Congratulations to ChasSmith and Fred for their milestones.

I was reading from a distance and thought that said Congratulations to ChasSmith and Fred for their intestines.

Did you have tripe for dinner tonight?

Watching "The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer." I don't think I've ever seen this before. It's kinda like a screwball comedy meets Son of Flubber. The parts with Myrna Loy and Cary Grant work. The parts with Shirley Temple are dated, even though she's not bad. (I know it's the film that ended her career.)

The auction JUST finished its second session - yesterday's was one of the most endless and longest auctions I've ever had to be a party to, and today's exceeded that by two-and-a-half HOURS. It was unbelievable. But in the good news department, Nick got the two things he wanted at their opening bid prices.

Had my second cheeseburger and am now listening to some Ned Rorem music.

The LA show CDs arrived today and have all shipped, including the Indiegogo copies. I gave the helper the opt-in list from the Kritzerland Indiegogo and over half that list includes people who are done with their perks. So, we had to tell them so (again, she always sends out e-mails when people have used up their perks), and hopefully they'll go buy it, but so far not a one of them has.

Cool! Can't wait to hear it all!

Myrna Loy was wonderful in it and Grant very funny. Shirley Temple is cute.

"She Loves Me" just ended. I enjoyed it VERY much. Would I rather have seen the original cast? Of course, but this one acquitted itself extremely well.

I was especially impressed with Zachary Levi. I knew the talent of the other cast members, but had no idea!

Am extremely happy to have seen the first "live" streaming telecast of a running Broadway show!

That's great, Ron. I didn't watch it. I needed to stay at work.

I saw the revival that BK recorded. I just wish the recording had had Judy Kuhn on it.

I do to.

Sorry that I am late. I had friends over for dinner. With fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Jane, you needn't worry about Sharry's hair color. When she says it is back to her natural hair color, she means red. The only person that remembers Sharry's natural hair color is Mary Magdalene.

T.O.D.

I got a lot of interesting theater memorabilia on eBay, mostly as gifts for friends. For myself, mostly autographed photos. Now days, you need a GPS unit to find your way through that site.

Topic of the Day: I mentioned this just last week when the topic was hidden treasures:

Quote

One of the other treasures that I have is one of the first things that I bought on eBay: a set of 36 slides (actual photographic slides) of The Manhattan Transfer performing in NYC in (I think) 1975, taken by Gorman Bechard. It was the original line-up, so it's Tim Hauser (who formed the group and died a couple of years ago), Laurel Massé, Janis Siegel, and Alan Paul (the original Teen Angel in Grease on Broadway). I remember the listing said that the sale included the copyright, but I don't have a print-out or anything with them, anymore. They're buried in a box somewhere, so I haven't seen them in quite a while...but I KNOW that I still have them.

Speaking of autographs, I once bought an autographed CD of Mandy Patinkin from Broadway Cares. When I finally located the signature, it was this ridiculous little scribble. It looked like the squiggle you make when you try out a new pen. I realized I could have made it myself, and saved myself $10.00.

TCB · « **Reply #144 on:** July 01, 2016, 12:06:07 AM »

I can't remember very many autographs I got for myself off of eBay. The nicest was probably the Angela Lansbury photo.
