Aguilera does a remake of a Mae West classic "A Guy What Takes His time" as well as as Etta James's "Something's Got A Hold On Me" and "Tough Lover"; new recordings performed and co-written by Aguilera will be seamed into more familiar material.

• • The Victoria Times Colonist in Victoria, Canada reported that "The Cursed Cabaret of Kelowna Day Taylor," an audience participation stage show, continues through 31 October 2010.
• • According to Times Colonist columnist Adrian Chamberlain: The musical is about a corporate fundraiser haunted by the ghost of a speakeasy queen, Kelowna Day Taylor. Playwright Karen Lee Pickett, who wrote the book and lyrics, says the character is inspired by a real-life historical figure: Texas Guinan. She was a silent film actress who famously ran a New York City nightclub during Prohibition. She died in Vancouver in 1933. The larger-than-life Guinan was portrayed in several movies, including "Splendor in the Grass" [1961] and the 1932 film "Night After Night," with Mae West playing a Guinan-like character.
• • "Night After Night" premiered on 30 October 1932 and launched the cinema success of Mae West seventy-eight years ago.
