No DANCING LADY?

That's Suzan Ball, a cousin of Lucy.

She's always been one of my favorties: Diana Barrymore.
Two of her best were BETWEEN US GIRLS (1942) a delightful comedy similar to THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR, but which came out first (just barely) but is almost never mentioned anymore while the Ginger Rogers film is the one everyone remembers.
Also NIGHTMARE (1942) a very good WW2 spy drama showed Diana did have some acting talent instead of being just a famous name.
If her main six movies were not Universal Pictures maybe we'd be seeing them regularly on TCM and she'd be better known and appreciated.

Not sure about A BILL OF DIVORCEMENT, but I have heard that concerning CEILING ZERO, there is a rights problem that's currently preventing it from being shown or released.

I'm sure you're thinking of the "Popular Science" and "Unusual Occupations" shorts. They were filmed in color and released by Paramount from the mid-1930's through the late 1940's.
Here's info on them:

Okay, next question:
The Glenn Miller movies were recently mentioned in another thread. ORCHESTRA WIVES (1942) is good fun - good cast, great music, okay plot on which to hang all the music. One of my favorite songs by Glenn & the band in that movie is one that they never recorded for a commercial record release at the time, or ever.
Which was it?

metz,
It's been mailed...watch for it.
I'm sure you'll find the films worth waiting for.

Sorry, I missed Ben's intro this time. Maybe someone else will let us know what was said.

That's the song by Dorothy Provine in the "out west" part of the 1965 movie THE GREAT RACE.

Turned out to be the sound version again.

Yes, but not only that, they were all in the same place on their cheek.
It's not always visible on Carole Lombard's face, in fact I'm sure they tried to cover it up, but recently I got to see a few of her movies in beautiful restored 35mm "on the big screen" and in some close-ups the scar was visible.
So, that's what made me think of this as a trivia question.
Now, back to the regular format of four movies...

>Sun, Sept 1...short, THE DEVIL'S CABARET (1930) with Charles "Ming the Merciless" Middleton himself!!
Gotta dig it!!!
==========================
Another groovy thing about the short THE DEVIL'S CABARET is the young Mary Carlisle, still with us today at age 101.

No, not that.
I'll give a clue that could give it away right away...
It's something to do with their appearance.

That guy sure was busy! Seen him in hundreds of movies!
John Ridgely, he is.

Charley Chase short NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE (1936) is scheduled on TCM on Saturday morning, August 31, 2013.

How about a twist:
It won't be four, and it won't be films.
Name something Carole Lombard, Gene Kelly and Curly Howard all have in common.

>Is Boomchakkalakkalakka!!! related to Steppenwolf's "'Earschplittenloudenboomer"?
==========================
I believe Mark's word comes from the 1969 Sly & The Family Stone hit "I Want To Take You Higher".
-
>FredCDobbs and I have to start a campaign for a Noel Francis day (even better a whole month) on TCM!
========================
I'll vote for that too!
-
Not sure if this is it for all four, but I think at least two have skiing scenes.
-
The opening titles music to the movie DINNER AT EIGHT is actually a medley of five different tunes, but I'm sure the one you're asking about is the 1929 German hit song "I Kiss Your Hand Madame" (music by Ralph Erwin).

Did you know that Bambi has a Ginny connection? And no, it isn't this one.
====================================
Oh Dear!
I have an original of that still! (Number F23, P849-24) from FRECKLES (1935).
By the way, I saw the friend who has the print of FRECKLES (quite possible the only known print) last week (and also in early June...which was nice - as he lives in the midwest and I'm in Massachusetts!) He still has the print, but unfortunately is still unable to do anything with it due to the rights tangles that affect just about EVERY film based on the writings of the author of the story FRECKLES.

MN, Thanks for the tip, I'll correct it quickly. Any idea who it is?
That was orginally posted as her on threestooges.net and is supposed to be from LOVE IS A HEADACHE. LIAH gets mentioned on that site because Healy was in it.
http://www.threestooges.net/cast/actor/1687
============================
Not sure who that actress is. I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but if I can find my copy I'll take a look and see if I can figure out who she is. The researchers on the threestooges.net site are very good (even if I am sometimes one of them!) so I'm surprised that picture of June was not correct. Although it is a later film for her, I doubt she'd have changed in appearance that much from her peak film period of 1933 - 1935. But I suppse it's possible. Another thing about June Brewster (and one of the things that attracted me to her in the first place years ago) is her distinctive voice. So if that actress in LOVE IS A HEADACHE has any lines, that will be a clue.
DECEMBER SCHEDULE IS UP!

>It Started With Eve is a great Charles Laughton comedy, I've been waiting to see this one again for a long time. He and Deanna Durbin worked well together, Robert Cummings was pretty good as well.
Delightful movie! Highly recommended.
