Enjoy Bob Hope and James Cagney entertaining at the Friar's Club.

Bob Hope, one of the most famous comedians, was 52, and James Cagney, mostly cast as the bad-guy gangster in movies, was 56.

User's choice ...


A regular visitor and contributor to the site has suggested that many 'good' articles are buried in the Archives and that visitors are being deprived of the chance to view them because, often, they don't even know they exist. He suggested it would be helpful if visitors could be directed to the Archives directly from the front page. I have tried to implement his recommendation.

You may comment on ANY article, no matter how old, especially if you have only just read it!

Enjoy!
