Mae West: Chill Chaser

Read the words of MAE WEST to fight the winter chill.
• • When Lillian Schissel edited "Three Plays by Mae West" [published by Routledge in 1997], this was the first time Sex, The Drag, and The Pleasure Man had been printed in PLAY form. Thought to be lost, the original manuscripts were sleeping at the Library of Congress. After prolonged legal wrangling with the Roger Richman Agency of Los Angeles, who at the time represented the Mae West receivership estate, a deal was finally struck to have the plays published.
• • In her introduction, Lillian Schissel argues that West provided one of the first role models for women suggesting they could be independent and achieve success following through on their own ambitions.
• • Mae West was, without question, one of the most famous and controversial figures of her era. She was a tough-talking, wise-cracking vaudeville performer who made her way onto the Broadway stage and then into the hearts of the American public with a highly visible Hollywood film career. Rarely, however, do people think of Mae West as a writer even though she wrote eight scripts for the stage and her own dialogue for many of her films.
• • In Three Plays By Mae West, Lillian Schlissel brings this underexplored part of West's career to the fore by offering for the first time in book form, three of the plays West wrote in the 1920s -- Sex (1926), The Drag (1927), and Pleasure Man (1928). Schlissel's introduction offers insight to the life and early career of this legendary stage and screen actress.

Mae West: Strings Attached

There are strings attached to MAE WEST - - the marionette made by Michael Baroto in Burbank, California.
• • This one-of-a-kind puppet has an animated mouth.
• • Mae West is strung to move from side to side. And special strings move one hand to her hip, and one to her head. From the photographs, this figure seems to be very detailed with rhinestones and sequins. [Measurements are 35 inches without strings.]
• • This colorful marionette is being offered on Ebay. The seller indicates this item comes with a Mae West music CD and radio show CDs.
• • No takers so far. Maybe there are too many strings attached to living with Mae. . . .

Mae West: Presidential

Who will you vote for? Obama, Hillary, or Mae West!

In 1959, a few months before Mae West's autobiography would be published, The Las Vegas Sun ran a spoof headline about the presidential race between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Which new candidate would be campaigning to run the White House? Mae West was about to launch her "third party" bid from the Sahara Hotel, said the Sun, all in fun. How many think that Mae West probably would have done a better job on Pennsylvania Avenue than actor Ronald Reagan did?
• • Maybe you can't vote for an actress in November, however, you CAN enjoy several books about Mae West. Many are available at a nice price via Ebay.

Mae West: Hollywood

As the news crews gather in Los Angeles for the annual Academy Awards affair, what is there to say about MAE WEST?
• • • • In her bestseller "From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies," Molly Haskell discussed the Mae West persona. Haskell wrote: "Unlike other stars, whom we think of in the context of specific films, her image, complete with body language and voice, lifts buoyantly out of celluloid into space like the inflatable life preserver that was named after her in World War II. She's a pneumatic floozy presiding over an army of panting camp followers, a Catherine the Great from Brooklyn, a Salome who adds on the layers instead of shedding them, a Cleopatra whose infinite variety is debatable."
• • • • According to Molly Haskell: For years Mae West tried to promote a film about Catherine the Great, in which she would offer a warmer and more sensual alternative to what she described as Dietrich's "hollow-cheeked doll." Although Mae West finally succeeded in launching an unfunny Broadway play on the subject of the czarina, for most of her career she was in fact playing a bawdy, carnivalesque version of Catherine, surrounded by an "honor guard" of admirers. See her, as the lion-tamer in "I'm No Angel,"entering atop an elephant, wearing a white spangled jumpsuit. Looking at her now, we can't but applaud this middle-aged woman (she was 40 when she made her first film), undisguisedly rotund, flaunting an unliposuctioned, unsiliconed body and demanding her sexual privileges!
• • • • With unshakable confidence, she seems to have hungered for the spotlight from infancy, and when she got a chance to make her song-and-dance debut at the age of 7, she took it and never stopped showing off.... [Excerpt from an essay by Molly Haskell published in August 1993 in The New York Times.] Molly Haskell is the author of "From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies."

Mae West: DeMille

Many men looked at MAE WEST — — but Oscar never glanced once in her direction. In filmland, Mae West secured no nominations for acting. And her financially successful movies for Paramount scored no Oscar wins.
• • However, just in time for the Academy Awards ceremony comes this mention of Mae West when film preservationist Cecilia DeMille Presley was honored by Chapman University on Friday, the 23rd of February, in Indian Wells.
• • The Desert Sun noted that the granddaughter of former Paramount Studios Chief Cecil B. DeMille, who splits her time between Los Angeles and the Palm Springs, California desert, was honored for her gift of extraordinarily rare film-related art to Chapman University's new $42 million Marion Knott Studios within the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.
• • The collection includes art for MAE WEST films, John Wayne films, and also pieces in media ranging from animation cells to rare stills, poster art, and storyboards.

Mae West: Shame Game

MAE WEST sashayed through Marina Hyde's column in The Guardian during the month of February. The British columnist was inveighing against this topic: "Shamelessness: the TV route to rehabilitation."
• • Observing that "Broadcasters have a superpower - - and seem increasingly complacent about the way in which they are excercising it," Marina Hyde scolded Channel 4 and other networks. Hyde added: "Shame, one mused, dragging the word from some cobwebbed memory hole. Didn't you hear they found the antidote to that? It's called television."
• • According to Ms Hyde, the concept of disgrace as a career opportunity is not especially new. "I expect it will be the making of me," Mae West purred in 1927 of her arrest on vice charges relating to her play Sex, and indeed it was. But it has never been easier to bounce back, and TV is the primary redemptive force. ... Reality TV pays better even than Mohammed Fayed, it seems ...."

Mae West: New Orleans

When a St. Louis woman comes down to New Orleans, it doesn't matter if Mardi Gras has passed because a new party is in town: Ruby Carter - - played by MAE WEST.
• • Originally, the male lead for "It Ain't No Sin" [re-titled "Belle of the Nineties" and released in September 1934] was to be George Raft. However, 33-year-old Roger Pryor [1901-1974] - - dubbed "the poor man's Clark Gable" - - got the role of the boxer called the Tiger Kid.
• • Though Karl Struss was the cinematographer who worked on "Belle of the Nineties," this photograph of Mae West at ringside was taken by a master portraitist who shot many Hollywood stars and other celebrities: George Hoyningen-Huené.
• • Baron George Hoyningen-Huené, who segued into the darkroom when he met his lover Horst, was born on 4 September 1900 in Russia to a nobleman.
• • Hoyningen-Huené, behind a camera before anything resembling contemporary flash photography was known, achieved wonderful effects in black and white.
• • George Hoyningen-Huené died, age 68, in Los Angeles on 12 September 1968.

Mae West: Man Fook

MAE WEST knew men but she also had a special place in her heart for Man Fook Low. In Los Angeles, her favorite Oriental eatery was Man Fook Low in Market Chinatown, one of the first places to feature the dumplings now known as dim sum.
• • In the 1930s, Hollywood started patronizing the top Chinatown restaurants. Repeat attenders included chopstick-wielders such as Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet, Walt Disney, and the Marx Brothers. During the Depression, when movie people could afford to eat well at a time when many Americans were jobless, the West Coast gossip columns and movie magazines would mention Tuey Far Low alongside showbiz hang-outs such as the Brown Derby, Sardi's, and the Coconut Grove. (Tuey Far Low courted customers by staying open until 5 A.M.)
• • Celebrities also flocked to Man Jen Low and the Dragon's Den.
• • In Mae's opinion, however, Man Fook Low was THE PLACE for "authentic" Chinese chow. In 1959 their shui mai dumplings were 35 cents each.
• • The Lunar Year 2007 begins the year of the pig.

Mae West: NBC Radio - Feb. 1950

MAE WEST was invited to guest-star a few times with Perry Como on his popular NBC radio show.
• • On 16 February 1950 Mae was heard coast-to-coast with the Italian-American barber turned crooner on his "Chesterfield Supper Club."
• • Newsweek and other publications gave the details of Mae's splendid diamond lavaliere and tourniquet-tight white spangled evening gown.
• • Last week, noted Newsweek, Mae West "sidled onto the stage of NBC's studio 8-H in Radio City . . . this time, in a script with all possible blue bleached out."
• • In a playful spin on Shakespeare, Perry played "Comeo" and Mae was "Juliet."

Mae West: "Break a leg"

On 26 February 1949, Mae West broke her ankle, endng an engagement at the Coronet Theatre [230 West 49th Street, a Broadway playhouse later renamed for Eugene O'Neill].
• • The revival of "Diamond Lil" had begun on 5 February.
• • Mae sued Manhattan's Chatham Hotel over a "defective" bathtub that caused her fall. The actress requested compensation of $250,000. Naturally, the cancellation of a show in any legitimate theatre - - where each actor has a union contract - - is a big expense, not to mention the box-office losses.
• • Unlike Americans, Italians would never say to an actor "break a leg." The Italian expression is "take the wolf" - - tengo il lupo.

Mae West: Aimee-able

On 19 February 1927 Mae West went to a party at Texas Guinan's latest speakeasy for visitor Aimee Semple McPherson [1890-1944].
• • The night club queen had had an unusally busy day - - having just been released from jail after being held for nine hours - - but she was her usual vivacious self when she introduced the nation's most famous evangelist to her revellers.
• • Right before showing up at the speak, Aimee had just told an S.R.O. crowd at the Glad Tidings Tabernacle (West 33rd Street) that she was in the city to purge it of sin, support Prohibition, prevent the teaching of evolution, promote prayer and Bible reading, and speak out against "dirt" plays.
• • It's assumed that Mae West applauded politely when all the attendees were encouraged to "give this little gal a big hand" by Guinan.
• • However, on 15 February 1927 there had been a hearing against "Sex" in the Magistrate's Court, closely followed by The New York Times and other newspapers. Uh-oh! Mae watched the storm clouds gather over her Broadway career.

Mae West: Withholding

MAE WEST earned a lot of money and, no doubt, paid a lot of taxes. If you are taking advantage of the long President's Birthday holiday to get started on your IRS forms, be inspired by the actress's quotes about "portable property."
• • There are no withholding taxes on the wages of sin.
• • Don't come crawlin' to a man for love - - he likes to get a run for his money.
• • No gold-digging for me... I take diamonds! We may be off the gold standard someday.
• • Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.

Mae West: February 1949

MAE WEST fused herself to the persona of "Diamond Lil" like no other character she had ever played.
• • In the month of February, a Broadway revival of "Diamond Lil" opened at the Coronet Theatre [5 February 1949 — 26 February 1949]. This hugely successful revival was interrupted, alas, after a few weeks. Mae West broke her ankle on February 26, causing performances to halt.
• • This is the reaction of The New York Times's drama critic. His column [below] was published on 7 February 1949.
• • • • Mae West Back in Town as 'Diamond Lil' • • • •
• • Gallantly supported by four or five handsome, muscular leading men, Mae West has brought "Diamond Lil" back to New York, where it began its renowned career twenty-one years ago. She wriggled through it at the Coronet on Saturday evening, attired in some of the gaudiest finery of the century — — the femme fatale of the Bowery, bowling her leading men over one by one with her classical impersonation of a story-book strumpet.
• • When Miss West restored her study of society to America last November, a bus-load of the Broadway nightwatch rolled out to Montclair, New Jersey to pay their respects to her artistry. It must be confessed that "Diamond Lil" is a tough play to see twice in one season. Any fairly observant theatre-goer can penetrate its subtleties with a single visit. It does not take long to understand what Miss West has in mind.
• • But she is a fabulous performer and her saloon singer is an incredible creation — — a triumph of nostalgic vulgarity. She is always in motion. The snaky walk, the torso wriggle, the stealthy eyes, the frozen smile, the flat, condescending voice, the queenly gestures — — these are studies in slow motion, and they have to be seen to be believed. Lazy, confident of her charms, Diamond Lil does not move fast, but she never stands still; and Miss West paces her performance accordingly.
• • There is an attitude of sublime fatalism about the whole business. Miss West extends her hand to be kissed with royal assurance. Even in the clinches she is monumentally disinterested, and she concludes her love scenes with a devastating wise-crack before they are started. Although Miss West is the goddess of sex, it might reasonably be argued that she scrupulously keeps sex out of her acting by invariably withdrawing from anything but the briefest encounters. "Diamond Lil" is a play about the world of sex, but there is very little sex in it.
• • Like an old dime novel, it is full of crime, drink and iniquity. After beating about the bush for two sluggish acts, it settles down hospitably into an old-fashioned vaudeville show in the last act; and Miss West, billowy and swaying at the piano, sings a few sinful ballads in a small voice but with plenty of style. It is performing in the grand manner.
• • After thoughtfully studying her performance twice in a little over two months, this reviewer is still puzzled over one thing. Is Miss West serious or is she kidding? Not that it matters. She is obviously a good trouper, which is probably the reason she has been able to hold this ramshackle melodrama together for twenty-one years.

Mae West: near Pittsburgh

MAE WEST has been enlisted to help raise funds in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening 17 February 2007.
• • For one night only, Greensburg's Palace Theatre will return to the colorful days of the flappers, the Charleston, MAE WEST, and silent film notables like Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo. "Hollywood Party at the Palace," a fundraiser for the Westmoreland Cultural Trust this Saturday, toasts the 80th anniversary of the Palace Theatre [near Pittsburgh] and pays tribute to the "Roaring '20s."
• • Opened in 1926, as the Manos Theatre, the Palace was built in a Neo-Renaissance style, complete with marble imported from Greece for the lobby walls, murals in the main auditorium, decorative plasterwork, and elegant crystal chandeliers. Mae West movies were a great favorite here during the Depression.
• • After a long life as a movie house, the Manos was reopened in 1991 as the Palace Theatre Center for the Performing Arts and has been in the midst of a three phase restoration project which will bring the theater back to its original beauty.
• • The Palace is noteworthy for its gorgeous lightbulb-lit marquee with a sunrise motif, and the theater's name in blazing neon underneath.
• • Margaret Colosimo, co-chairwoman of the event taking place at the Palace with Pamela DeMezza, says the party is "a takeoff on Oscars night, with all the ballyhoo, lights, photographers, and the red carpet. When guests enter, they are the stars."This is the second year for the Hollywood party fundraiser. Last year's event raised more than $30,000 for the Trust, according to Colosimo.
• • Tony Marino, artistic director, and Christine Rizk, executive director and producer of Stage Right professional theater company in Greensburg, have coordinated the local talent to fill the roles of MAE WEST, W.C.Fields, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, and other performers who were seen onscreen in early films shown at the Manos Theatre, the movie house that opened in September 1926 at the site of the current Palace Theatre.
• • Continuous entertainment will take place in various areas of the theater, starting with the grand stairway. "The whole evening is a great chance to get dressed up and have a good time," Marino says. Guests are encouraged to interact with the Hollywood characters and, if they choose, to come dressed in period-style clothing. The event is "black-tie optional," he says. Colosimo says last year's Hollywood party attracted 220 guests; the committee predicts that as many as 300 will attend on Saturday.

Mae West: Big O

It's time for the big O. MAE WEST never took Oscar to bed - - that cold gold-plated statuette - - but there are a lot of people heading to "Oscar country" in time for the 79th Annual Academy Awards. And the Los Angeles tour guides are ready.
• • If you're en route to California, you can come up and see Mae and her friends on a junket called "Dearly Departed." A Director of Undertakings, who has researched “a scary amount of knowledge about all things Hollywood” [according to a recent independent Viator user review], ushers travelers through decades of death, murder, and fun during this excursion. Prices for the Dearly Departed Tour start at $35.00. Scenes frequented by the famous and infamous are explored, as well as the "final scene" for many an actor including MAE WEST, Frank Sinatra, River Phoenix, Bela Lugosi, etc.

Mae West: Musical

Instead of hiring an actress to play MAE WEST - - for a free staged reading of a new Mae West musical "It's Not What I Say..." - - the York Theatre engaged impressionist Holly Faris.
• • For over 20 years, this mature impersonator has been doing her send-ups of Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, Cher, and Joan Rivers. Faris does her diva impersonations at parties, corporate events, and a gambling casino in New Jersey, and also runs a celebrity look-alike company.
• • You can see the Mae-themed musical on Tuesday 20 February 2007 at 7:30 PM.
• • Presented at the York Theatre [located in the Citicorp building at Lexington Avenue and 54th Street], this production will be directed by Andy Sandberg. The show's book, music, and lyrics are by Daniel Lanning.
• • For reservations, contact Jeff Landsman at 212-935-5824, ext. 24.

Mae West: Buttered Up

Re-think the long-stemmed roses. A special pound cake named "Mae West" is made by Nonnie Waller's bakery. What an appealing alternative to the usual Valentine's Day gift offerings.
• • The cake-maker describes her MAE WEST pound cake: "This box's ample appeal begins with a gold panné shaded-velvet bottom. Her matching knockout top is adorned with a button of square-cut gilded sequins."
• • "Mae West," which can be delivered, includes your choice of the original recipe or chocolate espresso pound cake, a nosegay of fresh flowers, and a designer box. Nonnie Waller's Traditional Southern [operating in Spring Valley, Ohio] is located in a grand century-old [circa 1905] building, where the butter-loving flour-fingered staff ships their cakes nestled in clever keepsake hatboxes.

On 11 February 2007 The New York Times Book Review section highlighted a few paperback titles worth reading - - and one bestseller covers MAE WEST during her years in variety.
• • A perennial favorite among theatre historians is NO APPLAUSE — JUST THROW MONEY: The Book That Made Vaudeville Famous authored by Trav S.D. - - yes, that's his penname - - published by Faber & Faber.
• • This exuberant cultural history tracks America’s sturdiest entertainment form back to Roman clowns and medieval festivals, then forward to snake-oil salesmen and blackface minstrels, silent jugglers (such as W.C. Fields), magicians (Houdini), strong men (Sandor and "The Mighty Atom"), and ventriloquists; stars like MAE WEST, the Marx Brothers, and W. C. Fields; and “new vaudevillians” like Penn and Teller.

Mae West: GEM-a-thon

MAE WEST memorabilia is mushrooming on Ebay, which is dandy - - except for the oily scam artists who purport to be selling do-dads and costume jewelry once owned by the actress. Fans who want to get a gander at the real thing, supposedly, can come up and see Mae's more precious pieces on display in San Francisco.
• • Where these items are coming from is unclear, however, since Butterfield's Auctioneers (who liquated Mae's belongings after the death of her companion Paul Novak) said that the entertainer did not own jewelry with famous labels on them. Mae West did wear gems by Harry Winston when she appeared on Broadway as "Diamond Lil" - - but these sparklers were on loan.
• • Anyway here's where to find Mae West by the bay beginning today.
• • On 10 February there will be an opening of a new exhibition of French jewelry at the French-style Legion of Honor museum overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. The show features a century of desirable adornments, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco to contemporary, made by brand-name jewelers such as Cartier, Lalique, Boucheron, Van Cleef, JAR, Lorenz Baumer, etc.
• • Ogle the Taj Mahal diamond necklace, a gift from Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday, made by Cartier about 1972 with a 17th-century Mughal stone the size of a walnut. There is Marjorie Merriweather Post's platinum, sapphire, and diamond necklace from 1936-37 that can be worn as two bracelets. There are pieces once owned by Mae West and publisher Katharine Graham.
• • On view 10 February through 10 June 2007 is "Masterpieces of French Jewelry'' at the Legion of Honor, Lincoln Park, San Francisco. Info: 415-863-3330.

Mae West: February 9, 1927

Headlines and headaches were in store for MAE WEST in 1927. On 9 February 1927, the first police raid of Mae West's play "Sex" led to an expensive trial, box office losses, and jail time for the actress and others.
• • Since her vaudeville performances were often panned by Variety - - who would say things like "a bit too crude for this $2 audience" - - Mae had become accustomed to negative press coverage. But the idea of spending the night in jail was a new low point.
• • This how Mae West and Barry O'Neill looked onstage 9 February 1927 minutes before they were arrested along with the cast, the director, the producers, and the theatre owner.
