This or That

Chapman. Even though the Radio Boys got more support from the Syndicate than the Girls.

Moon Mullins or Barney Google?

 

[vitanola]

Mullins.

Maria Ouspenskaya or Jane Darwell?

The REAL Pa from the Egg and I forward. Percy Kilbride. What a horrible end he met. Horrible. :eusa_doh:

On the Farm or In Hawaii?

 

[randooch]

On a farm on Hawaii.

Mango with lime juice, or papaya with passionfruit?

Easy papaya with passion fruit. The other one is too sour.

Ardbeg or Lagavulin?

Dewars

Ethel Shutta or Ann Pennington?

 

[WH1]

Dewars

Ethel Shutta or Ann Pennington?

assuming you mean Ann Pennington, Ziegfield Follies star (not Miss March, 1976) either way Go ANN!

Okay neither will win against Marilyn Monroe (Miss December, 1953) but Jayne Mansfield (Miss February, 1955 )or Betty Page (Miss January, 1955)? Sorry no pictures have to get your own.

Yes, both were star dancers and singers. Both for Zigfield. Here is Miss Pennington:

and Miss Shutta (Mrs. George Olson) in Zigfield's "Whoppee":

and Anna Held:

are more to my taste.

And for something completely different, Zelma O'Neal or Patsy Kelly?

And for something completely different, Zelma O'Neal or Patsy Kelly?

Gee, that's a hard one!

I prefer O'Neil's overall persona, and of course her singing voice, but Miss Kelly's sharp tounge and perfect timing give her the edge in my book.
She was featured in the first stage show that I was taken too at the tender age of ten, "No, No, Nanette".



Shaw and Lee or Gallagher and Shean?

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Gallagher and Shean

Dewars

Ethel Shutta or Ann Pennington?

Dewars?! :faint:

 

[vitanola]

Dewars?! :faint:

I'm an engineer.[huh]

It's pleasant enough. I know that it has no cachet, but I LIKE IT.

I even like Grand Macnish.


Makes a fine Rob Roy, particularly with Heublein's Vermouth and Fee's bitters.



"Dumb Dora" or "Somebody's Stenog"?

 

[LizzieMaine]

I thought the art in "Stenog" was just too odd, so let's go with Dora. Plus she endorsed Shredded Ralston.

Shredded Ralston or Wheat Chex?

Shredded Ralston or Wheat Chex?

Shredded Ralston, though I actually prefer the Niagra Falls version, the full-sized Nabisco hay bales.

Philco or Zenith?

"Dumb Dora" or "Somebody's Stenog"?

I don't care about cachet. I hate when they blend perfectly good Alberfeldy to make the blends that are inferior to the single malt.:eusa_doh: DeWars has done some very wierd things lately as well---less quality more quantity. :eusa_doh:

 

[LizzieMaine]

Philco or Zenith?

Philco, no question. Zeniths look pretty but those under-engineered power transformers and those 6X4 rectifiers will get you sooner or later, and then "poof."

3L-4N dialing or 2L-5N dialing?
