mary poppins

i had a great time, yesterday afternoon, taking my niece...and a cousin's son (both, eight), to see 'mary poppins' in the movie theater

two of my favorite songs

here's the movie-clip -- french version -- that's the verion my friend rima told me, today, she first heard -- i think, when she was a child -- presumably, in baghdad -- i'll ask her [just found out -- not, while in baghdad]

rima's taking her son, soon, to the play, in vienna -- probably, in deutsch

'feed the birds'

came across a maygar version -- maygar subtitles, that is -- amazing,...the worldwide appeal of this

'carousel,' from lincoln center

last night, i watched most of 'carousel,' from lincoln center -- i just watched the beginning, on pbs's web-site -- very nice -- very nicely done

groucho follow-up -- new and old

i attended the great musical '1776,' in pittsburgh, a couple of weeks ago, and, playing the role of james wilson was jeremy czarniak

in his bio, it says he created the one-man show 'groucho: a life in review' -- i'd love to see that -- it says he's doing it in the sullivan theater in north carolina, this spring -- from his web-site, that looks like it's in fayetteville, and it's the only upcoming production i could find of the show -- too bad

anyone wanna go to...carolina? -- 'gone to carolina, in my mind'

okay -- so now, here's...the real groucho -- a few...snippets -- actually, clips -- good-sized...clips

first, groucho, in top form -- as a panelist, on 'what's my line?'

another gem -- this time, he's the mystery guest

another...classic groucho -- here, roasting johnny carson

a few weekends ago, i spent hours, watching clips...from his 'you bet your life' -- loved it -- love it, still

'say the magic word, you win a hundred dollars'

there are scores of videos...from the show, on youtube

here's a clip -- not from 'you bet your life,' but from 'the jack benny show'
