I'd say it's a marked improvement.

Especially considering Hazel's frequent obligation to make "Mr. B" feel much smarter than he was behaving! :?

This is simply fabulous news. I will add it to the links on my site, to be sure.

I hope one day to have a full-featured web site for Agnes at that address, as you have for Mr. Valentino. For now it's just a blog, but it's a start. :)
If you'd see the first iteration of my site which was coded by me, poor Rudy sure deserved better. :-) Mine's not even close to being done, and I'm already thinking I need a redesign...UGH

I will look forward to the new Agnes site. Speaking of which, is The Blue Veil available? I've never seen it, but I love she, and Charles Laughton.

PT -

Are you speaking of the First Drama Quartette? Charles Laughton, Agnes Moorhead, Charles Boyer, and Cedric Hardwicke presented Don Juan in Hell as a reader's theater in the fifties. They toured the United States and Europe with it. My dad has a record album of it, and it was exceedingly popular.

That is so sad! It's almost worse than never getting it at all.

I'm sorry to say that he doesn't have The Psalms of David.

He did tell me that Agnes Moorhead went to his school - Soldan High in St. Louis, Mo. - long before he went there, of course. Virginia Mayo was also an alumna, but she was a few years before him too.

Well, I suppose she could have gone to Soldan, but then moved to Central before graduation.... my dad probably wouldn't know whether she completed all four years at Soldan.
