The Monday Morning Memo


In just 4 years we’ll celebrate
the 80th anniversary of the opening of 
You Can’t Take It With You, a play that ran for 837 performances and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. When that play was made into a movie the following year, it won the Academy Award for Best Picture. 


The 3,000 year Pendulum is headed in the same direction and approaching the same position it occupied in 1936 when 
Grandpa Vanderhof first muttered, 

“Lincoln said, ‘With malice toward none, with charity to all.’ Nowadays they say, ‘Think the way I do or I’ll bomb the daylights outta you.'”

That play opened at the Booth Theater on Dec. 14, 1936
 

This is a 4:45 scene from that Oscar-winning 1938 movie starring a young Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur.  You would do well to watch it. The words of Jimmy and Jean will help to protect you from the zombies. – Indy

Random Quote:

“Every e-commerce website is looking for customer engagement. Every blogger is looking for reader engagement. Every podcaster hopes for listener engagement and every Youtuber is trying to achieve viewer engagement. And one of the principal ways they measure engagement is by the amount of time you spend with them.

Orson Welles told us how to do it: Give your audience a hint of a scene. Make them participate by filling in what you leave out. Get them working with you to tell your story. Make them a co-creator. When it becomes a social act of the shopper, reader, listener, or viewer to take what you are giving them – and fill in what you left out – that’s when you have achieved engagement.”

- Roy H. Williams, in the Monday Morning Memo for April 3, 2023
