What part of Kent?

Excellent! (Try Naughty Marietta too).

Jeanette wasn't in Phantom. His co-star was a young ingenue named Susannah Foster (possibly still in her teens in 1942).

You'll find that it's very, very different from the Lloyd Webber musical, and very different from the original book. Claude Rains is very much the star.......except, of course, for that magnificent baritone Eddy voice. :o)

The underground set in it is the same one they used in the silent movie Lon Cheney version.

My introduction to the "Phantom" was a black and white horror movie when I was about 13. I don't know which version it was but my best friend was into stuff like that and would drag me to theaters or look this stuff up on TV when I was staying the night. It kind of freaked me out, the version I saw as a child, so I wasn't very interested in seeing the 2004 version. I'm glad I saw the previews because taking it from horror to music, and adapting the story, made it so much more interesting.

Do you know which album babs sang "All I Ask of You" on? I'd like to listen to the audio clip at amazon.com.

[GretchenM]

Well lookee here! Amazon.com has the sound track out!

The Phantom of the Opera

[GretchenM]

Just listened to all the clips of Phantom at amazon. When I got to the one they title "Down Once More / Track down This Murderer" (I would title it "Wishing You Were Here") from the graveyard scene, I got teary all over again. It got to me both times at the movie and I think anyone who has lost a loved one many years before would have a hard time not being affected by it. "Wishing I could hear your voice again," just really chokes me up.

The silent version was REALLY scary. Lon Cheney looked awful..........I'm sure that's the one you saw, and I don't blame you for not wanting to see another one! (The '42 version isn't that bad).

And about that Amazon........I know what younger daughter is going to get for her 4.0 grade card!

(She's obsessed!)

I'm not sure but I think I might have gotten the location wrong.

I'm really looking at a city in I think it's called Norfolk. I need to look it up on a map of England.

I'm surprised the President lets Barney loose at night. I have a black cat who sits in the dark hall at night, guarding me I suppose, and I've tripped over her many times. If the light catches her eyes she's visible, otherwise, black is black. That's why I thought maybe the President was carrying Barney but sounds like you saw what was really going on. I just love that relationship between dog and his master. The President loves him and Barney eats it up. As it should be.

Norfolk is a county and the main city there is Norwich and it is nowhere near Kent where I live. Norfolk is in an area called the Fenns. It is a lovely area though I have not visited Norfolk but I Suffolk which is the next county. Kent is South East England and Suffolk and Norfolk is East Anglia so is East England so to speak.

[Pippin]

I new it! LOL!

I'm forever an Easterner! HEE! HEE!

So were my ancestors! :o)

[snugs]

Hello "Easterner" if you can find out more details of where in East Anglian your ancestors came then I will see what info I can find out for you about the actual town(s)etc.

Lovely speech today by Dick Cheney in Poland just found an excert of it on Yahoo.

****"The death camps were created by men with a high opinion of themselves — some of them well-educated and possessed of refined manners — but without conscience," he said. "And where there is no conscience, there is no tolerance toward others ... no defense against evil ... and no limit to the crimes that follow." *****

This truly says it as it was not sugar coated and pretend they were ignorant men that knew no better.

[Pippin]

Thaqnks, Snugs!

I'll get out my records so far and tell you what I can.

Thanks for the excerpt from VP Cheney's speach in Poland.

Isn't he awesome! :o)
