Happy Birthday to Eve Arden, David Manners and Jill Clayburgh.
To celebrate Eve Arden’s birthday I watched and listened to Our Miss Brooks. She plays Constance Brooks an English teacher at Madison High. In the movie she did a triple take as she sees Mr. Boynton shirtless working with weights in the school courtyard. She lives in the house of Mrs. Davis and her cat. When Mr. Boynton asks to speak with Mrs. Davis in a confidential matter she asks the cat to leave the room. After they talk she opens the door for Mr. Boynton and the cat comes in the room. She would probably give up 8 lives to know what we were talking about. I have not seen the television program.
In the radio series Mr. Boynton is only interested in his frogs. No matter what Miss Brooks does he doesn’t seem to notice her. Gale Gordon as Mr. Conklin the school principal and don’t we all have a Mr. Conklin in our life. A boss who doesn’t like our methods but wants us to do things for them. People who are a part of everyday life that we don’t understand, such as children or co-workers but we enjoy being in their presence.
