You may notice that there are more copies of the British pressing listed there than the U.S. RCA 45. That is because the record was an even bigger hit in England than it was in The States (perhaps surprising for a song about American states).

> {quote:title=VP19 wrote: > }{quote}I can see where you're coming from, but TCM is doing two nights a week on the topic, and I doubt it could truly fit any more. And I'd rather have two films from each of 18 actresses than four films from nine (whom do you leave out?). Virtually all of the 18 have been or will be honored by TCM in other capacities, so it's not as if they won't show up again. I'd have liked it if, instead of showing multiple titles by the same expected blondes (Monroe, Harlow, Dietrich, etc.) they'd have included at least one movie from some of the lesser-knowns (and admittedly personal faves of mine) such as Alice White, Anny Ondra, and so many others.

You do great work and it's nice to hear from you here. A question: Regarding the four Laurel & Hardy silent shorts scheduled on TCM next Sunday night: two of them already have music scores (HABEAS CORPUS and ANGORA LOVE) from the original discs. Are they going to be shown that way, or have you created new scores for them along with the ones that had no original scores?

> {quote:title=allaboutlana wrote: > }{quote}Vera Marshe?? Since I placed an incorrect guess, I hope Metz won't mind if I make a comment: Yes, that's Vera Marshe. I KNEW I had that picture somewhere. I'm not completely sure if it is the original source for the photo, but the caption on it says it's promoting a play she was in called "Good Men and True" dated Oct. 25, 1935.

> {quote:title=metz44 wrote:}{quote} > answer to yr post,,,the death wish with lugosi "the death wish" - I think you mean The Death Kiss.

Did anyone notice this coincidence in the movie EMMA (1932): The character "Gypsy" is played by Barbara Kent and as a girl by Edith Fellows. Coincidence is that both of those actresses have very recently passed away: Barbara Kent on Oct. 10 and Edith Fellows on June 26.

> {quote:title=misswonderly wrote: > }{quote}Wow, musicalnovelty, you are definitely a hard core Beatles fan. You'll have to attend the TCM message board members' party being planned in Hot Topics. > > Yes, Across the Universe was recorded about a year before the "Let it Be" sessions, along with Lady Madonna, Hey Bulldog, and another one that slips my mind at the moment. The original was at a slightly different speed and has bird song in it. They took the same track for "Let it Be" - they did not re-record it, but they deleted the bird song and altered the speed a little. > Of course more information in detail is provided in musicalnovelty's link. Thanks, mn ! > Whatever - it's one of the most beautiful songs ever. And if ValentineX wants to blur it together with Somewhere Over the Rainbow, who am I to argue? I can kind of see what he means- or rather, hear it. About the message board party: I've already posted a couple times on there. And when someone brought up what music should be played, I thought you and I should agree on that, judging by our YouTube posts here. Being a long-time Beatles collector, many years ago I found a copy of the LP on which the original recording of "Across the Universe" appeared, a various artists benefit album called "No One's Gonna Change Our World", released in 1969. It's an album I don't see around much. Wonder what it's worth? It's a cool collector's item, I think. And it not only contains the rare Beatles song, but a Hollies rarity, "Wings" that appeared nowhere else.

It was not on any of the Anthology collections, nor is it from the Tony Sheridan period.

I know I've seen this photo before somewhere but I'm not recallin' where right now... Is this a young Betty Grable?

Now, here's some more Beatles trivia: Where in their recording output can we find the song "Please Don't Bring Your Banjo Back"?

> {quote:title=misswonderly wrote: > }{quote}More Beatles' trivia..this one is really low-hanging fruit: when was Across the Universe recorded? There actually were a few different takes & versions of that song. But the date you're thinking of is probably Feb. 4, 1968. Here's a listing of Beatles songs recording dates: http://mysite.verizon.net/lbalders/beatles.htm The Wikipedia entry for "Across the Universe" has a chart giving recording data on each version of the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Across_the_Universe

The 1936 MGM one-reel short HOLLYWOOD EXTRA! starring Jane Barnes is coming up Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 11:48 P.M. (eastern time) after the feature THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC. Search back to the start of this thread for more info on this interesting short.

Nice lobby card with nice image of Sally O. Thanks for posting it!

> {quote:title=gagman66 wrote: > }{quote}Here is another pic of Sally O'Neil I worked on around 2 years ago. That's Sally in a pose from the 1929 Columbia picture BROADWAY SCANDALS.

> {quote:title=milkshakesmania wrote: > }{quote}The eyes on Sally O'Neil look like she was punched in the back of the head, they fell out, and she pushed them back in. Another case of *ZOMBIE EYES*! Yes, Sally O'Neil has very beautiful eyes and I'll bet we could really appreciate them in the original black & white still. (And I must say, if Sally became a zombie and came after me, I wouldn't try too hard to get away!)

Everyone who loves Laurel & Hardy and the product of The Hal Roach Studios and is interested in how the films have been treated (and mistreated) over the years, this is essential reading: http://www.laurel-and-hardy.com/archive/articles/2011-04-ucla/ucla-1.html Put aside a few minutes...it is long, but every word is fascinating reading.

> {quote:title=gagman66 wrote: > }{quote}Not very nice comments....Your monitor settings must be way off. Or maybe you have had one to many Milkshakes? Vilma's eyes don't glow on my monitor either. In the first place you can only see one eye, and just barely. Milkshakesmania has a point. Often these colorized pictures have bizarre unnatural glowing eyes. A lot of us would like it if every time one of these colorized stills is posted, the black & white original is also posted.
