• • In New England, those wonderfully well-organized librarians have scheduled a fantastic Fall Film Fest for their patrons. Their theme will help celebrate Paramount Pictures' 100th Anniversary each Tuesday at 6:30 pm and the Brooklyn bombshell is up first, starring in "She Done Him Wrong" [1933] set during the 1890s on the Bowery. The second feature tonight will be "Duck Soup."
• • This is the only double feature on their Tuesday film schedule — — so come up to Maine and see Mae in her iconic role as Lady Lou, who made diamonds a career.
• • WHAT: "She Done Him Wrong" kicks off the Fall Film Fest at 6:30 pm today.
• • WHERE: Patten Free Library: 33 Summer Street, Bath, Maine 04530.

• • Details about Mae's recent testimony had been published in several weekend editions across the USA on Sunday, 18 September 1932. Harry Voiler, parolee. Yikes.
• • On Thursday, 18 September 1980 • •
• • It was September when Mae West was in the hospital and not doing well. On Thursday, 18 September 1980, the Hollywood icon suffered a second stroke, and this left her right side paralyzed. Dreadful.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "Sex without love doesn't mean much. Sex with love — — well, kings give up kingdoms for it. Sex is only a physical thing: the act is over, and then what? Where there's love, you have something maddening."
