| I went to Ameoba Records today for their 4th of July sale, got to talking with the cashier--a woman pushing sixty like me. She remarked on my Al Hirschfeld bag and the cast albums I was buying, saying her granddaughter was a theatre major and her aunt wrote musicals years ago. "what did she write?" quoth I. "She did a version of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST. I'm forgetting the title, but there was this song: 'A handbag, a handbag is not a proper mother.'" "ERNEST IN LOVE," I replied. "Anne Croswell." The cashier stares at me like I'm from Mars. "I was just playing that last week," I said. "I especially like 'The Muffin Song." "She did another one," the cashier added, "TOVARICH." "Vivian Leigh," I countered. At this point, she literally clasped her hands together over her heart. "I'm so glad you came to my register. My aunt's dead, but I'm going to tell my uncle about you. He'll be so thrilled someone remembers her." Laura, off for the ritual screening of 1776 |
