Page 6 6 THAT OTHER MUSEUM… Mayberry fans the world over have heard of The Andy Griffith Museum in his hometown of Mount Airy.

Anyone who has spent time in the big cities such as New York, Boston, or Atlanta, or even in the larger metropolitan areas of North Carolina, such as Raleigh or Charlotte, will tell you Mount Airy is, in many ways, truly Mayberry.

It wasn’t always so. Humble beginnings Yvonne Nichols, who has organized the event for nearly half of its 51-year run, said it began with a twofold purpose; to cel- ebrate the harvest in a community that was still largely agrar- ian at the time of the festival’s inception; and to take advan- tage of the fact that hundreds of thousands of leaf watchers were traveling nearby highways, meandering along the Blue 151 Granite Quarry Trial, Mount Airy, NC 27030 Ridge Parkway to see the brilliant fall foliage.

    Spring 2021 MayberryMAGAZINE Mayberry Man Andy Griffith Show Movie nearing release A star comes to visit Andy Finds Himself Mayberry Trivia College opened new Test your knowledge world What’s Happening? Comprehensive calendar ISSUE 30 Table of Contents Cover Story — Finally here? Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, work on the much ballyhooed Mayberry Man movie has continued, working around delays, postponements, and schedule changes. Now, the movie is just a few months away from release to its supporters, and hopefully, a public debut not too long afterward. Page 8 Andy finds himself He certainly wasn’t the first student to attend the University of North Carolina, nor the last, but Andy Griffith found an outlet for his creative talents at the venerable state institution, finding himself, and his career path, at the school. Page 4 Guest stars galore Being a guest star on “The Andy Griffith Show” could be a launching pad for young actors, and even already established stars sometimes wanted the chance to work with the cast and crew there. But it was Jean Hagen, driving a fast car and doing some smooth talking, who was the first established star to grace the set. Page 6 What To Do, What To Do… The pandemic put a halt to many shows and events over the course of 2020, but there might very well be a few concerts, shows, and events stirring in Mount Airy — the real-life Mayberry — this spring and summer.

In this scene from Julius Caesar, the varied responses of the crowd members to Caesar’s death give the scene more depth.

For most students of drama, this is the moment you have been waiting for. You probably share the dream of every actor to create a role so convincing that the audience totally accepts your character as real, for- getting that you are only an actor playing a part. You must work hard to be an effective actor, but acting should never be so real that the audience loses the theatrical illu- sion of reality. Theater is not life, and acting is not life. Both are illusions that are larger than life.

  • What Should We Ask For?
    7/12/2015 What Should We Ask For? A sermon by the Rev. Dr. Thee Smith Proper 10 – Year B The king said to the girl . "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom." She went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" Mark 6:22-24 Today we hear a similar invitation from our King; King Jesus. Listen as he offers again to give ‘whatever we ask in his name,’ just as he so generously offered us in John 14:13); even offering us his kingdom of the beloved community. The only pertinent question for us is, ‘What should we ask for?’ Like the young girl in today’s gospel we get to ask, ‘What should we ask for?’ And providentially our epistle appointed for today provides a checklist of answers to that question. But more about that later! Before we go there I’m going to take a minute to build a little suspense here. It’s about a humorous expression that connects to today’s gospel. You’ve likely heard it before. But I’ve been unable to find an origin for it. Whenever a source for something like this eludes me in my college courses I like to ask my students to research it for me. Maybe, if it catches your interest too, you’ll indulge me and see what you can find. I’ve found a couple of celebrities who have used it in their work: the author Ron Hall and Atlanta comedian, Jeff Foxworthy; also some musicians who include it in their lyrics.

  • CLASSIC TV and FAITH: IV - the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW ‘PRIDE GOETH BEFORE the FALL!’” Karen F
    “CLASSIC TV AND FAITH: IV - THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW ‘PRIDE GOETH BEFORE THE FALL!’” Karen F. Bunnell Elkton United Methodist Church July 29, 2012 Proverbs 16:1-5, 18-20 Luke 12: 32-34 Anybody here watch the British Open golf tournament on television last weekend? Well, I did and it was something that I and the millions of others who watched it will never forget. Why? Because there was a golfer, a very gifted young golfer by the name of Adam Scott, who was playing unbelievable golf - I mean, on Saturday the announcers kept saying, “He’s giving a clinic on how to play golf.” He was doing everything right. Going into the last day, he had a pretty good lead, and going into the last part of the last round, he was up by four strokes. That’s huge! And then, he fell apart. Bogey after bogey after bogey, until on the very last hole, he missed a putt - and lost the whole thing! It was one of the greatest collapses in golf history! It was incredibly sad, and took the bloom off the rose for Ernie Els, who ended up winning, but who also is a good friend of Adam Scott. He couldn’t completely rejoice, because he felt so bad for his friend. It reminded me of something I once read about that had happened to the great Arnold Palmer a number of years ago. It was the final hole of the 1961 Masters Tournament and Palmer had a one-stroke lead. He had just hit a great tee shot off of the 18th tee, the last hole, and was walking down the fairway to hit his next shot.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

  • Excerpt from a Cuban in Mayberry
    Interlude THE ROAD TO MAYBERRY Nobody's from no place. ANDY TAYLOR, " STRANGER IN TOWN" (1.1_2) HE DEBUT EPISODE OF THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW T was broadcast on October 3, 1960. Two weeks later, in Havana, my family's food wholesaling business-we called it el almacen, the warehouse-was confiscated by the Castro regime. A few days after that, on October 24, 1960, I left Cuba with my parents, my two brothers, and my sister on an overnight ferry to Key West called, of all things, The City of Havana. I was eleven years old. My parents were in their late thirties. That evening CBS broadcast the fourth epi­ sode of TAGS, "Ellie Comes to Town." It strikes me as fitting and a little eerie that as Ellie was settling into Mayberry, I was beginning my own road to the Friendly Town. The story of how I became an undocumented Mayberrian, the town's resident alien, began on that Monday. Like hundreds of thousands of other Cubans, we settled in Miami. Except that we didn't truly settle, since we were planning to return to Cuba to pick up where the island's turbulent history had left us off. We saw ourselves as people passing through, transients rather than settlers. Unlike immigrants, we didn't come to America looking for a better life. We had a good one in Cuba. America was a rest stop before we turned around and headed back home. The im­ migrant lives in the fast lane. He is in a hurry-in a hurry to get a job, learn the language, lay down roots.
