Lieutenant Calvin J. Spann (November 28, 1924 – September 6, 2015) was one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, a fighter pilot with the 100th Fighter Squadron of the 332nd Fighter Group. He received his wings from the Tuskegee Flight School as a part of graduating class 44G. As a member of the Army Air Corps, he served in Europe during WWII, where he flew 26 combat missions before the end of the war in the European Theater.

He attended Rutherford High School.

During his wartime service (1944–46), he was assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group under the command of Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr. He flew in the longest bomber escort mission of the 15th Air Force, a 1600-mile round trip mission on March 24, 1945, from Ramitelli, Italy, to Berlin, to destroy a Daimler-Benz manufacturing facility under the leadership of squadron commander Captain Roscoe Brown.

Later in his life, he spoke at schools, churches, and organizations about the Tuskegee Airmen experience and how their courage and valor helped them to triumph. During these speeches, he encouraged students to commit to excel in the study of mathematics and science and reminded them that through preparation and perseverance, they can succeed. He worked in the pharmaceutical industry. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

So.. This was an Ask I received and accidentally deleted, but they were asking about why the titles were describing scenes, were there missing scenes and how could scenes be missing.

I just want to say I'm not exactly an expert in this but I can try and explain best to my knowledge.

(and oh my god this turned out very long)

There's various reasons why silent films have missing footage. One is just due to the film decaying; nitrate film was highly flammable and if not stored properly would get gunky and film would become ruined in parts. Sometimes they were able to save pieces of the film.

The early motion-picture industry primarily used film stock made of nitrocellulose, commonly called nitrate film. This film is flammable and produces its own oxygen supply as it burns. Nitrate fires burn rapidly and cannot be extinguished, as they are capable of burning even under water.[1] Nitrocellulose is also subject to thermal decomposition and hydrolysis, breaking down over time in the presence of high temperatures and moisture. This decaying film stock releases nitrogen oxides that themselves contribute to the decay and make the damaged film burn more easily. Under the right conditions, nitrate film can spontaneously combust. In part because of substantial variability in the manufacturing of early film, considerable uncertainty exists about the circumstances necessary for self-ignition.[1] Sustained temperatures of 100 °F (38 °C) or higher, large quantities of nitrate film, increased humidity, poor ventilation, and aged or decaying film have all been considered risk factors. Most such fires in film archives have taken place in heat waves during summers, in closed facilities with limited ventilation, compounding several of these variables. Especially in confined areas, such fires can result in explosions. (source)

For the life of me I cannot find this next part of information, but *someone* was helping Buster transfer his nitrate films to preserve them to better film (I think that's what it was) that he had and went to some business for help. The guy flipped at them bringing nitrate films inside, and the guy begged him to do it saying something along the lines of- you see that guy out there? That's Buster Keaton and we need to preserve these films. Feeding them through the machines was difficult and slow because it kept clogging up the machines (and I think broke one?). There was also censorship problems. I noticed was with the Arbuckle/Keaton films, Chicago was either really strict or their records were really well kept. (idk) The Rough House - The Chicago Board of Censors cut the scene showing the theft of beads from the film.

Oh Doctor! -The Chicago Board required a cut of the scene where a man is pulling a women's skirt up to her knees.

Coney Island - The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of a scene with a girl raising her dress above her knee. The original ending was considered racist by the mid-1920s and was cut from the film. Out West - the Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of the scene of arrows in man's back and their removal, man burning back with gas flames, and the shooting of the bartender.

Good Night, Nurse! - (this ones my favorite) - the Chicago Board of Censors cut, in Reel 1, Arbuckle kicking woman, Arbuckle putting foot on woman's posterior, and Arbuckle pulling dress off woman and exposing her figure. (the woman that Roscoe puts his foot on is Buster)

In the instance of Coney Island, we do have copies of both endings. (they're also on the DVDs). Now we have most of these despite the censorships, but that isn't always the case with other films. Moonshine was very fragmented, there were two types, one that was crisp with missing pieces, and a more complete print that was blurry and looks more like a negative. (there's also a lot of title cards which seems unusual to me)

Daydreams is...a mess.. there's still missing pieces of that film. "A restoration effort in 1995 recovered most of the footage, substituting stills and titles to fill the viewer in on the missing scenes." (source)

During that time, they would often describe the entire film in a review (they apparently didn't care about spoilers), which gives us a better idea of what happened in the films. In this case, Daydreams has a missing scene where Buster is working in a hospital.

Hard luck was a lost film until 1987, but even then they didn't have the ending gag that Buster called the greatest laugh-getting scene of his career. It was later discovered in a Russian archive print, I believe they found that in the mid 90s, and it's distorted (as you can see). There's also other instances like with The Navigator. Often they would preview films to audiences in towns to gauge how the film would perform. If it fell flat (like Seven Chances had) they go back and edit or add scenes. With the Navigator there are mentions in reviews of a scene-

"Then I started fixing the leak, but a school of fish came by, all going in the same direction except one poor little fish who tried and tried to cross their track and couldn't. I, seeing its plight, picked up a starfish, put it on my chest, whistled, and held up my hand at the school of fish. They stopped, I motioned the little fish to cross, he swam by, then I turned and signaled the school to pass on. They all went by, and I returned to the leak." (A Filmmakers Life- James Curtis pg 259),

but in screening the film, the audience didn't react well to it, so they cut it (after several screenings, not understanding why it didn't work). But in trailers, they kept that scene because it worked better. And then there were the fires. MGM had a massive vault fire (1965), as did Fox (1937) (among many others)

The Cameraman was at one point considered a lost film, destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire. However, a complete print was discovered in Paris in 1968.[19] Another print, of much higher quality, although missing some footage, was discovered in 1991.[19] The two prints were combined into a version which now is available. (source)

Another case with The Cameraman was- MGM writing department used the film to train new writers as a "perfectly constructed comedy" for decades, even wearing out their print.

There's also stuff about copyright laws (not getting into that), Rohaur, who was trying to preserve Buster's films had to rewrite intertitles, add canned music and alter crucial edits made by buster and his original cutters. (A Filmmakers Life - Curtis pg 616)

SO in ending this..In the beginning of film they didn't know how important these movies would become and they were not exactly taken care of. There are still silent films being discovered in all parts of the world, fragmented, sometimes attached to other films, and in various conditions. There are restoration projects to restore all silent films, and I have seen people raise money to help aid in this. (IBKS accepts donations to help support their nonprofit organization, which includes artifact preservation.)

Uh yeah.. I'm sure this isn't everything, but I hope this helps...

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Teens Designing & Selling Streetwear

Some high schoolers say they started their brands for the profits. Others are jumping into streetwear in pursuit of a creative outlet. A large cardboard box covered in Chinese customs labels sits in the attic of Jack Lee’s parent’s home in the Roscoe Village neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side. The lanky teenager slices into the box and produces a pair of black basketball shorts adorned with white bolts of lightning. He smiles as he traces the mesh material with his fingers.

Lee is the founder of the streetwear brand Snker Method. He is one of many high schoolers in Chicago — most of them boys — who have started their own clothing companies in recent years, selling everything from hoodies to ski masks. The teens operate out of homes in all corners of the city and its suburbs, mostly selling to their high school peers, but also shipping clothes to young people as far away as New Jersey or California. Lee’s goal is to make a million dollars in sales and eventually get hired at Nike. “I want to make a mark on the world.”

Keyon Hackle & Jacob Hunter, Designers & Classmates at "Kenwood Academy" (Photo: Manuel Martinez)

Lee, the budding businessman, sketches his designs before he sends them to his manufacturers in China. Shipping costs are a nightmare, but Lee says it’s still cheaper than manufacturing on American soil. He puts the lightning bolt shorts up on his website for $60, then immediately marks them down to $35 — a sales trick he says he doesn’t like to tell people about. Over on the South Side, designer Jamari Jackson is selling his t-shirts for $15.

Jackson has set up a pop-up shop outside Kenwood Academy High School where he is a senior. Kanye West’s Good Morning blares from a small speaker as seniors mill around the folding table Jackson set up, signing each other’s new t-shirts in rainbow-colored markers. Once class lets out, customers flood Jackson’s pop-up. One kid calls his mom to ask permission to buy one of the shirts — a white tee with the words “See No Evil” written in faded black letters on the front. Two clothing designers who also go to Kenwood show up to check out the competition.

Keyon Hackle and Jacob Hunter, who runs a brand named CLRVNT, did a recent pop-up of their brand, where they gave out a bunch of free clothes to students. Several months ago, the teens also gave out a bunch of free samples to their teachers, who wore their CLRVNT swag to school.“We’re only in our first year and we’ve already generated about a quarter million in sales,” Hackle says. “So I can see us on that path to making millions of dollars.” Aside from Hackle and Hunter, Jackson can name at least five other streetwear brand owners who go to Kenwood. They have a little bit of a rivalry going on.

“At the end of the day, it is a market, so there’s always naturally going to be that competition,” Jackson says. “But we kind of work around each other.” While this friendly rivalry drives Jackson, brand owner Tevence Smith over on the West Side says he’s in the streetwear market to create art. Smith runs a brand named Oswalt. His earliest designs were heavy with lightning bolts and clouds, inspired by the Greek God Zeus. But Smith says his clothes also tell the story of the Black community in Austin, the West Side neighborhood he calls home.

“Clothes mean a lot to us,” Smith says. “Whether it’s the way you tie your shoes, whether it’s the way you wear your pants. Clothes [are] a way to express yourself, a way to be free.”Free from the problems plaguing his people, he says, like gun violence and racism. The teen looks up to Virgil Abloh, a designer from Rockford, Illinois, who made a name for himself by melding streetwear with luxury fashion as the artistic director of menswear for Louis Vuitton.

“A lot of the clothes he makes are beyond clothes,” Smith says. “It’s art pieces. And that’s how I like to look at my clothes as well.”Abloh passed away in 2021. But Smith sometimes looks up videos of his fashion shows on YouTube for inspiration. He dreams of one day hosting his runway in Paris like Abloh did. “To know someone from a small town like Rockford can make it gives me hope,” Smith says. “It helps me keep pushing forward.” - Content Curated By Anna Savchenko

bodybuilder fits?

TarroKitanoe7 years ago

i really hate post like this because there is lack of participation and no consistency.There are so many fits for big guys,athletic or muscular leg whatever. i am 6 foot 6 and 268 lbs i normally buy all my denim in selvage been collecting for about 10 years now. My recomendations for big guy selvage from a actual BIG GUY!!!!

I have muscular thighs and calves and a black mans butt since i am black. I wear a lot of Levis Vintage Clothing 501,My fave is the 1954-but 1933 and 1937 are great fits,classic.

I

love PRPS (made in Japan only) i do not care for the china "& goods Co" range lack of quality,if you can find the Barracuda on ebay, selvage not fake fit and length is the shit!

Lee 101,yes Lee had a few that I like the 101B cowboy pant green selavage,yes it fits big guys! Love these,before they stopped selling this online in the USA i bought a few fits from them including a chocolate brown pair of chinos . The Lee Roscoe a slim,yes slim boot cut green selvage Made in Poland is a great fit with Superstars or canvas sneakers and a Tee!

I love the regular slim from Gilded Age purple selavage and a great fit,Ladies love this fit on me and I felt they were a bit tight until I broke them in a good slim not skinny but slim and looks really good.

Nudie Average Joe selvage is another great fit billed as a relaxed fit i think it is a slim fit on me at least but roomy in thighs and calves but not too loose,These anf Regular Ralph or Alph are a good go to brand if price is not an issue.

I also love the Samurai Union Star,This is another relaxed early american style fit,A lot of people feel it is too loose but if your legs are muscular it will balance out and look really good on you i like mine a lot.

On the cheap,The Gap"s earlier foray into selvage had some noteworthy fits the slim straight is a lot like the Gilded Age fit on me and they came in 36' inseam back in the day. I have 2 pairs 1 is made in italy and they are a great straight 501 like fit. The other is japanese selvage but it is a relaxed like straight but it is also a good fit. I saw some in a store last year and the quality are not as good in my opinion.

I have too many to go into but i do not own any Chrome Hearts-Too pricey in my opinion,Real Evisu has several fit that will work but not too much Gull action on the back is best!

Most of all my jeans are high end,but they bare some cheaper alternatives out there. I think the easiest way is to measure your waist,thighs and calves and check the specs on the websites or measure your favorite fitting jeans lying flat and measure those parts and match it to manufacture spec's Give or take a inch above or below should work on your body, Learn what looks good and invest in those just my opinion.

This is the Film Narration-by Georgie

Narration for Bold Street Film – Georgie, Greta and Chloe 

A film about Liverpool.  What should we choose in a city so rich in culture, art and steeped in history? We decided to boldly go where no students had gone before….. Bold Street.  

From agricultural land, the area became a ropewalk manufacturing site for the ships in Liverpool that were used for transporting slaves. Not a proud time in Liverpool’s history.  In the 1780s, Houses were developed, built for merchants. After becoming somewhat forgotten in the 1980s and 90s Bold Street has once again reinvented itself.   It has a diverse, multi-ethnic atmosphere, creating a vibrancy that draws all people. 

It was named Bold Street after Jonas Bold – one of the most influential men of his time and yes, you’ve guessed how he made his money….  

But not everyone was enmeshed in the slave trade, let’s introduce William Roscoe.  He was instrumental in the construction of this magnificent building that is the first you see when starting your journey up Bold Street. The Lyceum was the innovation of Roscoe and other philanthropists.  It was built in a neo-classical style and housed the first subscription library in England, paving the way for our public libraries.  Now, the Lyceum needs to be restored to its former glory.  We live in hope. 

Back to William Roscoe briefly, who came from a working-class family and rose to become known as ‘Liverpool’s greatest citizen’.  As the MP for Liverpool, he campaigned tirelessly for the abolition of slavery – a brave man indeed. . But we owe more to him than his stand against the slavers.  Without him, we would not be here in this building now.  He was instrumental in establishing the Liverpool Mechanics’ School of Arts in 1823.  It went on to be the best university in Liverpool – yes, LJMU!!   

The secret of appreciating Bold Street’s architectural history is to look up, above the modern shop fronts that line the street.  Above, can be seen 18th century facades, Edwardian, Victorian and the beautiful Art Deco styles of Radiant House and the former art gallery, Rennies.  

We pause here outside Mowgli, to pay homage to Nisha Katona, our vice-chancellor.  This was her flagship restaurant and paved he way for others, only in the North. 

Bold Street has always had its share of artists in residence.  In 1823, Louis Daguerre, father of modern-day photography, installed one of the first dioramas in Europe here in a purpose-made building. A diorama is large semi-transparent canvas behind which natural or artificial lights would create atmospheric effects – an early form of cinema. The Ruins of Holyrood that we have all admired in the Walker Art Gallery was one of his first exhibitions across the British Isles.  

Around the end of the 19th century, Francis Barraud set up his studio above his brothers’ photography work room at 92 Bold Street. Francis who, I hear you ask?  It was in this studio in 1898 that he painted a Jack Russell listening to a phonograph.  This image was to become a world-famous icon and logo… His Master’s Voice.  This was adopted as the trademark for RCA records and later EMI.  

A visit to Bold Street Coffee will give you the opportunity to view work by upcoming local artists.  As an independent cafe, they wanted the community to grow as they grew. They believe art and coffee go hand in hand. They want to bring contemporary art to an audience who would not normally engage with all that new-fangled stuff.  

Just off Bold Street stands FACT.  It was set up in 1988 to provide a base for artists to have access to the new media.  In 2003, FACT opened a purpose-built art hub and has been at the forefront of new styles of artwork.  The building is not a white cube but has curves, space and natural light – welcoming all into its accessible surroundings.  Their aims are to enable artists to use technology to explore how we live our lives, and to support the intersectionality of human beings and technology.  The gallery and artists work throughout the local communities and schools to bring art outside the walls of a gallery. 

From 2004-2007, FACT created the Bold Street Project, working with local artists and the community of the street.  Michelle Wren created a 3D sculptural model of Bold Street, as an homage to Daguerre’s diorama.  There were community events, artwork and performance art. You can find the link to more of this project on our blog. 

And we now come to the Bombed-Out Church which stands as a guardian to watch over the Bold Street community. A place of worship until May 1941, it was extensively damaged by the bombing blitz that hit Liverpool.  It is a memorial to all those who died in war.  In 2014, a sculpture by Andy Edwards, called ‘All Together Now’ was placed in the grounds, commemorating the Christmas Day Truce between the British and Germans, where they laid down their arms and played a game of football – a fitting tribute to the residents of Liverpool, where the beautiful game is so revered.  The Bombed-out Church is a venue for artists, community theatre and craft markets. 

We hope we have shown you how Bold Street and its residents have influenced the development of architecture and culture over the last two centuries and how Liverpool’s artistic heritage will continue to thrive. 

No film about Liverpool would be complete without music, so we end our film with ‘The Bold Street Strut’ by Wild Rossa and the ’88, released in 2015.

Chapter 12: Home Again

When Buster returned to work the next day, he felt truly at home. All of his crew welcomed him back when they showed up at his studio. Even friends, including Roscoe paid a visit to say hello that afternoon. Just as Keaton thought he would be making the films he brought to the studio, his assumptions were wrong. 

Schenck came to him and announced that he recently purchased the rights for the stage comedy “Battling Buttler.” and wanted him to make it a feature. Buster was half disappointed with the news. Seven Chances is a musical (he can easily strip out the musical elements), not a farce. But Buster had wanted to make an original story after adapting a stage play and even told Schenck the idea that he and Lex had come up while on the east, but not all ideas can be realized and they had not given much thought to it. 

Buster still has Sherwood’s story, but he had to remain in New York for his job, so they cannot work around that unless he comes to Los Angeles on vacation, which would most likely be in the summer. If he wanted to make a film done by fall, he will have to adapt Battling Buttler and put the western comedy idea and Skyscraper on hold just in case something comes up.

Meanwhile, Buster checked outside to see if Gail had arrived yet. Several days had passed since he asked her to visit his studio, but she had not appeared. He knew she was interested. She may have been busy, chickened out, or forgotten his invitation. He was losing hope until he saw her walking at the outdoor set in her amazement.

He walked up to her, “Hello.” 

As she greeted him back, he heard the male British accent, “Well, if it is the stone face himself!”

It was then he noticed that she was accompanied by two others behind her.

“Sorry, I hope you didn’t mind if I brought my friends. They wanted to come too.”

“No problem as long as they don’t misbehave.”

The Brit chirped out, “You have a voice of some sort. Didn’t think it would be coming from you!”

Gail gestured him to them, “You remember Sally. And this is her boyfriend-”

He shook Keaton’s hand in a swift movement, “Sterling Thomas, social aristocrat and one of the kin of the canned food manufacturer. A pleasure to meet you.”

Buster felt uneasy with this sudden introduction. Sally pulled him apart from her paramour saying, “Cut that out, you might be scaring him.”

He tipped his hat to the comedian, “My apologies, Have you visited my home country?”

“England?” he was responded with a nod, “Yeah, my folks and I went there for our vaudeville tour, but we left early cause my father didn’t enjoy the food there.”

Sterling gave him a sullen look, "Aw, he isn't fond of shepherd's pie and steak with kidney pie?"

Sally bluntly added, “Yeah, One of them must be the reason.” 

“I missed being there. If I had time for a European vacation, I would be happy to go back there.”

“So Keaton, Could we have a look around?” Sally chirped in, “I’m sure Gail would be dying to have a tour.”

He clarified to the blonde, “Buster is fine. And I'd like to, but I’m afraid my schedule is busy. I’ll have someone here to guide you." They nodded in approval and Buster went inside to prepare a meeting with his gag writers. That evening, the studio was closing down for the night. Almost everyone has gone home and Buster was getting ready to leave when he spotted Gail coming in.

“You’re still here?”

“No, I only came back to drop off my resume.” she handed him the Manilla envelope titled to the studio with her return address listed on the top left corner. 

“How have you been? How did the rest of the train ride go?”

“Just fine, I had done some reading and mingling with the passengers. How about yours?”

“The same, I spent some time playing cards with my father, my friend Lex, and manager for MGM Nick. Do you play bridge?”

“Yes, an aunt of Sally has her and me help her practice for monthly game nights. Oh, and I had found work as a background character in the movie The Freshman.”

“Harold Lloyd’s upcoming feature?”

“That’s right, it was in the middle of production, but they needed more additional actors. Today happened to be my day off.” She assured buster, “My schedule will be free as soon as filming is finished.”

“Aren't you working as a bathing beauty?” he had just remembered her mentioning it on the gin mill.

“Not anymore, I wanted to work on more features than shorts except if they offer me starring roles. So when are you casting?”

“Well, for right now we are looking out for boxers.”

When Gail questioned him, he told her “I’m adapting Battling Buttler. Since that show is a musical, I can remove the aspects and the T from the title so there will be no need for a pun.”

“Will there still be a leading lady?”

“Of course. I’d like to ask you something? Can you play baseball?”

“Is that required?”

“We played the game when we take a break from filming. It helps me come up with ideas."

“I can least throw a ball. Still needs practice, though.”

He looked at his watch, “I still have to get going. Do you have a ride home?”

“I can always call a taxi.”

He shook his head, “It doesn’t seem to be safe in the dark. Come with me, I’ll have my chauffeur, Caruthers drive you there.” 

Gail was reluctant but went on ahead. Buster sat in the back next to Gail as Caruthers (surprised with an additional passenger.) drove the vehicle to Wilshire Boulevard. They dropped her off at the block to get out quickly. “Thank you, but you don’t have to do this.”

“Well, we’re friends, I don’t mind helping. I’ll keep you posted for the job.”

She waved goodbye as she left the car “Until then Take it or leave it!”

The car didn't leave until it was sure Gail got into the house in one piece. Buster opened the envelope on the way and read her 2- page resume. Then he stared at her headshot until he realized he was blushing.

One week later, Schenck barged into Buster’s office informing him, “Keaton! I’m afraid something’s had just come up.”

“What happened?” Buster said, looking straight at him.

“Some writer of Battling Butler had no idea that you’ll be making that picture. So he considered backing out of that deal.”

“Damn,” Keaton uttered. As he scratched his head, he added, “I guess we ought to make that western comedy after all.”

**********

Gail still hadn't heard from Buster. She knew that she must be very patient as it’s been a week. She remembered feeling tense when she was in his car, but was thrilling for her. She wanted to forget that Buster is a cheat, but only because his wife doesn’t want to sleep with him anymore. At the same time, she kept imagining a red A plastered on his chest like The Scarlet Letter. But for now, she had to keep him off her mind as she was currently on the set of The Freshman. 

The scenes had her either outdoors or in the auditorium, which felt bigger than the set in Gold Rush. But now she was in the Ballroom scene. Beatrice had joined her because the Bathing beauties had been slow lately. It was so crowded that she couldn’t tell which actor was Harold Lloyd until he wore the glasses. She was reminded of her college days, except she stayed at the women's boarding house outside the college grounds.

Filming took too long that she didn’t get home after midnight. She tiptoed upstairs to her room lest to wake up whoever’s present, changed into her pajamas, freshened up a bit, and went to bed. Two hours later, she awoke when she felt someone climbing into the bed next to her. She turned to, in shock, a naked Sterling lying on his side.

Her scream alarmed Lenore and Sally, with the latter wrapping herself in a dressing gown as they rushed to her room.

“Christ!” Lenore covered her eyes in disgust for his indecency.

Covering himself with a pillow, Sterling apologized with a slurred tone. “Oh, sorry, I thought it was me girl.”

Lenore went to a shocked Gail and comforted her, “What has he done to you?”

Gail assured her nothing happened. Lenore brought her purse from her bedroom and gave him the fee for the taxi.

She took Sterling down the stairs, kicked him out after putting his clothes back on, “I want you out of my house and never come back!” The front door was shut in his face. Upon climbing up again, she commanded her niece to go back to bed, “We’ll discuss this in the morning.”

Silently, Sally obeyed her, so intoxicated that she seemed unaware of the situation. When she threw up on route, Gail offered to assist her to the bathroom.

The next morning, the women of the house woke up late, choosing to attend the 1:30 Sunday service. Gail and Lenore had their breakfast in silence.

Sally slowly climbed down the stairs now wearing a nightgown underneath her robe. “Did I die and go to hell?” she said with her hand on her forehead.

Lenore replied while avoiding eye contact with her niece, ”No, you have just gone to hell.”

Gail, still shaken from last night, poured her a cup of coffee and handed her a plate of scrambled eggs and toast.

After finishing her meal and starting to recover from her hangover, Sally headed towards the stairs saying, “I’ll be going over to Sterling’s and see how he’s doing.”

Lenore stood up from the table, “Stop right there, miss! I don’t want you to see that man again.”

Sally hollered at her, “You can tell a grown woman what to do!” They took the argument upstairs but remained in Gail’s earshot. 

“Didn’t you remember what he did last night? He climbed into the bed next to Gail in the buff!”

“Auntie, He was probably so drunk that he couldn’t tell the difference.”

“He would’ve raped her right there!”

“We already screwed when we got home. He wouldn’t be tired of me that soon.”

“I don’t know what has gotten to you. You’re turning into your mother.”

“What do you know? You and uncle Stanley left Brooklyn because you were embarrassed by us.”

Lenore defended herself, “We came here to invest in real estate. If they hadn't sent you to me, you would have been a prostitute, but you still throw yourself to any man."

Gail fed Persia to distract herself, but to no avail. She then proceeded to empty her table.

“Admit it, you wished you’re related to Gail because she’s everything I’m not.”

Gail stopped when she heard this.

“This was your idea to take her in because you didn't want to give up your nightlife. I wanted to teach you about responsibility, that’s why you’re sent here”

"No, they told me to go here so I could watch you."

“Well, I think they’re wrong because the messed up one is you.”

Something snapped in Gail when she shouted, “Stop! Stop it!” The plate slipped out of her hand. It shattered into a bunch of pieces, scaring the cat. They rushed downstairs at the source of the noise only to find Gail by the kitchen sink and a broken plate on the floor. She whimpered as she said, “My grandmother died, I came all the way to New York just to break up with Benjamin, I had no idea if my career would ever progress and there you are, arguing.” she turned to them, “I’m tired, I’m tired.” she was this close to shedding her tears when she shouted, “Why can't you two get along like a goddam family!" 

She ran upstairs to her room. She sobbed when her face landed on her pillow. She wished she didn’t say all that to them, but it was right for her. She heard a few knocks on the door. In the room were Sally and Lenore 

Sally said to her, “I am awfully sorry.” Gail had never seen her act like this. “I should’ve been more sympathetic to you.”

“You were right,” Lenore said in a broken voice. “We weren’t getting along. But we’re family so we’ll try to make it all better.” They all cuddled up in a very comforting hug.

She looked around her room, only it wasn’t her room, to begin with. It wasn’t like the one she grew up in. She didn’t feel like she was meant to be here.

“That’s fine.”

She let go of their embrace, “But I’m not your family.” She never felt at home no matter what.

“I think it’s time for me to move out.”

Even though they were stunned by her statement, Lenore and Sally agreed.

Note: There I never thought I would finish it on time but I did. Do you think it was getting too dramatic? I would like your feedback on my chapters.

[sultag-sims]

A colleague made the mistake of asking Roscoe to hold onto a recently manufactured Simray...

The lyrics of a certain The Clash song started to float around inside of Roscoe's head.

[silent-era-of-cinema]

Amabel Ethelreid Normand (November 10, 1892 – February 23, 1930) was an American silent-film actress, screenwriter, director, and producer. She was a popular star and collaborator of Mack Sennett in his Keystone Studios films, and at the height of her career in the late 1910s and early 1920s had her own movie studio and production company. Onscreen, she appeared in 12 successful films with Charlie Chaplin and 17 with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, sometimes writing and directing (or co-writing/directing) movies featuring Chaplin as her leading man.

Throughout the 1920s, her name was linked with widely publicized scandals, including the 1922 murder of William Desmond Taylor and the 1924 shooting of Courtland S. Dines, who was shot by Normand's chauffeur using her pistol. She was a suspect in the first crime for a short period, but disregarded from the latter. Her film career declined, and she suffered a recurrence of tuberculosis in 1923, which led to a decline in her health, retirement from films, and her death in 1930 at age 37.

Born Amabel Ethelreid Normand in New Brighton, Richmond County, New York (before it was incorporated into New York City), she grew up in a working-class family. Her mother, Mary "Minne" Drury, of Providence, Rhode Island,[8] was of Irish heritage, while her father was French Canadian. Her father, Clodman "Claude" Normand, was employed as a cabinetmaker and stage carpenter at Sailors' Snug Harbor home for elderly seamen. She had 5 siblings.

Before she entered films at age 16 in 1909, Normand worked as an artist's model, which included posing for postcards illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson, creator of the Gibson Girl image, as well as for Butterick's clothing pattern manufacturers in lower Manhattan.

For a short time, she worked for Vitagraph Studios in New York City for $25 per week, but Vitagraph founder Albert E. Smith admitted she was one of several actresses about whom he made a mistake in estimating their "potential for future stardom."

Her lead performance, directed by D. W. Griffith in the dramatic 1911 short film Her Awakening, drew attention and she met director Mack Sennett while at Griffith's Biograph Company. She embarked on a topsy-turvy relationship with him; he later brought her across to California when he founded Keystone Studios in 1912. Her earlier Keystone films portrayed her as a bathing beauty, but Normand quickly demonstrated a flair for comedy and became a major star of Sennett's short films.

Normand appeared with Charles Chaplin and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in many short films. She is credited as being the first film star to receive a pie thrown in the face.

She played a key role in starting Chaplin's film career and acted as his leading lady and mentor in a string of films in 1914, sometimes co-writing and directing or co-directing films with him. Chaplin had considerable initial difficulty adjusting to the demands of film acting, and his performance suffered for it. After his first film appearance in Making a Living, Sennett felt he had made a costly mistake.

Most historians agree Normand persuaded Sennett to give Chaplin another chance,[14] and she and Chaplin appeared together in a dozen subsequent films, almost always as a couple in the lead roles. In 1914, she starred with Marie Dressler and Chaplin in Tillie's Punctured Romance, the first feature-length comedy. Earlier that same year, in January/February, Chaplin first played his Tramp character in Mabel's Strange Predicament, although it wound up being the second Tramp film released; Chaplin offered a detailed account of his experience on the film in his autobiography. Normand directed Chaplin and herself in the film.

She opened her own company in partnership with Mack Sennett 1916. It was based in Culver City and was a subsidiary of the Triangle Film Corporation. She lost the company in 1918 when Triangle experienced a massive shake up which also had Sennett lose Keystone and establish his own independent studio. In 1918, as her relationship with Sennett came to an end, Normand signed a $3,500-per-week contract with Samuel Goldwyn.[citation needed] Around that same time, Normand allegedly had a miscarriage with Goldwyn's child.

Normand's co-star in many films, Roscoe Arbuckle, was the defendant in three widely publicized trials for manslaughter in the 1921 death of actress Virginia Rappe. Although Arbuckle was acquitted, the scandal destroyed his career, and his films were banned from exhibition for a short time. Since she had made some of her best works with him, much of Normand's output was withheld from the public as a result. Arbuckle later returned to the screen as a director and actor but didn't attain his previous popularity despite being innocent and exonerated in court.

Director William Desmond Taylor shared her interest in books, and the two formed a close relationship. Author Robert Giroux claims that Taylor was deeply in love with Normand, who had originally approached him for help in curing her alleged cocaine dependency. According to Normand's subsequent statements to investigators, her repeated relapses were devastating for Taylor.

Giroux says that Taylor met with federal prosecutors shortly before his death and offered to assist them in filing charges against Normand's cocaine suppliers. Giroux expresses a belief that Normand's suppliers learned of this meeting and hired a contract killer to murder the director. According to Giroux, Normand suspected the reasons for Taylor's murder, but did not know the identity of the man who killed him.

According to Kevin Brownlow and John Kobal in their book Hollywood: The Pioneers, the idea that Taylor was murdered by drug dealers was invented by the studio for publicity purposes.

On the night of his murder, February 1, 1922, Normand left Taylor's bungalow at 7:45 pm in a happy mood, carrying a book he had lent her. They blew kisses to each other as her limousine drove away. Normand was the last person known to have seen Taylor alive. The Los Angeles Police Department subjected Normand to a grueling interrogation, but ruled her out as a suspect. Most subsequent writers have done the same. However, Normand's career had already slowed, and her reputation was tarnished. According to George Hopkins, who sat next to her at Taylor's funeral, Normand wept inconsolably.

In 1924, Normand's chauffeur Joe Kelly shot and wounded millionaire oil broker and amateur golfer Courtland S. Dines with her pistol. In response, several theaters pulled Normand's films, and her films were banned in Ohio by the state film censorship board.

Normand continued making films and was signed by Hal Roach Studios in 1926 after discussions with director/producer F. Richard Jones, who had directed her at Keystone. At Roach, she made the films Raggedy Rose, The Nickel-Hopper, and One Hour Married (her last film), all co-written by Stan Laurel, and was directed by Leo McCarey in Should Men Walk Home? The films were released with extensive publicity support from the Hollywood community, including her friend Mary Pickford.

In 1926, she married actor Lew Cody, with whom she had appeared in Mickey in 1918. They lived separately in nearby houses in Beverly Hills. However, Normand's health was in decline due to tuberculosis. After an extended stay in Pottenger Sanitorium, she died from tuberculosis on February 23, 1930 in Monrovia, California at the age of 37. She was interred as Mabel Normand-Cody at Calvary Cemetery, Los Angeles.

Mabel Normand has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to motion pictures at 6821 Hollywood Boulevard.

Her film Mabel's Blunder (1914) was added to the National Film Registry in December 2009.

In June 2010, the New Zealand Film Archive reported the discovery of a print of Normand's film Won in a Closet (exhibited in New Zealand under its alternate title Won in a Cupboard), a short comedy previously believed lost. This film is a significant discovery, as Normand directed the movie and starred in the lead role, displaying her talents on both sides of the camera.

KATIE & ROSCOE

November 6, 1948

“Katie & Roscoe” is episode #17 of the radio series MY FAVORITE HUSBAND broadcast on November 6, 1948.

Synopsis ~ Katie, the Cugat's maid, has been telling her long-distance romance that she was rich. Can Liz convince Roscoe that she's the maid and Katie is her employer? It all depends on whether or not George finds out!

This script was partially used as the basis for the “I Love Lucy” episode “Mertz and Kurtz” (ILL S1;E32) first aired on October 11, 1954. 

Note: This episode of “My Favorite Husband” was aired before the characters names were changed from Cugat to Cooper. It was also before Jell-O came aboard to sponsor the show and before the regular cast featured Bea Benadaret and Gale Gordon as the Atterburys.

“My Favorite Husband” was based on the novels Mr. and Mrs. Cugat, the Record of a Happy Marriage (1940) and Outside Eden (1945) by Isabel Scott Rorick, which had previously been adapted into the film Are Husbands Necessary? (1942). “My Favorite Husband” was first broadcast as a one-time special on July 5, 1948. Lucille Ball and Lee Bowman played the characters of Liz and George Cugat, and a positive response to this broadcast convinced CBS to launch “My Favorite Husband” as a series. Bowman was not available Richard Denning was cast as George. On January 7, 1949, confusion with bandleader Xavier Cugat prompted a name change to Cooper. On this same episode Jell-O became its sponsor. A total of 124 episodes of the program aired from July 23, 1948 through March 31, 1951. After about ten episodes had been written, writers Fox and Davenport departed and three new writers took over – Bob Carroll, Jr., Madelyn Pugh, and head writer/producer Jess Oppenheimer. In March 1949 Gale Gordon took over the existing role of George’s boss, Rudolph Atterbury, and Bea Benaderet was added as his wife, Iris. CBS brought “My Favorite Husband” to television in 1953, starring Joan Caulfield and Barry Nelson as Liz and George Cooper. The television version ran two-and-a-half seasons, from September 1953 through December 1955, running concurrently with “I Love Lucy.” It was produced live at CBS Television City for most of its run, until switching to film for a truncated third season filmed (ironically) at Desilu and recasting Liz Cooper with Vanessa Brown.

MAIN CAST

Lucille Ball (Liz Cugat) was born on August 6, 1911 in Jamestown, New York. She began her screen career in 1933 and was known in Hollywood as ‘Queen of the B’s’ due to her many appearances in ‘B’ movies. “My Favorite Husband” eventually led to the creation of “I Love Lucy,” a television situation comedy in which she co-starred with her real-life husband, Latin bandleader Desi Arnaz. The program was phenomenally successful, allowing the couple to purchase what was once RKO Studios, re-naming it Desilu. When the show ended in 1960 (in an hour-long format known as “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour”) so did Lucy and Desi’s marriage. In 1962, hoping to keep Desilu financially solvent, Lucy returned to the sitcom format with “The Lucy Show,” which lasted six seasons. She followed that with a similar sitcom “Here’s Lucy” co-starring with her real-life children, Lucie and Desi Jr., as well as Gale Gordon, who had joined the cast of “The Lucy Show” during season two. Before her death in 1989, Lucy made one more attempt at a sitcom with “Life With Lucy,” also with Gordon.

Richard Denning (George Cugat) was born Louis Albert Heindrich Denninger Jr., in Poughkeepsie, New York. When he was 18 months old, his family moved to Los Angeles. Plans called for him to take over his father’s garment manufacturing business, but he developed an interest in acting. Denning enlisted in the US Navy during World War II. He is best known for his  roles in various science fiction and horror films of the 1950s. Although he teamed with Lucille Ball on radio in “My Favorite Husband,” the two never acted together on screen. While “I Love Lucy” was on the air, he was seen on another CBS TV series, “Mr. & Mrs. North.” From 1968 to 1980 he played the Governor on “Hawaii 5-0″, his final role. He died in 1998 at age 84.

Ruth Perrott (Katie, the Maid) was also later seen on “I Love Lucy.” She first played Mrs. Pomerantz, a member of the surprise investigating committee for the Society Matrons League in “Pioneer Women” (ILL S1;E25), as one of the member of the Wednesday Afternoon Fine Arts League in “Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress” (ILL S3;E3), and also played a nurse when “Lucy Goes to the Hospital” (ILL S2;E16). She died in 1996 at the age of 96.

Bob LeMond (Announcer) also served as the announcer for the pilot episode of “I Love Lucy”. When the long-lost pilot was finally discovered in 1990, a few moments of the opening narration were damaged and lost, so LeMond – fifty years later – recreated the narration for the CBS special and subsequent DVD release.

GUEST CAST

Hans Conried (Roscoe Miller) first co-starred with Lucille Ball in The Big Street (1942). He then appeared on “I Love Lucy” as used furniture man Dan Jenkins in “Redecorating” (ILL S2;E8) and later that same season as Percy Livermore in “Lucy Hires an English Tutor” (ILL S2;E13) – both in 1952. The following year he began an association with Disney by voicing Captain Hook in Peter Pan. On “The Lucy Show” he played Professor Gitterman in “Lucy’s Barbershop Quartet” (TLS S1;E19) and in “Lucy Plays Cleopatra” (TLS S2;E1). He was probably best known as Uncle Tonoose on “Make Room for Daddy” starring Danny Thomas, which was filmed on the Desilu lot. He joined Thomas on a season 6 episode of “Here’s Lucy” in 1973. He died in 1982 at age 64. 

John Hiestand (Cory Cartwright) served as the announcer for the radio show “Let George Do It” from 1946 to 1950. In 1955 he did an episode of “Our Miss Brooks” opposite Gale Gordon. Cory was a regular character who was eventually written out of the series when the Atterbury’s (Gale Gordon and Bea Bendaret) were introduced. 

Bea Benadaret (Lucy, Party Line Gossip) was considered the front-runner to be cast as Ethel Mertz but when “I Love Lucy” was ready to start production she was already playing a similar role on TV’s “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show” so Vivian Vance was cast instead. On “I Love Lucy” she was cast as Lucy Ricarodo’s spinster neighbor, Miss Lewis, in “Lucy Plays Cupid” (ILL S1;E15) in early 1952. Later, she was a success in her own show, “Petticoat Junction” as Shady Rest Hotel proprietress Kate Bradley. She starred in the series until her death in 1968.

Florence Halop (Bessie, Party Line Gossip) was cast to replace Bea Benadaret in a radio show moving to CBS TV called “Meet Millie” when she was hired to play on of the two women on Lucy Ricardo’s party line in “Redecorating” (ILL S2;E8) also featuring Hans Conried. She wouldn’t work for Lucy again until 1974, when she played a Little Old Lady on a Western-themed episode of “Here’s Lucy.” In 1985, she replaced Selma Diamond (who had died of lung cancer) as the bailiff on “Night Court.” Coincidentally, Halop, also a heavy smoker, died less than a year later of the same disease.

Herb Vigran (Newspaper Collection Man / Bank Telephone Voice) made several appearances on “My Favorite Husband.” He would later play Jule, Ricky’s music union agent on two episodes of “I Love Lucy”. He would go on to play Joe (and Mrs. Trumbull’s nephew), the washing machine repairman in “Never Do Business With Friends” (S2;E31) and Al Sparks, the publicity man who hires Lucy and Ethel to play Martians on top of the Empire State Building in “Lucy is Envious” (S3;E23). Of his 350 screen roles, he also made six appearances on “The Lucy Show.”

THE EPISODE

Liz Cugat is in the kitchen doing dishes when Katie the maid comes in, worried about a boyfriend she hasn’t seen in 15 years: Roscoe Miller, a wealthy man from Kansas she’s been corresponding with. Katie has told him she was wealthy, too.  Roscoe is coming to town and now Katie is worried she will be discovered as a maid, not a mistress. 

To rescue Katie, Liz will pretend to be the maid, while Katie poses as Lady of the house!  To accommodate the deception, Liz loans Katie her wardrobe and perfume.  In the process, she tears the dress.

KATIE: “I’m just too fat for your clothes.” LIZ: “Oh, fiddle-faddle!”  KATIE: “That’s just it. My fiddle’s okay, I’m just too big in the faddle.”

The doorbell rings and Liz goes into action as the maid to answer it. She admits the man, but it is just the newspaper collection man (Herb Vigran). After he goes, the bell rings again. It is Roscoe Miller, who doesn’t match Katie’s description at all. 

Katie greets Roscoe, but instinctively doesn’t sit down, forgetting she’s no longer the maid. Roscoe is still single.  Katie says she is, too, but Roscoe spots a cigar smoldering in the ashtray.  Katie says it is hers!  Roscoe also sees a photo of a man (George) inscribed “to my wife”!  She says they are her ex-husband. 

LIZ: “Pardon me, ma’am. How do you get the cream and sugar into those little tea bags?” 

Katie asks Liz to explain about the ex-husband in the photo. Thinking quick, Liz says he left and has never been heard of since, taking the children with him. 

LIZ: “And he took her automobile with him.” ROSCOE: “The cad!” LIZ: “No, the Buick.”

Liz continues her story, saying that he developed amnesia and is wandering the world somewhere. Katie starts to cry. Liz says his name was Adolph Jensen. When Katie starts to chime in on Liz’s story, they tell conflicting tales, confusing Roscoe. They can’t decide where she met him: bank or country club or whether it was 8 or 10 yeas ago.

The doorbell rings. It is Cory Cartwright (John Heistand). Liz enlists his help by telling him the whole story on the porch:

LIZ: “Roscoe Miller is Katie’s old boyfriend who thinks she’s married to Adolph Jensen. Adolph has amnesia because he embezzled the bank and we’ve got to get rid of Roscoe before George comes home and he finds out the truth. Now, is that clear?” CORY: “Sure. You just condensed the plot of the last three years of ‘Ma Perkins’.”

“Ma Perkins” was a radio soap opera heard on NBC from 1933 to 1949 and on CBS from 1942 to 1960. Between 1942 and 1949, the show was heard simultaneously on both networks. The series is widely credited with giving birth to storytelling and content-based advertising.

Cory agrees to help Liz by taking Roscoe downtown and drop him somewhere. 

Later, the phone rings and George asks if he can bring a friend home for dinner - a new acquaintance named Roscoe Miller.  

LIZ: “We’ve been held over, Katie. We’ve got to give a repeat show for the West Coast!” 

This inside joke refers to the fact that live radio (and later television) shows had to be done twice to account for the time difference. Once for the East Coast and again for the West Coast. Technology would soon make such reprises unnecessary. 

Katie urges Liz to call George back and tell him the truth. When she tries, the phone is being used by a party line with Lucy and Bessie gossiping non-stop. 

A Party Line is a local loop telephone circuit that is shared by multiple subscribers. Party line systems were used to provide telephone service starting with the first commercial switchboards in 1878. Party lines provided no privacy and were frequently used as a source of entertainment and gossip. Objections about one party monopolizing a line were common and eavesdropping remained an ongoing concern. By the end of the 20th century, party lines had been phased out in the United States.  A party line would also be featured in “Redecorating” (ILL S2;E8) where one of the gabby partiers is also played by Florence Halop!  

If she can just get through on the phone, Liz will tell George she has lockjaw and can’t entertain guests.  When Liz is finally able to get the women to hang up, George has already left the bank. 

Cory comes back to say he’s completed his task, but Liz tells him that they’ve met up and he needs to find them and head them off.  

When George and Roscoe pull up to the Cugat home, Roscoe realizes George is Adolph Jensen!  He tells George that he’s about to be reunited with his long-lost wife!  When he opens the door, Liz and Katie both pretend George is Adolph.  Roscoe asks about Adolph’s six (or seven, according to Katie) children. 

George insists that he’s George Cugat, not Adolph Jensen. Saved by the (door) bell!  It is Cory, answering the door Liz the maid has a moment to whisper in his ear to play along.

LIZ: “Why, Adolph!  Don’t you recognize him?  Your eldest son!” GEORGE: “Cory!  Say something!” CORY: “Daddy!” 

Later, George and Liz are relieved that everything ended well. George reports that Roscoe bought a lot of bonds from him. Liz reasons that then he can afford to buy her a new fur coat.  He suddenly fiens amnesia. She does too!

LIZ: “I’m not Liz. I’m Mrs. Jensen. Give me a kiss, Adolph.”
