"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

The Great Theatre Massacre of 1982

Fought City Hall in 1974 to save the Loews Triboro in Astoria Queens. It was a 3,200 seat neighborhood picture palace in pristine condition. Dirty politics from the than Queens Borough President doomed it and it went down. Same story in Flushing in 1986. Actually declared a landmark until powerful money people got to the same Borough President who had it delandmarked . It sits there today rotting away. I no longer waste my time doing a Man Of La Mancha on these things. If there is money involved you are wasting your time re preservation.
