    Advice on how to be a director from the 1920's

    In "The Buster Keaton Story," Peter Lorre (as an early sound director) says "Interlock and roll 'em..." I suppose the "interlock" has to do with picture+sound. Anyone else run onto that phrase anywhere?

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    The first time I heard (on an L.A. radio station) that there was going to be a big soccer game "at the Home Depot Center in Carson" I wondered if they had set up bleachers out front, by the Nursery area and the drive-thru lumber pick-up... or out back, where you always see the forklifts and...

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    Is it possible Anaheim must be somewhere in the team name, to satisfy a condition of the deal with the city for the stadium? Maybe I read that... The TEAM has naming rights, to call Anaheim's venue Angels Stadium. As a kid I called it that anyway.

    Vintage for the over 40 crowd

    Hmmm the catalog figures of mature women are only seven or eight heads high, instead of nine or ten! (A quick estimate.)

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    The American League franchise awarded in California for 1961 was the Los Angeles Angels, and they played in that city for five years. Upon moving to Anaheim in 1966, they chose to be called the California Angels, and that's how I first knew them. They have every right to change, but I hate the...

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    A "Union Station" is a depot co-owned by two or more railroads. Phoenix had a Union Station, for Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. L.A.'s Union Station just happened to have Union Pacific as one of the three partners. (In other cases, a railroad using a station may be a mere tenant of the owning...

    Vintage for the over 40 crowd

    I will just say I'd rather see a lady of a certain age looking like one of W.C. Fields' movie wives, than in a Flapper costume from Halloween Club. Yeah I know, that isn't an answer to your question...

    Bow Ties

    Another brand has turned up in a Burlington-- " ubc "... I think that's a modern, urban line of things to wear. They come in various two-color patterns-- for instance, houndstooth. But the "other side" is solid (one of the two colors of the pattern.) Some, but not all, of the colors are a...

    Lee Remick in Anatomy of a Murder (1959)

    Lee Remick's face changed very little from her mid-twenties to her early 40s. But... she died before she reached 50.

    Dressing for ‘Gilligan’s Island’

    There were a lot of sexy roles for Tina Louise before and after G.I., which showed up on TV frequently. Dawn Wells had what? "Legend of Boggy Creek" and "Winterhawk." I didn't appreciate Dawn until one of the reunion movies, where Gilligan is required to tie her to a mast in order to weather...

    Bow Ties

    My mom reminds me that my father hated wearing long sleeves, so he'd go to his office job in short sleeves and long tie. If the bosses might be looking, he kept his jacket on! I've seen so many old photos of short sleeves+bow tie, that I don't think anything of it. Of course, an agent in a...

    Soon after seeing Janet Klein and Ian Whitcomb for the first time, my sister said she had sent for a banjolele. I've never heard any more about it...

    Ukulele

    That was noT JUST A lady, that was Janet Klein. Some ukesters thought the lesson was a bit confusing for beginners (from what I read somewhere) but the whole thing is certainly inspirational! As for Janet's straight-through performance of "Tonight You Belong to Me," on her web site she has the...
