Fun facts about Eleanor Powell:
* Birth name: Eleanor Torrey Powell
* Took dancing classes as a child to overcome extreme shyness.
* With a preference toward ballet and acrobatics (notably her splits), she did not initially tap in her early career. In fact, she disliked the style which she considered lacking in grace. It was when she lost a number of musical roles in New York that she realized the need to learn. Due to her aerial style, she learned to tap by wearing army surplus belts with sandbags attached to ground herself.

Hello, new or prospective iPad owners!
This guide is meant to help movie-loving iPad owners get the most out of their movie watching on Apple's latest device.
As a loyal TCM viewer, I watch most movies at home, in a large screen. However, the extraordinary freedom of mobility offered by the iPad means that now we can watch movies in more places than ever before, when away from home, etc.
After a couple of days toying around with my iPad, here are a few helpful tips:
* Remember that you can't use flash applications with the iPad, so even though you may be able to surf the Web with the Safari browser, you won't be able to watch movies in sites like hulu.com.
* The best apps at the moment for watching movies are Apple's own iTunes store, where you can buy or rent movies, and the Netflix app for iPad, which allows Netflix subscribers to access the "Watch Instantly" streaming feature after logging in to their account.
* The iPad battery is supposed to last approximately 12 hours before it needs recharging.
* The iPad really isn't designed to be used under direct sunlight; not only would it be difficult to see the screen, but it can also very easily lead to the iPad overheating. Watching in a shaded spot is always ideal.
* The iPad models currently being sold must be used in WiFi spots. Towards the end of the month, Apple will start selling a model with 3G capability, using AT&T's 3G network. However you will not need a long-term contract; access to this can be purchased monthly whenever you need it.
Needless to say, watching a movie on a relatively small screen such as the iPad's may not be for everyone, but under the right circumstances it can be a great way to catch up with stuff you haven't had time to watch.

I should like to watch that one some day.
Just now I was watching the "Be a Clown" number from The Pirate - it's always a treat, what a shamefully underrated MGM musical, and from one of their best directors, too.
