Since only the message boards are scheduled for execution, I suspect that doesn't include:

1.View my help desk communications(not a great many)

2. View my Update History - from 2003-2017( 19,684 )-if memory serves the site wiped those before 2003.

I like to "Ride the Old Nostalgia Trail" once in a while and go where I've been before and see if the place looks like it did the last time I was there.Places such as:

Reference the Hollywood Star Reporter entries in the Paramount Headliners shorts.I'm wondering if I should tell the reviewer from Baton Rouge that he put his YOUTuber review on the wrong page;He put it on the entry that had a clip of the Sons of the Pioneers from "Rhythm on the Range"...before Roy Rogers was named Roy Rogers.

He wrote:

"While this isn't the exact short in The Star Reporter in Hollywood series that I'm reviewing, it will have to do since it's the only one listed on IMDb. In this one, Ted Husing showcases 9-year-old musical prodigy Bennie Bartlett as he plays his trumpet and sings a song he wrote himself. Then Dorothy Lamour, who's from New Orleans in my home state of Louisiana, sings "Love Is Like a Cigarette" which is a cynical take on romance and perhaps because of the "cigarette" line wouldn't pass muster today. While a Joie Rardin is listed in the credits, I didn't see anyone by that name in the copy I watched on YouTube. Perhaps she was cut out of the print I saw. Finally, we watch dancing partners Vera Marshe and Louis Da Pron tap dancing up a storm before the short ends. Pretty entertaining especially when Lamour performs her number in a Paramount screen test just before her first movie there called Jungle Princess. No great shakes but worth a look for film buffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It belongs on the 1936 page where I wrote:

In this entry to the Hollywood Star Reporter series (reporting only on stars with Paramount contracts or connections at the time), Ted Husing drops in on Bennie Bartlett and is surprised to find the 9-year-old kid can play the trumpet and is a songwriter but the song Bartlett sings - "The Old Fashioned Mill" - was not written by him; and then, Husing turns his attention to Dorothy Lamour's screen test and shows why Paramount cast her in the title role of the recently-released "Jungle Princess." Dorthy sings "Love Is Like a Cigarette." Husing then spends about two-and-a-half minutes watching a novelty-music entertainer named Joie Rardin, with Ben Bernie's Band, do some novelty-music entertaining. This segment of this short was edited from the television version, which is why the film version runs ten minutes and the television version (available for viewing on YouTube) only runs seven minutes and forty-nine seconds. And for a wind-up, Husing watches Vera Marshe and Louis Da Pron, recent Paramount contractees from Broadway, dance up a storm.

My goodness gracious and sake's alive...for someone unable to find the correct film, he sure must have been able to read my summary. Or, good eyes see alike. He must have missed the part where I mentioned the song Bennie Bartlett sung was not written by him.He didn't miss much else.

Nah,no need to raise a storm over a dance.Live and let live.
