Merry Christmas, everybody! And Happy Hanukkah! Hearst Castle Christmas Tour... I hope you all have a lovely holiday season with family and friends!

Last night's screening of "The Glass Menagerie" with Shirley Booth, Hal Holbrook, Barbara Loden, and Pat Hingle was exciting to watch. Such performances captured on tape made the screening even more exciting. Loden's Laura was fragile and vulnerable, and her romantic scene with Pat Hingle was lovely. Hal Holbrook was youthful intensity in his portrayal, and his subsequent years doing live performances of his one man show about Mark Twain is further evidence that Holbrook's stage characterizations were always an event to savor. Thank you, TCM, for such a treasure. Still waiting for a festival update........

Tonight, 'Based on Tennessee Williams' begins with Shirley Booth in "The Glass Menagerie" in a production previously considered unavailable.... http://www.playbill.com/article/long-lost-shirley-booth-glass-menagerie-being-broadcast-december-8

The Vitaphone Project's Ron Hutchinson will visit The Silver Screen Oasis website this weekend, December 3 & 4, for our popular Guest Star Q & A. If you have not registered on our website, which will allow you to post a question for Ron Hutchinson, all you need is a valid email address: http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3 TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz and The Vitaphone Project's Ron Hutchinson, who will be a TCM Guest Programmer on Monday, December 5. Hutchinson also introduced 7 Vitaphone shorts at the TCM Film Festival 2016 at the Egyptian Theatre on Saturday, April 30. Ron Hutchinson is a lifelong film buff and record collector who combined those passions into the founding of The Vitaphone Project in 1991. The Project seeks out missing 16-inch shellac soundtracks for 1926-30 disc-recorded talkie shorts and features, then works with archives, studios, and private collectors to get picture and disc re-married and restored. To date, the Vitaphone Project has located over 3500 soundtrack discs in private hands worldwide, and has partnered with Warner Brothers, UCLA, The Library of Congress and private funders to restore nearly 90 early vaudeville, comedy and band shorts and a dozen talkie features. Among the Project’s more exciting discoveries and restorations are the sole surviving (and badly cracked) disc for Al Jolson’s pre-JAZZ SINGER short A Plantation Act (1926) and restoration and the screening after 70 years of Baby Rose Marie, The Child Wonder (1929) with Rose Marie herself present to enjoy and critique her performance as a 7-year-old vaudevillian. Ron has assisted in the development and production of many documentaries featuring early sound material, including the PBS American Masters documentary VAUDEVILLE, TCM’s ADDED ATTRACTIONS: THE HOLLYWOOD SHORT SUBJECT, and The Women Of Tin Pan Alley. He frequently hosts Vitaphone and vaudeville film programs at New York’s Film Forum and Lincoln Center. Ron has also contributed to more than two dozen film books and written articles on the early sound era for Classic Images, Joslin’s Jazz Journal and Vaudeville Times, among many others. He edits the Project’s bi-annual newsletter, “Vitaphone News.” Ron lives in Piscataway, NJ with his wife Judy and two children. His real job is Corporate Environmental Health & Safety Officer for a major New York utility. From the TCM website: "90TH ANNIVERSARY OF VITAPHONE - 12/5 Vitaphone was a sound-film system developed by Bell Telephone Laboratories and Western Electric, and used by Warner Bros. and its sister studio First National to produce feature films and hundreds of short subjects during the 1920s and '30s. The original Vitaphone sound-on-disc system was retired early in the sound era when sound-on-film replaced the cumbersome discs. However, Warner Bros. kept the name alive through the Vitaphone Corporation, which was used through 1959 for releasing the studio's shorts and cartoons. TCM celebrates the 90th anniversary of Vitaphone with a 24-hour tribute offering a generous sampling of its output including the silent feature Don Juan (1926), which was introduced on August 6, 1926, with a symphonic musical score and sound effects. Another landmark Vitaphone production was the legendary The Jazz Singer (1927), the first full-length movie with synchronized dialogue. George Burns and Gracie Allen in Lamb Chops (1929) Some 20 of the Vitaphone shorts are new to TCM. These shorts were often employed to capture musical and vaudeville acts, and serve as a training ground for future stars. Among the latter were Bob Hope (Paree, Paree, 1934), James Stewart (Art Trouble, 1934), June Allyson (The All-Girl Revue, 1940) and Red Skelton (Seeing Red, 1939). Shorts featuring "Vitaphone Bands" include Johnny Green and His Orchestra (1935), Harry Reser and His Eskimos (1936) and Cab Calloway and His Orchestra (1937). Vaudeville routines captured on film include Blossom Seeley and Bennie Fields (1927), George Burns and Gracie Allen in Lambchops (1929) and Baby Rose Marie, the Child Wonder (1929)."

Here's a Sue Sue memory from the TCM Film Festival 2011 in honor of Patricio Guzman's documentaries, "The Battle of Chile: Part 1" and "The Battle Of Chile: Part 2" being screened tonight on TCM: "Dodging the hectic pace at the Hollywood Roosevelt one afternoon, I slipped away for a quiet lunch at Miceli's on Las Palmas. It had a typically old-world feel deep in the heart of the Turner Classic Movie Festival environs. I was seated on the first level at a table next to the corner booth, and I was so hungry that the smells of garlic bread and simmering sauces were assaulting my senses like mad. I had zoomed to the first screening and skipped breakfast. Lunch prices for pasta, salad, and a beverage are unbelievably reasonable and the fare at these prices didn't have to be sooooo tasty. The four gentleman seated at the next table were just finishing their lunch, and I noticed that they were speaking Spanish. The gentleman in the corner was definitely treated with reverence and also spoke Spanish with an accent not usually attributed to California or Texas. A young man, who introduced himself as Shannon Kelly, works with the UCLA Film and Television Archive, and he introduced Director Patricio Guzman to me. And of course I gushed and oohed and aahed. Evidently, Mr. Guzman was in LA for a retrospective of his films. The following excerpt is from the UCLA Film and Television Archives website concerning Patricio Guzman: “The only eternal lesson to be had is to study the past, so that we won’t repeat it.”— Patricio Guzmán. In a remarkable 40-year career, Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán has crafted a unique legacy among documentarians: cataloguing the cataclysmic modern events of his country in a body of work not only timely, but timeless. Influenced early on by the non-fiction work of Chris Marker, Frédéric Rossif and Louis Malle, Guzmán began his career in 1971, documenting the sweeping social and economic reforms enacted by Chile’s then-president, Salvador Allende, Latin America’s first democratically elected socialist head of state. In 1973, Allende’s government was brought down in a bloody coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power and Guzmán was forced to leave Chile for Europe where he completed The Battle of Chile, Parts 1-3 (1975-1979), a searing account of the Allende government’s final year. Guzmán has returned to the events of 1973 and their aftermath several times throughout his career while also expanding his field of inquiry to explore the very natures of cinema, history and memory. In his latest film, Nostalgia for the Light (2010), Guzmán orchestrates a dazzling meditation on the insistent presence of the past in all our lives. UCLA Film & Television Archive is pleased to present Nostalgia for the Light in a special preview screening on Friday, April 15 and to welcome Mr. Guzmán in person to the Billy Wilder Theater on Friday, April 29. Mr. Guzman is definitely one of those observant, quiet talents who seems to be continually scanning the environment and patiently sizing up those around him. Born in 1941 in Santiago, one of my favorite quotes from Guzman is that "we are not scientists, we are poets." Guzman also appeared at the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar. To read more about him on Independent Lens, follow this link: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/insideindies/infocus/flaherty/ He was very kind, and seemed genuinely pleased that I knew of his work. He gave me his autograph!" I'm loving the To Tell The Truth Programming initiative! Thank you, TCM programmers! Stay tuned: TCM Film Festival pass holders are sure to have updates coming soon!

Last day for the Q & A! Drop by to learn about fascinating Las Vegas history and its connection to classic film...

Currently the TCM Film Festival website indicates all Essential passes have been sold out. All other pass levels are available... https://festival.tcm.com/tcm/ Don't forget to visit the Silver Screen Oasis website for the Q & A with author and TCM Message Board member Lynn Zook about her new book, "Gambling On A Dream!" Here:http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=6969

"…But most of all, there was neon--everywhere." - Lynn Zook, Gambling on a Dream: The Classic Las Vegas Strip 1930-1955  They were all there once. Dreamers, drifters, scoundrels, and sweethearts--whether working the crowd or keeping the back of the house stocked, everyone--from cowboys, innkeepers, movie stars, working stiffs and lucky bums as well as rule-breaking architects and artists who painted the night sky using neon once gathered there and come alive again in the story of the Las Vegas strip during its first 25 years and beyond in a fascinating, very American intersection of show biz & commerce. The Silver Screen Oasis is pleased to announce that one of our own--Lynn Zook (aka lzcutter)--will be joining us for a Q & A about her new book, Gambling on a Dream: The Classic Las Vegas Strip 1930-1955 on November 12th and 13th. Our guest author was among the people who stood out a dozen years ago when first encountered online at the Turner Classic Movies forum. Gradually getting to know her online--and in person for a lucky few in attendance at the TCM Classic Film Festivals--has been revelatory. As an administrator at the SSO and a contributor to the TCM website, the knowledgeable Lynn has been consistently friendly, observant, and, fortunately for us when life (and technology) goes awry, she is also blessed with a wry humor tempered with a kindness and patience that has never flagged.  Lynn rarely talks about herself, but she is quite an accomplished person as well as a passionate lover of classic film. She is a graduate of the USC School of Cinema and Television Masters of Fine Arts program who is also a digital archivist, and an accomplished award-winning producer and editor. She is also the author of Las Vegas 1905-1965 and the just released e-book, Gambling on a Dream: The Classic Las Vegas Strip 1930-1955 as well as producer of the documentary, The Story of Classic Las Vegas. One subject Lynn does talk about is her love of her hometown and appreciation for the men and women who wrote this vivid chapter in American cultural life. As she does regularly on the Classic Las Vegas site, Lynn documents an earlier Las Vegas that hummed with neon as well as the work of imaginative pioneers, Americans on the move (and often on the make). Just as the movie industry was growing and changing, so did Las Vegas, affecting her residents and the country as a whole. If you would like to learn more about this topic, please join us for our journey with Lynn through a vivid chapter in American cultural life next weekend, November 12th and 13th. You can be part of the conversation at The Silver Screen Oasis Message Board below: The Q & A with Lynn Zook about Gambling on a Dream: http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=6969&p=164302#p164302 Gambling on a Dream: The Classic Las Vegas Strip 1930-1955 is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and iTunes. Author Lynn Zook has been to all the TCM Film Festivals and was a close personal friend to TCM Message Board Aficionado Kyle in Hollywood. It's This Weekend, Folks! Thanks to Moira Finnie/Moira12 for this lovely announcement. SUE SUE SEZ: All levels of passes for the TCM Film Festival are currently available on the TCM Film Festival website.

Enjoying the back story about the development of "The China Syndrome" that Jane Fonda just shared with Illeana Douglas. Amazing that Three Mile Island happened shortly after that film was released. Fonda shared that Ted Turner's opinion about nuclear power was swayed by the film. Up next: The Way We Were, The Thin Man, Joe, and Sounder... Sad to see this month of Trailblazing Women come to a close. But remember all the fabulously spooky Halloween-themed films coming up this weekend!

Those Trailblazing Women only have two more roundups! Dana Delany (picturd middle, left) visits with Illeana Douglas on Tuesday...She'll introduce "Wait Until Dark," "Giant," "Please Don't Eat The Daisies," and "The Tender Trap," focusing on Philanthropy. (Audrey Hepburn for Unicef, Elizabeth Taylor for her AIds charities, Doris Day for her efforts on behalf of pets and other animals, and Debbie Reynolds for her work with the Thalians and her decades-long guardianship of vast collections of costumes and other memorabilia.) "Dana Delany made her mark as Army nurse Colleen McMurphy on ABC-TV’s critically acclaimed series China Beach, for which she received two Emmy Awards and four nominations for Best Dramatic Actress. Delany is currently co-starring with Ron Perlman in the Amazon series drama Hand of God which returns for a second season in 2017. From 2011-2013, Delany starred as brilliant neurosurgeon turned medical examiner Dr. Megan Hunt in the ABC drama Body of Proof. Following her graduation from Wesleyan University, Dana, a Stamford, Connecticut native, went to New York where she honed her skills in daytime television and theatre. She starred on Broadway in “A Life” and received critical acclaim in a number of off-Broadway productions including Nicholas Kazan’s “Blood Moon” which led to her arrival in Los Angeles for the west coast production of the controversial drama. Opting to stay in Los Angeles after the run of the play, Dana was soon cast in many popular television shows including Moonlighting, and Magnum, P.I. Dana has appeared in numerous films including Tombstone, Housesitter, Fly Away Home, Exit to Eden, Light Sleeper, Moon Over Parador, Masquerade, Patty Hearst, Where the River Runs Black, Almost You, Route 30, A Beautiful Life, Multiple Sarcasms and Freelancers. For three seasons, Dana portrayed Katherine Mayfair on the acclaimed ABC series Desperate Housewives. She was also featured in a two-part episode arc on the ABC’s series Castle, where she portrayed Special Agent Jordan Shaw, an FBI profiler. Other television credits include: CBS’s Presidio Med, Fox’s Pasadena, and NBC’s Kidnapped opposite Timothy Hutton. Episodic work includes Family Law, for which she received an Emmy Award nomination for outstanding guest actress in a drama series and more recently FX’s The Comedians, opposite Billy Crystal. Television mini-series include: Shake, Rattle & Roll, True Women, and Wild Palms. Some of the movies for television in which Dana has starred include Resurrection and The Patron Saint of Liars, both directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal, For Hope, in which she played a woman suffering from Scleroderma, directed by Bob Saget, Lifetime’s Choices of the Heart: The Margaret Sanger Story, Showtime’s Sirens, Rescuers: Stories of Courage, and Conviction with Omar Epps, and The Right Temptation for HBO. Dana produced and starred in the ABC telefilm Final Jeopardy based on New York sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein’s novel. Last fall she appeared in the French mini-series Une Chance de Trop, based on Harlan Coben’s novel No Second Chance. Dana’s theatre credits include Translations, Much Ado About Nothing, opposite Billy Campbell at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, and the Pulitzer prize-winning play Dinner With Friends, alternating roles in New York, Los Angeles and Boston. In 2007, she appeared in Neil Labute’s Things We Said Today at the EST marathon in New York. In 2013, she starred in Beau Willimon’s The Parisian Woman at the South Coast Repertory. Since 1996, Dana has provided voice-over work as Lois Lane on the WB’s animated series Superman, The Batman/Superman Adventures, Justice League, and The Batman. Dana serves on the board of the Scleroderma Research Foundation, which seeks to find a cure for the chronic, degenerative disorder. With a strong belief in the importance of supporting writers who have a unique voice, Delany also serves on the boards of New York Stage and Film and the Ojai Playwrights Conference."
