Mae West: Norman, Oklahoma

Wearing a costume and assuming the persona of MAE WEST, one intrepid teenager had quite an adventure in Oklahoma that began on Friday night, 18 June 2010 just before the witching hour.
• • Library Lock-In: An Overnight Mystery • •
• • It occurred to librarian Rebecca Spence that there must be students who have always wanted to wander the shadowy, spooky, creaky corridors of a library after dark. And so she created a "What If" challenge built around this L.A.R.P. fantasy: H. G. Wells had been testing his novel's time machine at a soiree but he is discovered dead in the bathroom. Who killed him? Was it Mae West, James Joyce, Isadora Duncan, T.S. Eliot, or another of the visitors?
• • It Happened One Night: Teens get "locked in" the library at 11:00 PM Friday night and will get to solve a mystery, enjoy a late night dinner, participate in a costume contest, and other fun activities until 7:00 AM Saturday morning. [This event was only available to girls and boys ages 12 — 17.] Cheers to the teen wearing the MAE WEST costume. We hope you win!
• • Where: Norman Library's Lowry Room, 225 North Webster, Norman, OK 73069.
• • Here's another mystery to consider. Why aren't there more librarians in the USA with the creative mind of Rebecca Spence?

Mae West: Joy in Joplin

MAE WEST fans in Joplin, Missouri will get a nice freebie on 15 May 2007. The Classic Cinema offering of "Hollywood at the Joplin Public Library" stars Mae West and W.C. Fields in their hilarious pairing - - "My Little Chickadee" [released on 15 March 1940] - - a comedy set in the Old West.
• • Movietime is 6 o'clock in the evening and this Mae West film is free.
• • In Missouri, the Joplin Public Library is on Main Street between 3rd & 4th Streets.
• • Here's the plot of "My Little Chickadee" - - Suspected of illicit relations with the Masked Bandit, Flower Belle Lee [Mae West] is run out of Little Bend. On the train she meets con man Cuthbert J. Twillie [W.C. Fields] and pretends to marry him for "respectability." Arriving in Greasewood City with his unkissed bride, Cuthbert J. Twillie is named sheriff by the town boss Jeff Badger, who has an ulterior motive. Both stars display their comic capital onscreen.
• • As the film ends, Cuthbert J. Twillie says to Flower Belle, "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" It is, of course, a sly reference to Mae West's famous line in "She Done Him Wrong" [1933].
