On Thanksgiving, some news people gave thanks for MAE WEST.
• • For instance, San Diego, California reporter Beth Accomando wrote: I give thanks to Paul Newman for the bluest blue eyes and for bucking the system with impertinence; to Errol Flynn for swashbuckling his way through adventures with a rogue's grin that could make me swoon; and to Robert Mitchum for lighting up a cigarette like no one else could. And to all the cinematic clowns who made me laugh till my sides ached starting with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd who needed no words; to Hong Kong's Stephen Chow who mixed physical and verbal comedy with equal ease; to Carole Lombard, Barbara Stanwyck, and Jean Arthur for their sophisticated screwball comediennes; and to Mae West who could turn any phrase into a suggestive come on.
• • MAN: I shall die to make you happy.
• • MAE WEST: But you're no good to me dead.

• • Eugene O'Neill, You've Put a Curse on Broadway • •
• • In 1922, Mae West spoofed Eugene O'Neill's play "The Hairy Ape" during one comical number for "The Ginger Box Review."
• • It was during November that the native New York dramatist died — — on 27 November 1953. Considering he won so many awards, why did O'Neill look so sour in every photo he posed for? If you have an explanation, let us know. Inquiring minds are wondering. . . .
