Watching a movie called His Double Life with Roland Young and Lillian Gish. It’s based on Arnold Bennett’s Buried Alive, which was also the basis of Yip Harburg and Jule Styne’s Darling of the Day.

I saw this on the big screen once, at the Gish Theater in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Which they’ve since changed the name to something else due to Lillian Gish having acted in Birth of a Nation!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

However Darling of the Day will always remind me of an evening with Elmore where we saw that show as part of the Musicals in Mufti series on the east side.
