I have, in fact, done an entire reconstruction of both the score and the script, and have written over 300 pages explaining why everything works the way it does. I'm sorry to say that not only have I found numerous errors in Harris (including several blatant moments of plagarism), but I can pretty much show that Bloom and everyone else who has ever written about this revue has never bothered to look at it. They are simply wrong, as my dissertation will show. Sometimes they get facts incorrect, but for the most part, I find that scholars like Lee Davis just didn't bother to check up on things before they decried the show "mediocre," and I think that's probably what happened with most writers on the revues of this period. Hopefully, my dissertation will show everybody how exicting these shows really were!<br />-Jonas Westover, CUNY Graduate CenterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141257597152612100.post-91228222094652474872009-04-09T14:09:00.000-04:002009-04-09T14:09:00.000-04:00How sweet of you to write about Marilyn Miller and...How sweet of you to write about Marilyn Miller and your quest for information in your blog! I'm a fan - I've gotten to see her two films and she was an adorable little thing. Thanks for the further information; it made for a fascinating read.silentsgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159047327861334968noreply@blogger.com
