I saw Lorenz Hart's brother Teddy in a movie on TCM this week - A GIRL IN EVERY PORT.

He played a small time gangster - named Happy - and he was very funny.

Teddy and Dorothy Hart moved to Los Angeles after Lorenz Hart's death. The Harts claimed, and I do not doubt it, that Richard Rodgers had him blacklisted from working in New York.

I've had my bath, the cats had their treat, and I have a few bits and pieces to take care of tonight. I have to be up till 11:00 for my last round of antibiotics, so I may just stay up all night. I need to start moving around 4:00 to be out of here at 5.

Starting The Comedy of Errors.

The Boys from Syracuse is better!

It is. But then again, Boys of Syracuse doesn’t use a single line of Shakespeare. But it was the last show (outside of Henry VIII) of Shakespeare’s that I hadn’t seen. So, I had to watch it once.

Actually, it does use one line of Shakespeare's play!

Yeah, and I don't even think it was from Comedy of Errors. I'll have to dig up my DVD of the show.

Watching an AIDS fundraiser from 1987. The original Australian cast of Les Miz did an evening of Sondheim songs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to the songs selected or the order, and it doesn't matter. June Bronhill is supposedly a guest star, but she hasn't been on in the first half-hour. And now, at the first half hour, is the first song with a tune by someone other than Sondheim. It's Somewhere.

Video quality is horrible, but the sound is good.

DR ELMORE I do not doubt that one bit - but that's sad.

What was the joke? When Rodgers was writing with Hart, people would say: "Look out for the tall guy, he's a bastard."

And then when he started writing with Hammerstein II, people would say: "The short guy is a bastard."

I'm still astonished that Josh Logan let him get away with taking away his royalties for South Pacific - I guess it was "no money if you want to keep the writing credit".....I heard.

Indianapolis/Marion County is under a curfew from 8 p.m. tonight until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.

No traffic allowed into town. Folks were given warnings....go home....second warning.....handcuffs....

The Indiana Repertory Theatre - which started life as a Paramount Publix Movie House in downtown Indy very close to the Circle had its front windows broken out last night.....I can't post the second picture because of NSFW graffitti scrawled on the Box Office and poster frames....

And people were outraged when Sondheim said Rodgers was a man of infinite talent and limited soul.

June Bronhill shows up about 14 minutes into the second half of this Sondheim show to give a really beautiful rendition of One Last Kiss. Almost from the beginning, the goosebumps started. It appears that she may have had a stroke, but no matter. Her vocal is clear and lovely. As is true to the song, it may not be as broad and youthful as the younger Heidi, but I would rather hear Bronhill.

I think I'm going to go soak my aching back. Tonight's thunderstorm is rolling in.

Now they've lit the St John's Episcopal Church across Lafayette Square from the White House, on fire and the fire trucks can't get there so far. It was built in 1816. These people are sick bastards

Vibes for DR Elmore’s early rising (or all-nighter?) and trip to the hospital tomorrow. Take care of yourself, and here’s to a quick and solid recovery.

There was a peaceful demonstration along Ocean Ave. There were also gangs of looters in downtown Santa Monica, smashing windows and looting stores. According to one reporter on the scene, they were two completely separate groups. They smashed my favorite little pharmacy. Why?

Jeanne · « **Reply #117 on:** May 31, 2020, 07:46:56 PM »

There have been sirens all day long. A few fires downtown. As if the country didn't have enough problems.

Jeanne · « **Reply #118 on:** May 31, 2020, 07:47:40 PM »

MEGA VIBES to Larry for a smooth, successful surgery tomorrow and a comfortable recovery.

Vibes for John G's back. And the backs of all DRs for that matter.
