Golly, there are so many movies at the theater that I am wanting to see....that doesn't happen very often, let me tell you!

SOMETHING NEW (which opens tomorrow)
KING KONG
CAPOTE
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK
WALK THE LINE....

It is nice that there are some movies up for Academy Awards this time that actually sound interesting to me.

Happy Birthday, Groundhogs Ben and iris!!!

Also natal day of my dear Ex, The Chuckster! I will take him out to lunch at Todai today - one of his favorite jernts...

I have always thought that the CAT WHO....books by Lilian Jackson Braun would make a nifty TV series, sort of along the lines of MURDER SHE WROTE.

I would cast Tom Sellek in the lead role as Jim Qwillerman. He has the right personality, I think, and he is at about the right age now.

Freddy might do a nice job as Koko...even though he isn't pure Siamese.

Anyone know of a Todai in W. LA??? I only know where the one in NoHo is...

Oh - I'm online... one can look up many things online...

I went home for lunch to find a most wonderful birthday gift, the Bell Telephone Hour DVD featuring none other than one of my most favorite performers in all of performing!

Ohmigod! Yesterday was Victor Herbert's 147th birthday! I totally forgot, or I would have asked you all to listen to some of his music. I listen to every note written for BABES IN TOYLAND about twice a week, and I still haven't decided if the most beautiful song written for it is "Barney O'Flynn" or "Mignonette," but it's a score full of beauty, charm and wit. I think he's a greatly under-appreciated composer awaiting re-evaluation and I apologize to all of you, and to Victor, for forgetting him yesterday. I blame it on the colonoscopy appointment. and Jose.

Had to send all the way to Mt. Pilot the last time it went.

Didn't they have one at Mt. Pilate?

Happy Day Late Birthday to Mr. Victor Herbert.

Ben · « **Reply #104 on:** February 02, 2006, 10:30:34 AM »

In honor of Mr. Herbert here is a portion of a song for those of us who feel Math Challenged. It's a little number he called I Can't Do The Sum. There are many more verses, as Mr. Moore can confirm.

Verse 1
If a steamship weighed ten thousand tons
And sailed five thousand miles
With a cargo large of overshoes
And carving knives and files,
If the mates were almost six feet high
And the bos'n near the same,
Would you subtract or multiply
To find the captain's name?

Refrain
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Put down six and carry two,
Gee, but this is hard to do.
You can think and think and think
Till your brains are numb,
I don't care what teacher says,
I can't do the sum

Didn't know they had a Todai in WLA. I must go to the one near me - haven't been there in ages.

And here's a verse, unpublished in the sheet music but published in the WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION, Feb. 1904:

If Laura's mother's hair is gold
When once that hair was black
If Katie's little brother knows
Just why the cat came back
If canned tomatoes have gone up
To forty cents a can,
And Mary's age is twenty-four
Why, then, how old is Ann?

Refrain
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Put down six and carry two,
Gee, but this is hard to do.
You can think and think and think
Till your brains are numb,
I don't care what teacher says,
I can't do the sum

Good Afternoon!

...And there's a Todai in nearby Fair Oaks Mall... Hmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #110 on:** February 02, 2006, 10:45:22 AM »

And thanks to the wonders of the internet, I have updated my address with those businesses that need to be kept abreast of such information.

...And now if I can just get my butt-cheeks in gear and start going through everything down here that needs to be sorted, filed and/or purged...

$:-\$

*However, I've already decided/realized that I probably won't head back up to NYC until next Wednesday or Thursday. This was I'll have at least three "show free" days to get stuff done.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #111 on:** February 02, 2006, 10:45:51 AM »

Well... That's the plan for now...

elmore3003 · « **Reply #112 on:** February 02, 2006, 10:46:57 AM »

And I always liked the cruelty of this verse:

If Clarence took fair Gwendolin
Out for an auto ride,
And if at sixty miles an hour
One kiss to capture tried,
And quite forgot the steering gear
On her honeyed lips to sup,
How soon could twenty men with brooms
Sweep Clare and Gwennie up?

Refrain
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Put down six and carry two,
Gee, but this is hard to do.
You can think and think and think
Till your brains are numb,
I don't care what teacher says,
I can't do the sum

In this age of Lemony Snicket, I think we're ready for a BABES IN TOYLAND that deals with child abuse, murder and demonic possession once again, everything NBC, Shirley Temple and Disney omitted.

I almost went to the Todai in Studio City...but it was rather spendy...and there is one in Portland...but so far I have never been to Today....I have also never been to me.

What?

Thanks for sharing that link. I was unaware of this DVD release.

I'm a bit perplexed why there are no songs from "She Loves Me" on it, though. One would think, given that she starred in it, that a number or two would be included....

DR Elmoore33, I watched the Charlotte Henry/Felix Knight BABES IN TOYLAND the other week...that was my V. H. celebration in his honor.

What?

Yes, Todai,
All your entrees truly make me sigh
Even those you really have to fry
Oh, I'm declaring
Yes, Todai

And of course Miss Annette Funicello recorded I Can't Do the Sum for the Disney-fied version of BABES IN TOYLAND!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #118 on:** February 02, 2006, 10:54:40 AM »

The Kritzer books, of course. But I am not sure of the casting!

MR BK

were you able to send me what I asked about?
