Well, you've read the notes, the notes had hope and were eternal, and now it is time for you to post until the eternal cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DISPORT!

ha! First post after MR BK!

It's been a long time since I did that!

Taking someone a REAL comic book is the WAY plays should be done. Audiences NOTICE those things....and if they don't, they're looking at their phones.

In this instance, it just took me right out of the play.

TOD

The Montreal Gazette or Montreal Star movie section.
Sunday NY Times Theater Section.
Weekly Variety used to have an annual edition.

Thanks, TCb, for your thoughts last night.

T.O.D.

I'd probably have the movie sections of the early to mid 1950s. Great ads back then.

Back when I was a kid, I used to collect the press books. The theater managers would give them to me after a picture closed.

I wish I still had them. They'd be worth a lot of $ now.

Got just a couple of hours to relax before a rehearsal.

Vibes to all, especially those impacted or potentially impacted by Irma.

T.O.D.

Easy. Every year of every place I've lived. Any of these would be a precious find.

1955-1960 Columbus
1960-1967 Fort Lauderdale
1967-1972 Cleveland
1972-1989 Los Angeles
1985-1986 Chicago
1989-1996 or so, wouldn't need later ones, Danbury

For me, it's more about the listings than actual ads, even though some ads would be great. I'd be delighted, for instance, just to have that half-page (?) "neighborhood listing" from the L.A. Times.

Our director has established a nice email rapport with Mr. T. Jones, who sent him his latest revision along with his approval to use whatever works for us, old (ahem, thank you very much, sir) or new.

I used to love the Sunday New York Times Arts section for those full-page ads. Many of the movies I wanted to see, however, didn't open in Kentucky until much later. But I, like BK, do remember the theaters in which I saw many of the movies. When I saw Wise Blood, for example, I was the only person in the theater, which is now the dollar theater that's close to my parents' house.

Also remember seeing everything from Das Boot to Rocky to Sleeping Beauty there.

I never saw a lot of movies, except for the art house flicks, on opening night. If you didn't see those on opening night, you might blink and miss them. I remember wanting to see some movie and waiting until Wednesday to go. By then, the audience had been so small that they yanked it.

DR JRand67, I was so angry over the length of my trip to the East Side that I completely missed your family tragedy. I send my condolences to all of you.

I slept really really late this morning - 9+ hours - and I'm still pondering my day.

It always does this to me as well......and people in movies driving their 50's/60's cars with the gear shift up in the park position.....or having cars NEWER than the year they say the movie is set in....it's worse though with props in a play for me...because you're right there....SOMEONE SHOULD KNOW!

Thank you DR ELMORE and all other Dear Readers for your kind comments.

I am still getting used to the idea of a "viewing" without the person there....just a cremation urn....but I also appreciate that it is easier for many people to do it that way.....

Condolences, DR JRand. I'd call the gathering a "visitation," but hope it's comforting whatever you call it.
