Jr.  Songs by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.

Ever heard of it?  Me either.....

An original musical on the General Electric Theater hosted by Ronald Reagan.

If ya got $200 ya can buy the television soundtrack.  :o

I actually have a slight memory of Ray Evans discussing this show with me.  I think he may have even shown me a chart from it.  It was one of the rarer Livingston-Evans tv opuses, anyway.
