One of the features included in that historic 1939 TV broadcast was a scene from the Broadway play Mamba’s Daughters by DuBose Heyward. Georgette Harvey, Ethel Waters, & Fredi Washington reprised their roles. Here they are at the Empire Theatre in a publicity shot for the play a few months earlier.

Yoy remembered! 🥰

David Niven is priceless in #BluebeardsEighthWife! It’s one of my favorite roles for him. So funny! Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert, and Edward Everett Horton are all perfect as well, but David Niven steals the scenes he’s in, or at least most of them! #Lubitsch

Love the recap 🤣

That’s excellent news!! Hopefully the schedule is the accurate one, not the list. Thanks so much for letting me know!

The full title of Beston’s book is “The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod.” I just learned about it by searching for the above quote after seeing it in @maudkeen.bsky.social’s bio. Such beautiful words! Available to read free:

I was unable to watch, but here’s one of my old screenshots for comparison to whatever aspect ratio they aired. You’ll probably need to expand to see the full width. Not sure how it will display on here. #TheHelenMorganStory #TCMParty #RichardCarlson
