[78-L] "House Party" ^

[Taylor Bowie]

Careful,  Cary...Art is still going strong at age 97 and he might chase you 
down and give you a good thrashing!

Has anybody else seen the movie "Champagne for Caesar" with Ronald Colman, 
Celeste Holm and Vincent Price?  In the movie Art plays a TV game show host 
and he gives  a very funny and self-satiric performance.

When I was little my fave shows were The Untouchables and M-Sqaud,  which my 
mother didn't like me to watch.   Now I have all the M-Squads on DVD,  and 
the entire first two seasons of The Untouchables as well.  They are still 
great...and M Sqaud has all that cool music as well.

Taylor
