Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of lobby cards, and now it is time for you to post until the lobbying cows come home.

Finished fifteen pages, and I'd guess that maybe there are ten to go.

Good morning, all!

The cats have had breakfast and I wait for an Amazon Fresh delivery.

After reading the article on the MGM-Aldous Huxley version of Pride and Prejudice, I decided to watch the 1995 BBC-Andrew Davies version, which is far superior. I might have watched the 1980 BBC-Fay Weldon version, with my preferred actress as Elizabeth Bennet, if it had been available on Amazon Prime, but it was not. We got through three episodes last night, and there are three more that I will watch tonight.

DR Rodzinski, the evil queen and her desire to eat her two grandchildren are the strange tag to Charles Perrault's telling of La Belleis Dormant. I haven't read the Perrault stories in years, but if my memory is correct, the children are conceived while the Beauty is still asleep and unaware that her rescue is also her rapist.

Hoping BK is not feeling too sore today from yesterday's fall.

John G, your dinner yesterday sounded delicious!

There was a period in the late 1960s-mid 1970s in which The Curious Savage was a popular show for schools and community theatres. I haven't heard that tioned in years.

I directed The Curious Savage a few years ago at Putnam County Playhouse - the audience did indeed enjoy it. One of the actors had done the play someplace else and decided he would do the SAME performance even though it didn't really fit with the rest of the play.....idiot.

DR JEANNE thanks for that link.

DR JOHN G I didn't realize Huxley wrote that version - I was confused.

Rhythm on the River - an earlier movie Rhythm on the Range starred Bing Crosby and was the first BIG film for Frances Farmer at Paramount. Crosby is from Washington as was Frances. They became great friends....and remained so for life.

In the late 1960's Crosby arranged for Frances to become a co-spokesperson for Minute Maid Orange Juice.

At the BIG final meeting one of the MM executives made the mistake of asking Frances what Tyrone Power was really like. Frances was not amused - made an off color remark and then said: "Gentlemen, I do not care to sell your God Damned Orange Juice!" And then she walked out.

But she's very good in Rhythm on the Range.

My favorite line in the movie is from Martha Raye who takes one look at Bob Burns and says: "No matter what anyone says, you keep wearing that suit!"

Maybe I’m blocking something out, but I believe I’ve been fortunate in not having any real falls in recent years. As an adult, though, even the most minor ones can be alarming and embarrassing. We are not resilient like we were as kids. I don’t even like it when I trip on something.

So, tomorrow afternoon it begins.

Saturday morning greetings! Thank you for yesterday’s anniversary wishes from BK and DRs Jeanne, Iris, Jane, Laura, KevinH, and George. Hope I didn’t miss anyone.

We had a pretty low key day. I finished listening to Kelly Bishop read her memoir The Third Gilmore Girl and we went to a new (to us) place for pizza. It’s called Two Cities (New York and Chicago), so we had a deep dish. The location is the former municipal building for Mason, OH - a solid art deco structure about 20 minutes from our home.

I hope that DR LAURA's speech goes well.
