By Ashley Lee Scott Ora was 8 years old when he first visited the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1965. After watching a matinee with his grandfather at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, he and his brother ran outside onto the Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk and began to read off each name. “Do you know who this is?” he repeatedly asked his grandfather, who couldn’t be stumped. It helped that he was asking the legendary Broadway and Hollywood lyricist Leo Robin, known for the 1938 song “Thanks for the Memory.” At every coral terrazzo star they found, Robin shared an anecdote about the person, punctuating each story with the same compliment: “She is great.” ... “He is great.” Ora grew up knowing that his grandfather was also one of the greats. What he didn’t know is that years later he’d be tangled in a still-unresolved back-and-forth with the Walk of Fame to get it set in stone. The song “Thanks for the Mem- ory,” written for “The Big Broad- cast of 1938,” the last in a series of Paramount Pictures variety-show movies, is a nuanced number, en- compassing an estranged couple’s enduring love. Six writers had tried and failed at the assignment before director Mitchell Leisen gave it to in-house lyricist Robin and com- poser Ralph Rainger.

The lyrics take on a satirical twist that reminds us of the present political times especially with the 2020 Presidential election taking place in less than a month, "You'll be happy with 'im, Take my advice, And vote for Mister Rhythm, I'm voting twice!" This song has nothing to do with the politics of voting irregularities and abuses but everything to do with the spirit about jazz music and a call to "Vote for Mr. Rhythm." read://https_www.accesswire.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.accesswire.com%2Fviewarticle.aspx%3Fid%3D609023%26token%3Drk46boa982c1k… 1/5 1/20/2021 Leo Robin Music's Message to the People: "Vote for Mr. Rhythm" and to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce: Stop Disenfranchisin… A 19 year old Ella Fitzgerald with Chick Webb and his Orchestra … A 19 year old Ella Fitzgerald with Chick Webb and his Orchestra of a recording in 1936 of "Vote for Mr.

  • Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980
    Bob Hope at the National Press Club, July 8, 1980 Bob Hope (right) with White House photographer Andrew J. “Buck” May (left), July 1980. National Press Club Archives Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) treated journalists at a National Press Club luncheon on July 8, 1980, to jokes he planned to deliver later in the week during performances at Washington’s Kennedy Center Concert Hall. As part of a summer tour that coincided with the 1980 presidential election campaign, Hope’s appearances at the Press Club and Kennedy Center gave audiences the opportunity to hear the legendary funnyman gently, but pointedly, skewer those in power, a talent he had perfected since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency. When Hope appeared in March 1944 at the White House Correspondents Association dinner at the Statler Hotel—the annual political roast hosted by the Washington press corps—and left Roosevelt roaring with laughter, the syndicated columnist Richard Wilson announced that a new era had begun. “The gap left by the death of [political humorist] Will Rogers has been filled,” Wilson wrote. “Bob Hope has stepped into his shoes. From now on he will be sought in Washington to provide that extra touch at the capital’s lavish public functions.” Hope’s Press Club appearance came during the final phases of a career that spanned most of the twentieth century. The entertainment historian and critic Leonard Maltin has noted that Hope “may be the most popular entertainer in the history of Western civilization.” A versatile performer—in addition to comedy, he excelled as a singer and dancer—Hope began in vaudeville in the 1920s, gained prominence on the Broadway musical stage during the 1930s, and became one of the nation’s top radio 1 and movie stars in the 1940s.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard In 1973, a 117 year-old tradition ended in New Orleans with a ban on parading through the streets of the French Quarter. It was also the year comedian and actor Bob Hope reigned as Bacchus V in “Bacchus Goes To The Movies”. Bob’s theme song, which was introduced in the "Big Broadcast of 1938" (in a duet with Shirley Ross), was “Thanks for the Memory” (words and music by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger). Many traditions have ended in the Crescent City, while many are here to stay. So …. Thanks for the Memory Thanks for the memory, Of Hansen’s Sno-Bliz Stand, the Bucktown All-Stars Band, Liuzza’s lunch and Benny Grunch, and weren’t those grillades grand? How thrilling it was! Thanks for the memory, The Proteus parade, the night the Nevilles played, The étouffée, café au lait and mayhem Morgus made, How crazy it was! Many's the time that we feasted, And Lent was the time that we fasted. And oh how sublime while it lasted! We did have fun and no harm done. So thanks for the memory, When Comus rolled at night, lit up by flambleaux’s light, Those po-boys dressed were just the best, and boy that Barq’s had bite. So thank you so much. Thanks for the memory, The Fair Grounds for a race, and Dixie by the case, That Mardi Gras when first you saw my eye-patched pirate face. How magic it was! We had some drinks over gumbo, My words tumbled out mumbo jumbo.

Featuring intricate designs and thematic images, the covers enhanced eye appeal and attracted interest. The music was arranged primarily for piano and included lyrics. From about World War I on, many covers included photographs of composers or performing artists, a trend that continued well into the 20th century. The covers helped promote sales of music and contributed to the popularity of individual songs, many of which were composed for Broadway shows and later also for motion picture musicals. Popularity was also heightened, especially during the 1930s and 1940s, by the performance of songs at live concerts and as dance music by orchestras such as those of Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman. In addition, songs were heard on radio broadcasts, phonograph records, and in films.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
