One of the features included in that historic 1939 TV broadcast was a scene from the Broadway play Mamba’s Daughters by DuBose Heyward. Georgette Harvey, Ethel Waters, & Fredi Washington reprised their roles. Here they are at the Empire Theatre in a publicity shot for the play a few months earlier.

David Niven is priceless in #BluebeardsEighthWife! It’s one of my favorite roles for him. So funny! Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert, and Edward Everett Horton are all perfect as well, but David Niven steals the scenes he’s in, or at least most of them! #Lubitsch

That’s excellent news!! Hopefully the schedule is the accurate one, not the list. Thanks so much for letting me know!

The full title of Beston’s book is “The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod.” I just learned about it by searching for the above quote after seeing it in @maudkeen.bsky.social’s bio. Such beautiful words! Available to read free:

I was unable to watch, but here’s one of my old screenshots for comparison to whatever aspect ratio they aired. You’ll probably need to expand to see the full width. Not sure how it will display on here. #TheHelenMorganStory #TCMParty #RichardCarlson

I’m so sorry! Maybe we can trade coping tips later. 🫂

Richard Carlson turned down the lead male role in “Born Yesterday” for a supporting role in “Try and Get Me!” but William Holden was one of his best friends, so I don’t think he minded too much how much more successful that film was! (He was first choice for Golden Boy too, another Holden hit!)

🤣 Richard Carlson will be haunted with Hugh Marlowe confusion forever, I fear, unless I manage to get back to work and raise his profile! Then everyone will see his uniqueness and wonder how they ever got them mixed up. Like Jake & Elwood, I’m on a mission from God! 🕶️ 😁 @richardcarlson.bsky.social

If you’ve never listened to Charles Mingus, a good place to start is the first track, “II B.S.” on his 1964 album MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS MINGUS. This was a new, shorter version of his 1957 masterpiece “Haitian Fight Song.” Also has way more brass.

Yes, I remember we were sad about that omission! I love that film. It’s definitely one of my favorite performances of his too. He’s extraordinary with the multiple roles. It comes & goes on YouTube. I have a DVD with English subtitles from a Belmondo/Lelouch box set! #LesMisérables #JeanPaulBelmondo

I loved subbing in Special Ed, but I was pretty miserable subbing in other classes. The teachers rarely left me any lesson plans, and the classes were always over capacity. I didn’t last long! But I also tutored many subjects from elementary school to college and law school, and I loved all of that!
