• • Audiences appreciated Mae West in "Catherine Was Great" but the reviewers are often hard to please. Variety was persnicketty so often that their resident sourpusses were reliably poised to leave no turn unstoned. The headline for Variety's front page critique was "Mae West Stands 'em Up Despite Pans" (published in the issue dated for Wednesday, 9 August 1944). According to the man-on-the-aisle, "the play lacks fun."

• • The documentary film "Mae West and the Men Who Knew Her" was released in the USA on Tuesday, 9 August 1994.

conditioning), music written by Mae West's Italian husband will be
played, and attendees will be seated.
• • At the Reception, Italian wine and
light refreshments will be served. The ever-popular Mae West Raffle
will offer rare prizes once again to a number of lucky attendees. The
public is invited.
