Must I remind you that you are the fugitive from justice and not I. I'm a prominent citizen, widely respected. You are an obscure young workman, wanted for the committing of an extremely unpopular crime. Now which of us do you think the police will believe?

THE SCREEN: “Mae West Reveals Herself as a Circus Queen in “I’m No Angel” at the Paramount—Saturday's Millions”

I'M NO ANGEL, based on a story by Mae West and supported by Lowell Brentano; music and lyrics by Harvey Brooks, Gladys Du Bois and Ben Ellison; directed by Wesley Ruggles; a Paramount production. At the Times Square and Brooklyn Paramounts.

Tira .... Mae West Jack Clayton .... Cary Grant Bill Barton .... Edward Arnold Slick .... Ralf Harolde Alicia Hatton .... Gertrude Michael Kirk .... Kent Taylor Thelma .... Dorothy Peterson Benny Pinkowitz .... Russell Hopton Beulah .... Gertrud Michael The Chump .... William Davidson Rajah .... Nigel de Bruller Bob .... Irving Pichel Omnes.... George Bruggeman Harry .... Nat Pendleton Chauffeur .... Morrie Cohen Judge .... Walter Walker

by MORDAUNT HALL.

Arrayed in a variety of costumes which set off her sinuous form, Mae West is appearing at the Paramount in her latest screen vehicle, "I'm No Angel," a title which, as might be surmised, fits the leading character. Here Miss West, who wrote the story herself from “suggestions contributed" by Lowell Brentano, is beheld as a circus beauty named Tira, who wins applause and admiration by risking her blond head in a lion's mouth twice daily.

It is a rapid-fire entertainment, with shameless but thoroughly contagious humor, and one in which Tira is always the mistress of the situation, whether it be in the cage with wild beasts, in her boudoir with admirers or in a court of law.

Tira is ever ready with & flip double entendre and' she permits no skeleton to be found behind her cupboard doors. She has an emphatic personality, which proves a magnet for even social lights with millions. She receives costly presents, Including diamond necklaces, but she is hardly a gold-digger. She refrains from posing, preferring to keep to her natural slangy speech in her journey through the story from a tent to a penthouse.

She admits that she has thrown discretion to the winds, and she sometimes finds herself in an awkward predicament, but through a wily lawyer she succeeds in proving that she is guiltless. The feeble parts of this picture are those in which a criminal known as Slick is introduced. The less one sees of him the better one feels, for the production is interesting only as long as it proceeds on its merry route.

The glimpses of Tira making her impressive entry to the circus arena and then proceeding to the big cage with the roaring lions are depicted shrewdly. Tira does not actually stick her whole head in the lion's mouth, but contents herself by putting her face between the beast's jaws, which is quite enough.

Even this is set forth with a certain degree of fun, and one feels that Tira probably has a pistol ready for an emergency and that other circus employees are ready to shoot in the event that the beast starts to close its mouth. But one is apt to wonder whether they could possibly be quick enough. Society among the spectators is thrilled, all except one snobbish girl, who is furious because her fiancé is very enthusiastic over the performer's courage-and her beauty.

Later there comes the time when Tira puts her fair head into a court of law as the plaintiff in a breach-of-promise case. She sues Jack Clayton, whom she really loves, for $1,000,000, and it is not Tira's artful counsel who wins the case, but the circus queen herself. She cross-examines the defendant's witnesses and turns their testimony in her own favor, the unusual proceeding being countenanced by a judge whose sympathy Tira wins with the utmost ease.

Miss West plays her part with the same brightness and naturalness that attended her second film role. There is no lack of spontaneity in her actions or in the utterance of her lines. She is a remarkable wit, after her fashion. Cary Grant is pleasing as Clayton and Walter Walker is excellent as the considerate old judge. Gregory Ratoff does well as Tara’s lawyer. Wesley Ruggles has directed the film with his usual intelligence.

Dec 31- Day #1 -A Fortnight of Books

Overall - best new-to-you books read in 2023?

Ooh - we start by firing the big guns, do we? Throwing objectivity to the wind and judging simply by the ones that had the most profound effects on me:

The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

They were right. They were all right. He is Annux. The series is all that it aims to be, and yet this book outstrips the rest. This books is cool water and lavishly red wine in summertime. I just can't believe that the heart of the book is that where we (and Costis) thought there was sloth, cowardice, self-absorption, and even cruelty, there is secretly compassion, fidelity, and the vitality of unearned mercy. And just, you know - "Go to bed, Eugenides."

Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers

Oh, the sheer love - and genius - that was clearly poured into this book! While part of me wishes I had read this novel before I visited Oxford this summer, I don't know if I would have loved the novel in the same way if it had been the other way round. Like Harriet, i got to return to Oxford through this book and simultaneously become acquainted truly with Sayers' Wimsical imagination at the height of her powers. I have read a couple of her early Wimsey books, and they are great, but they do pale next to this one. The intelligence, the themes, HARRIET, the fact that it's a good mystery but the mystery is almost a bonus added on to following Miss Vane. And I understand Lord Peter so much better now. And yes, it reads like a love letter to everything in the world that the author loves. The best books often do. And the words, the words! I begin to think Sayers invented the English language, for she can make it do anything she wants in any style, any genre, prose or poetry.

The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope

I don't know how to praise this one as well as I'd like to. It was one of the first books of 2023, and it was just such a jewel. Everything I love in a retelling and more. The fact that the way she held on to him was reminding him who he was, in the most practical, no-nonsense, down to earth fashion, in the face of the grandiose lies the cultist had told him about himself. This book gave me a bit of the cold iron to have about me, one might say.

What It Means to Be a Christian by Pope Benedict XVI

This book took on the meaning of suffering, what it means to live in the fulfillment of the covenant, and our individual callings in very few chapters, with an apparent simplicity that belies itself. It's so, so good.

Best series you discovered in 2023?

The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson

I might have waffled between this series and the Queen's Thief, but I read the first two books of the latter in 2022, which makes it easier. Shall I say, this series is so much greater than the sum of its parts. I imagine it would depend greatly on the individual whether certain aspects in Janner and Kalmar's arcs resonate as they did for me, but oh, I wish they could do so for everyone. These books had me weeping. Kalmar singing the Song of the Ancient Stones - and choosing instead to cling to his true identity with the help of his brother - had a very specific meaning to me, something truly transformative. And I will never forget Podo Helmer, realizing that for the first time in his life, his whole story had been told, and against all hope, he was still loved.

And all this is not to mention the two days of longing it sent me spiralling into. Longing for beauty, for creativity, for God.

Best rereads of the year?

The Letter to the Romans by Saint Paul the Apostle

This was the year of jumping head first into the wave pool of Romans and simply refusing to get out of the water when the lifeguards said closing time. Honestly, Christ did something this year that changed the way I experience Scripture. Still working through multiple commentaries and mean to continue them into the New Year.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

Beautiful book. Beautiful, beautiful book, with a heart that's melancholy yet warm and hopeful. So much thinking to do.

Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson

Did me a lot of good in completely different ways than it did last time.

20 books challenge

Tagged by @theinquisitxor to post which books I would keep if I could only keep 20. Normally it would be tricky to choose only 20, but with the additional rules of no repeated authors or multiple books per series, I kept stalling at around 13! Here's my final answer (for today).

Let's see, I'm going to tag @agardenandlibrary, @wearethekat and @dracereads with the caveat that I'm not sure how many books you all actually have on hand! ebooks/audiobooks count as well, no picture required. Anyone else who wants to do this, consider this a tag, and show me your choices!

(list of books below the cut)

I decided to include Harper Collins titles but with a strikethrough, just to show the variety of books that fall under their imprints. Top to bottom, books are:

The Lost Prince, Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Picts and the Martyrs, Arthur Ransome

Gaudy Night, Dorothy Sayers

Good Omens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Feet of Clay, Terry Pratchett (OK, I cheated a little on the repeated author rule)

Peterson Field Guide to Eastern Birds

The Midnight Folk, John Masefield

Poetry 180, Billy Collins

I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith

Prodigal Summer, Barbara Kingsolver (would probably actually choose a diff Kingsolver book as the one-and-only, but a friend has it right now)

The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume II, Arthur Conan Doyle

Death and Hard Cider, Barbara Hambly

About the B'nai Bagels, E. L. Konigsburg

Tinkerbelle, Robert Manry

Grave Mistake, Ngaio Marsh (this particular volume has 3 of her books, but if forced to choose I'd go with the listed title)

Sailor Jack and the Target Ship, Selma and Jack Wasserman (a sentimental keep: a preschool favorite)

Dragonhaven, Robin McKinley

The Merlin Conspiracy, Diana Wynne Jones

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis

just sent the margaret peterson haddix ask. scrolled down on the dash. saw that you also read a bunch of the wizard of oz books????? i loved those and i bought all of them for my kindle because they were public domain so they were only one cent. do you remember when they met that evil woman who had 30 different fashion heads. anyways.

YES you are speaking my language. ozma of oz was my favorite book bc like all the oz books are some assortment of weird fucking creatures and people but that one has like. all my favorites. like billina, the yellow hen, who’s introduced in that book, has been my fave character from the day i met her. i fucking love her so much. but like. yes there is so much going on in that series. but like im not going to lie the scenes with Princess Langwidere scared the fuck out of me as a child because like its like oh i guess its kinda cool she can swap heads and they have different personalities but they’re probably not like. real people or something. and then she tried to cut dorothy’s head off and its like. um. so where’d the other heads come from. where’d they come from.

the thing is, when i talk about the oz series i always end up just talking about characters that are in it.. because like, yes there is plot, but a lot of the series is just about going to different weird places and meeting new weird people so there are literally hundreds of weird fucking characters and i can’t like. not have favorites. like the gump, which is. two couches tied together with rope which is brought to life. Bungle, who was one of my absolute favorites as a child, is a cat made of glass who has a visable heart and brain. And of course, polychrome, who of course i love, she’s literally a atmospheric being/ sky fairy who looks like a rainbow..

theres so many good ones

#also im going crazy thats the exact way i read them. one cent on kindle
