"BURGLARY IS GRAVE CRIME, COURT WARNS," Hamilton Spectator. April 20, 1934. Page 7 & 10. --- Three Young Men Are Given Reformatory Terms By Magistrate ---- Reginald Farnham Goes to Penitentiary - Record Against Him ---- "Burglary is in the same class as forgery in the opinion of parliament, as a maximum of life imprisonment is prescribed," commented Magistrate H. A. Burbidge in magistrate's court to-day, when Ed- ward Fletcher, Edward Pritchard and Robert Godfrey came up for sentence on burglary charges.

"We have never given suspended sentence for forgery, and I do not think that suspended sentence should be granted in burglary cases, either," continued the magistrate. "In these cases, however, I think the reformatory is the proper place for these young men, so that a certain amount of supervision may be given when they are freed. Fletcher faces only one charge, so he is sentenced to three months definite, to be followed by nine months indeterminate in the Ontario reformatory. The other two are each sentenced to six months determinate, to be followed by 12 months indeterminate on each of the four charges, the terms to run concurrently."

The magistrate pointed out that burglary was a most serious of fence because in addition to the offence against property there was also a danger of an offence against human life.

Crown Attorney George W. Ballard stated that the three young men had shown a reckless disregard for property rights. They had destroyed a quantity of jewellery which probably had a sentimental value far above its intrinsic value.

Tufgar Sentenced Appearing for sentence on five charges of false pretences, Dawson Tufgar was sentenced to six months definite, to be followed by six months indeterminate, in the Ontario reformatory on each charge. the terms to run concurrently and to date from the time of his arrest. Three of the charges were in connection with offences in Hamilton, while the other two were ere for of- fences committed in Lincoln county. Wilfred Hobson appeared for the defence.

Pleading guilty to a charge of burglary, Reginald Farnham, aged 22 years, 17 Gordon street, was sentenced to two years in Kingston penitentiary. He was said to have entered an apartment and to have stolen a Hudson seal coat, two clocks, some powder, some brilliantines and a manicure set. He was arrested when it was reported to the detective department that a man was trying to dispose of a fur coat on Ottawa street. All the goods except the cosmetics were recovered, it was stated. Farnham's previous record was against him, and Crown Attorney Ballard moved for immediate sentence,

Much Chastened. Looking much chastened after spending two days in jail, George Haslam and Albert Irwin appeared for sentence to-day. Irwin was charged with assaulting a police charged officer, while Haslam was charged with obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duty.

"They have seen the inside of a jail and have sampled the menu. I do not think there will be any further trouble with them." submitted Harry F. Hazell, defending.

"It was just a case of Irwin trying to be a 'tough guy," said Crown Attorney Ballard.

Both young men were allowed to go on suspended sentence.

"What you should have done was to have called the deal off. Instead, you committed a theft with force," said Magistrate Burbidge to Walter Austin. Picton street west, as he registered convictions on charges of theft and assault: I don't believe your story, but I do think you believe it yourself." Austin was remanded for sentence until Wednesday.

He was said to have made a deal for a used auto body and then to have taken it away without paying $10, claimed by Harry Katz as the balance over and above the turn-in- value of a tire and some plate glass.

"He bit me on the lip and the doctor gave me some stuff to prevent poison," said Robert Roth, complainant in the assault charge. "He also hit me in the face."

An assault charge preferred against Donald Shaw, Niagara street, by Lawrence VanAllen was dismissed when the magistrate held that the matter had been an affray and both should have been charged.

Appearing for sentence on a charge of breach of recognizances, Leslie Bradt was sentenced to three months definite plus nine. months indefinite in the Ontario reformatory, the term to run concurrently with one of three months imposed in St. Catharines.

A charge of breach of the Health act against Rose Littner was with drawn when Assistant City Solicitor James B. Chambers told the magistrate that she had complied with the instructions of the health department.

Sat on Doorstep Pleading guilty to a vagrancy charge, James Taggart, men's hostel, King street west, who, was found sitting in a door way at an early hour this morning by Constable Hudson, attired only in underwear and trousers, was remanded a week for sentence and a psychiatric examination was ordered.

A charge of indecent assault against Walter Swain, 139 Home- wood avenue, was laid over until Tuesday. Stuart Smith appeared for the defence.

Having arranged matters and made his peace with the architects' organization, Henry Gilbert was allowed to go on suspended sentence on a charge of breach of the Architects act. Sentence was deferred some weeks ago in order that this could be done.

Still waiting to be sent to the road camps, Charles Piros was again remanded for a week on a vagrancy charge.

A charge of obtaining city relief by false pretences against Violet Streeter was dismissed. J. J. Sullivan defended.

When the jail physician upheld his story that he suffered from a heart condition, James McKay was acquitted in a drunk charge.

Having received a spanking for his part in the affair, Matteo Massi was placed on suspended sentence for three years on five charges of receiving stolen goods arising out of the theft of a number of bicycles.

When it was stated that the accused was ill in bed, a charge of breach of the Theaters: act against Anthony Patzalak, 49 Leinster avenue, was laid over for a week.

Judgment was reserved for a week in the case of Albert Marck, Grand Opera house, charged with having other than an approved panic bolt on an exit doorway of the theatre during a performance and with failing to have lighted an exit stairway from the balcony of the house.

[Farnham was 22, married, from Hamilton, with tattoo marks on his upper arm (a dagger marked Dusty) and a Girl's Head on his left forearm. He was a bell-hop. He had previously been in Burwash and Guelph. He was convict #3422 at Kingston Penitentiary. He was transferred July 1934 to Collin's Bay, as inmate #752, and was released October 1935. He would be back in mid-1936 on a new charge.]

LUCY AND FLIP GO LEGIT

S4;E1 ~ September 13, 1971

Directed by Coby Ruskin ~ Written by Bob Carroll and Madelyn Davis

Synopsis

Lucy takes a temp assignment with Flip Wilson in order to answer his fan mail. When she is caught sneaking into Wilson's office to ask him a favor, she gets caught and fired.  The favor is to appear  in a community theatre production of Gone With The Wind – as Prissy.  

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter)  

Guest Cast

Flip Wilson (Himself) was born in Jersey City, New Jersey as Clerow Wilson Jr. in 1933.  He was a comedian and actor, best known for his television appearances during the late 1960s and 1970s. In the early 1970s, Wilson hosted his own weekly variety series, “The Flip Wilson Show.” The series earned Wilson a Golden Globe and two Emmy Awards, and at one point was the second highest rated show on network television.  Wilson also won a Grammy Award in 1970 for his comedy album “The Devil Made Me Buy This Dress.” In January 1972, Time magazine featured Wilson's image on its cover and named him "TV's first black superstar." According to The New York Times, Wilson was "the first black entertainer to be the host of a successful weekly variety show on network television.”  Wilson had met Lucille Ball a year earlier on a Los Angeles broadcast of “The Tonight Show” as well as an episode of “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Perhaps Wilson's greatest creation was the sassy Geraldine Jones, whose catch phrase was “The devil made me do it!”  Wilson died in 1998.  

Kim Hamilton (Jane, Flip Wilson's Secretary) did more than 60 television shows and films during the 1960s and ‘70s alone.  She was in the film To Kill a Mockingbird in 1962.  She made two appearances on “My Three Sons” in 1963 and 1964 – both featuring William Frawley (Fred Mertz). Hamilton has the distinction of being the first Black actress to appear on TV's “Days of Our Lives.” She also was seen on the soaps “The Guiding Light” and “General Hospital.” Hamilton died in 2013 at age 81.  

The secretary's first name is never spoken aloud.  Hamilton provides the DVD introduction to the episode. 

Starting with this episode, Coby Ruskin, who had directed two previous episodes, becomes the regular director of “Here's Lucy” and will direct nearly all (65) future episodes.

20 years earlier, when "I Love Lucy" began, the word 'pregnant' could not be said on television, but is spoken freely in this 1971 episode parody of 1860's Civil War era -- an ironic comment on American censorship.

This is the first episode of season 4 and the first without Desi Arnaz Jr. as a regular cast member.  Despite being the season premiere, Craig's absence is not explained. Later in the season we learn that that Craig is off at college.

Starting with season 4, “Here's Lucy” switches production studios from Paramount to Universal.  

Starting with this episode, “Here's Lucy” aired one hour later (still on Monday nights) and was no longer in competition with “Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.” The show's new lead-in was “My Three Sons” starring Fred MacMurray, entering its 12th season on CBS.

This episode also introduces a re-orchestrated and slightly faster theme song. With the departure of her brother from the cast, Lucie Arnaz now has a title screen to herself in the opening credits.  

This episode was first aired on Mel Torme's 51st birthday.  Torme played the role of Mel Tinker on several episodes of “The Lucy Show.” 

Bob Carroll, Jr. and Madelyn Davis return to the series’ rotation of writers and the show is given a tremendous boost. Not only is logic reintroduced into the storylines, but the relationships between Lucy and her co-stars become more natural; Harry and Lucy begin to show each other more affection; and Kim is allowed to mature out of the typical teen stereotype. Unfortunately, the pair only contributes a little over one-third of the Season Four scripts.

Although it is never explicitly stated, Flip Wilson and his office are preparing for his weekly television variety show.  

Between the The Three Musketeers and Gone With the Wind, Flip Wilson spends the entire episode in costumes.  The Three Musketeers is a historical novel by Alexandre Dumas. Set in 1625–28, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. Although d'Artagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he befriends the three most formidable musketeers of the age—Athos, Porthos and Aramis—and gets involved in affairs of the state and court. The novel was filmed and staged dozens of times, with the most famous being a 1943 film starring Gene Kelly.  A 1935 version featured Lucille Ball in a small, uncredited role.  

For the small screen version Flip is rehearsing Rock Hudson is Anthos, Andy Williams is Porthos, Flip says he is the ‘token’ musketeer. Actually, he would be Aramis.  Hudson had appeared on a 1955 episode of “I Love Lucy.”  To make Lucy prove she is not Andy Williams, she sings the first three notes of “Moon River,” a song that became Williams' theme tune.  

On the telephone, Jane talks to someone named Mr. Rayfiel about taking some paperwork to mimeo.  Howard Rayfiel was a Production Executive for “Here's Lucy” from 1970 to 1972.  

When Lucy returns to Wilson's office in disguise as a Musketeer, Wilson thinks Lucy wants another autograph for trading purposes: two Flip Wilsons for one Bill Cosby.  Bill Cosby was another African American comedian who had great success in the late 1960's and 1970's.  

There is a record album standing up on the desk titled “The Devil Made Me Wear this Dress” by Geraldine Jones. This Flip Wilson comedy album was sold in 1970 and won a Grammy Award in the comedy category.   

Gone with the Wind was a historical novel written by Margaret Mitchell in 1936 but set in the deep south during the Civil War. The book was translated into one of the most famous films of all time in 1939 starring Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and Vivian Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara. 

Prissy was played by Butterfly McQueen and Melanie was played by Olivia de Havilland. 

Like most of the top actors in Hollywood, Lucille Ball had an audition for the role of Scarlett O'Hara. Although Lucille Ball did not get cast, actors who did get roles in the film and later worked with Lucille Ball included: George Reeves (Superman, ILL), Olin Howland (Mr. Skinner, ILL), Irving Bacon (Mr. Potter, ILL), Shep Houghton (HL), Alberto Morin (ILL), and Hans Moebus (ILL & TLS).

Harry has joined Encino Players, a little theatre troupe that has cast him as Rhett Butler in a capsule stage version of Gone With The Wind. As the curtain goes up, the soundtrack plays the sweeping and iconic “Tara's Theme” from the film, which was written by Max Steiner.

Under her cape Prissy has on an Abraham Lincoln t-shirt.  When Scarlet asks if that's a photograph of President Lincoln, Prissy replies “Well, it ain't Ray Charles!”  Ray Charles was a singer-songwriter who had great success during the 1960s. While he was with ABC, Charles became one of the first black musicians to be granted artistic control by a mainstream record company.

In return for appearing on “Here's Lucy,” Lucille Ball appeared on “Flip” (aka “The Flip Wilson Show”) in an episode that aired just three days after this "Here’s Lucy.”   

Lucille Ball's protege Carol Burnett, who appeared frequently on “The Lucy Show” and “Here's Lucy,” did a famous parody of Gone With The Wind in November 1976.  In the sketch titled “It Went with the Wind,” Carol played Starlet, Harvey Korman played Ratt Butler, Vicky Lawrence played Sissy, and Tim Conway played Brashley.  Not coincidentally, earlier in the month the film was shown for the first time on television.  

The dress worn by Lucille Ball in the Gone with the Wind sketch was previously worn by her in episode “Lucy and Arthur Godfrey (TLS S3;E23). It also appeared briefly during previous year in "Lucy and  Carol Burnett" (S3;E22).

In “Lucy Writes a Novel” (ILL S3;E24) Lucy Ricardo says “My novel may turn out to be another ‘Gone with the Wind’!“  She compares Ricky to Rhett Butler and herself to Scarlett O'Hara. 

Lucille Ball not only got to play the role that went to Vivian Leigh, but she also played Clark Gable (wearing a mask) during “Lucy Meets Harpo Marx” (ILL S4;E28) to convince near-sighted Carolyn Appleby that she hobnobbed with celebrities.

Kim Carter had a poster of Clark Gable on her bedroom wall in “Lucy and the Andrews Sisters” (S2;E6).

It: Chapter One

Disclaimer: Views are mine. Date and Year of Release: September 8, 2017 Cast: Bill Skarsgård, Jaeden Lieberher, Jackson Robert Scott, Sophia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Hamilton, Jack Dylan Grazer, Jeremy Ray Taylor, and Wyatt Oleff. Director: Andy Muschietti Running Time: 135 minutes I had been waiting for this film ever since the first rumors and the eventual proof of the remake were splashed across media. What got me intrigued: (i) it was based on a Stephen King (Master of Horror) story and (ii) the casting of Bill Skaarsgaard as the eponymous Pennywise, the Dancing Clown. He is the member of the famed (and rightly so) Skaarsgaard acting dynasty, and got the acting chops (for reference check: TV series Hemlock Grove where he acted as the soulful and brooding outsider-vampire Roman Godfrey, unaware of his true lineage; the Swedish films- Simple Simon which is one of the best films on autism; and Simon and the Oaks where he is a working class boy trying to find his way at the peak of World War II). As a kid, I watched Tim Curry’s sadistic take on Pennywise, and it had quite the impact on me. Particularly, it shaped how I viewed clowns. I am not afraid of clowns, but am no fan either. Earlier, I used to be excited whenever a circus would wind up in my sleepy little beautiful town. Watching the antics of the clowns would leave me in splits. But Tim Curry changed that perception. If one goes by numbers, a large number of people in the USA suffer from Coulrophobia, and the media has only worked to sustain this fear of clowns. Recently, the creators- Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk of another favourite TV show, American Horror Story has received flak for depiction of the scary clown in the form of Twisty, the Clown in Season 5 titled Freak Show. But, in their defense, I would say that Twisty is a take on the notorious American serial killer John Wayne Gacy aka “Killer Clown” (who killed at least 33 boys in the 1970’s and who dressed as Pogo, the clown at charity events and children’s parties. He was also viewed as an upstanding member of his society). Watching the 2017 version made me remember my own experience of watching the Tim Curry version, Twisty, and my fascination with serial killers from a psychological stand point. From the go, the film set the pace right. Beginning with a moody piano at the background, the film starts with the Denbrough siblings and the pitter patter raindrops. Set in 1988, elder brother Bill makes a paper-boat for his younger brother Georgie, who proceeds to set it sail. He runs after it as it moves ahead. This sets sail the eventual unleashing of horror as the boat accidentally gets inside the sewer and we get to see the macabre Pennywise charming Georgie before eventually taking him, and worming his way in the fictional town of Derry in Maine beginning his terror on Bill and his gang of losers in 1989. Pennywise is ‘it’ and ‘it’ takes the form of Pennywise- a shapeshifter, assuming the form of individual fears of each of the children, and a trans-dimensional entity feeding on ‘fear’. Each of the children see it in the form of what they fear the most. To know what their individual fears are one has to watch the movie. The movie climaxes as the children unite to battle the demon, who promises to rise again. I had gone to watch this film alone and even though I was surrounded by girls, we collectively shuddered at every twist. This film comes at an interesting time. I say this because we live in a time where fear grips our imagination. Donald Trump in the USA is only the tip of the iceberg. Every nation now employs fear as a tactic to keep the citizens under its rule. I say fear in the context of politics and the theme of the film. Pennywise strikes when no one looks or says a word against it. The residents of Derry are aware that children are disappearing and yet pretend otherwise. The residents are also aware that these disappearances happen every 27 years. At the end it is upon the gang of “losers” to fight the demon by standing against it united and telling it, on its face, that they are unafraid of it. The central theme of this film is not Pennywise, but fear which sets the moody ambience. Of course, one has to take note of who has directed the film- Andy Muschietti (of another horror film, Mama fame). Mama had its obvious flaws, but that film too dealt with the horror of fear and what it makes one do. In the case of Mama, it was the fear of losing children, and how a Mother’s love lives on even in a supernatural dimension. I wonder if he is the Jim Jarmusch of the horror genre. Jim Jarmusch is known for his depiction of moody antiheroes (Dead Man, Only Lovers Left Alive). Andy Muschietti’s supernatural beings are not monsters themselves, but a reflection of monstrosity we see in day-to-day life. I would place him next to Guillermo del Toro’s humanizing take on monsters (The Orphanage, The Devil’s Backbone, Crimson Peak and the TV series, Strain based on the books he himself wrote). Similar to Toro’s demons, Andy too depicts ‘It’ as more human than humans themselves. Pennywise only attempts to reflect. Kudos to Andy for giving us a masterpiece. Next, I am not disappointed with Bill Skaarsgaard who takes on this challenging role with an intensity, charisma and madness that Tim Curry so generously gave to his version of Pennywise. Unlike Tim Curry though, Bill is sinister. Just like fear is. Fear is sinister and makes one commit the sinister. And what a performance. I remembered his role of Roman Godfrey in each frame. In the Netflix horror series, Bill portrayed a vampire with grace. He portrayed Pennywise with the same grace, that actors don’t often portray as titular monsters. I am sure many critics will say that he has the Skaarsgaard name, but no. His siblings and parents have made a name for themselves, and he stands out with this role of a lifetime. Interestingly, his elder brother Alexander Skaaarsgaard portrayed the character of the vampire Eric in True Blood and that had a charm, unique to Alexander. I think I will wait for Bill’s work in the years to come. And yes, the right choice for Pennywise, considering that another heavy weight Tilda Swinton was also considered for this role. Bill was considered for his build as one of the producers noted him being tall and lanky and a bit clown-like in his mannerisms, and for bringing his own take on how Pennywise should be. Further, the casting is perfect. Finn Wolfhard as Richie (of Stranger Things fame) is the adorable extroverted nerd; Jaeden Lieberher as Bill, the elder brother with a speech impediment; Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben, the new kid in town bullied for being overweight; Sophia Lillis as Beverly, another new kid who is slut shamed for simply not fitting in; Wyatt Oleff as Stan, the Jewish kid at odds with his religious beliefs and his own coming of age pragmatism; Chosen Jacobs as Mike, the African American whose parents death haunts him; and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie who struggles with being a hypochondriac. They form the Losers Club- a gang who do not fit in. Opposed to this club, is the gang of violent troublemakers led by Henry Bowers (played by Nicholas Hamilton to perfection) that bullies the Losers. What an amazing performance by each one of the kids. I love watching children act precisely because it can come from a place of innocence and coming of age. Needless to say, in an environment where elders in Derry do not check bullying because often, they are bullies themselves, ‘It’ manifests. The actor who steals the show for me; however, is Jackson Robert Scott who so innocently portrayed the character of 7 year old Georgie, and later turns malevolent (for reference: the sink scene in the Basement scene). Next, themes in the film stands out- it remains true to Stephen King’s themes of anti-bullying, anti-fear, pro-acceptance and pro-outsiders. (Carrie, Misery, The Shining). That it is okay to be what you want to be. The remake celebrates these in the form of Pennywise. Finally, the soundtrack by Benjamin Wallfisch is brilliant and sets the tone of the film. There is something visceral about children singing in horror films. It is spine tingling, because it pits the innocence of children against the loss of innocence. The music does this well. Right from the first scene- the mood is set with the piano piece. As young Georgie is about to lose his childhood in the form of death, a lady (possibly his mother) plays the piano. Bill cannot accompany him because he is sick and bed ridden. We see the impending doom in the form of the continuous rain as seen dripping from the window panes while the curtains are still. Truly sets the ambience. A good background score is always important in horror movies. Guillermo del Toro uses music well. The background score of Mama was good as well. Rating: 5/5 - This is a must watch. The strength of this film is that Pennywise strikes when you expect him to. This goes against the norm (as seen in the films by M. Night Shyamalan where you know that the monster will strike but not when). Here, you know precisely when. This is vital for this film for without it, the impact is not there. You will not sit on the edge of your seat. But it will terrify you, nonetheless. Pennywise is fear after all, who ironically fears that others do not fear him enough. Like Pennywise, fear lurks everywhere. The only way to fight ‘It’ is to stand united. Much like in the world today. We need more horror movies. No other genre is subversive as this genre. Hope you watch this film after this review. Please do. Maybe we can discuss about your thoughts.
