Thank you so much for the happy little Easter mice. I went to the flower shop before Easter and spent all my grocery $ on flowers. Every room was filled and it was really worth it--until they all died that is--then I wanted my $ back! I'm in for a Saturday evening (make that Friday!)-Actually I'm in for the whole weekend. A little gardening. Some movies on TV and some music and wine. Wish you were here to share it. All sorts of repairs going on with the last big storm we had. About $5000.00 worth! They were all things that would have needed it sooner or later. I can hardly wait to read the Gary Crosby book! The whole bit of being crucified after passing on makes success a little less appealing. Kathy Crosby has a book out too. Hope all is well in Gotham. Love" The feature film appearances ofAron Kincaid (1940-2011) extended from beach movies, beginning with Girls on the Beach (1970) to the slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night (1974).

Theatre World, founded in 1945 by Daniel Blum, is America's oldest annual record of Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theatre, referenced by industry professionals, historians, students and theatre fans worldwide. Until 1998, when a separate nonprofit corporation was established, Theatre World's editorial staff bestowed the prestigious Theatre World Awards for outstanding Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts. Screen World (from 1950) and Dance World (from 1966), administered from the same office, furnished comprehensive information on those entertainment genres. John A. Willis (1916-2010), active in Theatre World from the beginning, became its chief editor in 1965, holding that position until 2008. Willis is regarded as one of the foremost theatre and film historians of the 20th century. While producing (and presenting) the annual Theatre World Awards, Willis also served on the nominating committee for the Tony Awards. Theatre World, which received its own Tony for Excellence in Theatre in 2001, continues under chief editor Ben Hodges. Normal mailing folds. Small tear in top margin of second page. Fine condition.
