Podcast appearances and mentions of William Saroyan

Hal Ackerman is making his second appearance on StoryBeat. Hal spent thirty years teaching screenwriting in UCLA's legendary screenwriting program. Along with Richard Walter and Lew Hunter, Hal helped launch the careers of many dozens of writers whose work you've seen on screens large and small. Hal has sold film and television material to all the outlets. His screenplay Holmeyer's Bridge, holds the unofficial Guinness record for having been continuously optioned for twenty consecutive years, owned during that stretch by two Academy Award winning producers, two Tony Award winning producers and others.His short fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals. “Sweet Day” was recorded by the late Robert Forster. Concrete Charley and The Golden Boy won the 2020 Sports Literate Sport Short contest.Hal's written three “Soft boiled” murder mystery novels about an aging counter-culture P.I. named Harry Stein. The first of those, Stein Stung, won a Lovey award for best first novel. Subsequently, he published Stein Stoned and more recently, Smoke and Lather. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all three Stein books and can tell you Hal delivers a unique take on the detective genre. Funny while being dramatic, Hal's writing is cleverly brilliant and brilliantly clever. I highly recommend all three Harry Stein books to you.Hal's also known for publishing the highly informative and truly useful book, Write Screenplays that Sell: The Ackerman Way. If you want insight from one of the foremost screenwriting teachers of the last half century, make a point to check it out.  Hal's One-Man play, Testosterone: How Prostate Cancer Made a Man of Me (renamed Prick) won the William Saroyan award for drama and was named Best Play at the 2012 New York Solo Festival. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm proud to say I was fortunate to have been one of Hal's many students while I was attending UCLA's Graduate Screenwriting program. www.halackermanwriting.com CreativeLive.com

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Charlie Matthau, son of actor Walter Matthau. We spoke to Charlie about his amazing father & their special relationship but also his incredible mother, actor/author Carol Matthau. We quickly learn that she was (wait for it), the basis for Truman Capote's Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's. There is one small difference between the character and the person however and we discuss that too. We also discuss Carol's first husband, author William Saroyan and Charlie's grandfather Charles Marcus of Bendix Aviation – which are both bigger-than-life stories unto themselves. Somehow we were able to parse all this out and discuss what it was like growing up the son of one of the most beloved actors of his generation. Be it comedy or drama, we get into Walter Matthau's career on stage & film as well as the weird and wonderful curios of his career. An uncredited cameo in Earthquake? We discuss it. His viewing habits of the television version of The Odd Couple? We discuss that too. Along the way we discuss the Malibu beach house Charlie inhabited when host Josh Mills & family along with Walter's best pal Jack Lemmon took to Broad Beach road in the 1970s. Plus, we get to hear about Walter's penchant for card tricks, Christmas' spent at the Lemmon's house as well as what it was like for Charlie to direct his father in a film, The Glass Harp. Along the way we discuss Gloria Vanderbilt and Oona O'Neill, Howard Hughes, the unsung film Mikey and Nicky his mom starred in and much more. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.

Reciban un cordial saludo. Desde Cali (Colombia), les habla Sergio Luis López, compartiéndoles un nuevo episodio de "Así la escuché yo..." Terminaba la década de 1950, cuando el sello peruano MAG (sigla tomada de las letras iniciales del nombre de su propietario el señor Manuel Antonio Guerrero), reunió a un grupo de músicos del Perú cobijados bajo el proyecto Sonora MAG. Algunos de estos artistas fueron el reconocido Ñiko Estrada y la cantante Vicky Zamora, quienes grabaron la canción éxito incluida en el álbum “El Negro bembón” de 1959, titulada “Ven pa' mi casa”. Así la escuché yo… La melodía ya había sido éxito en el Caribe con letra adaptada al castellano por el inimitable cantante puertorriqueño Daniel Santos, quien la grabó en 1951 junto al sexteto cubano conocido como Los Jóvenes del Cayo con el título “Ven pa' mi casa”. Los anteriores temas musicales son en realidad versiones al castellano de la canción compuesta en 1939 por los estadounidenses (de origen armenio) Ross Bagdasarian y William Saroyan; la cual fue grabada originalmente en inglés por Kay Armen en 1951 con el título “Come on-a my house” (Ven a mi casa). Ese mismo año, llegó a ser éxito mundial la versión grabada en1951 por la cantante estadounidense Rosemary Clooney, bajo el título “Come on-a my house”. Como dato curioso, hay que decir que erróneamente se ha acreditado la versión de la Sonora MAG, a la orquesta del peruano Lucho Macedo; pero, en realidad, es la Sonora de Ñiko Estrada la que grabó “Ven pa' mi casa”. También hay que decir que algunas personas creen que esta versión la interpretó Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera; pero la verdad es que la encargada de popularizar “Ven pa' mi casa” fue la peruana Vicky Zamora, acompañada por la Sonora de Ñiko Estrada bajo la figura de La Sonora MAG. ¿Y tú, conocías la canción éxito en inglés grabada por Rosemary Clooney?

For our MGM 1943 episode, we look at two films that are highly representative of the Mayer ethos, The Human Comedy (directed by Clarence Brown), a portrait of WWII-era American small-town life infused with the beatific sensibility of William Saroyan (who provided the story), with Mickey Rooney in a coming-of-age story that's equal parts Andy Hardy and David Lynch; and the children's classic Lassie Come Home (directed by Fred M. Wilcox), which we compare to Mizoguchi's Sansho the Bailiff as a sold-into-slavery story but find wanting in its social analysis despite its Communist screenwriter. We try to tease the strangeness out of the sentiment—which doesn't really take much doing.    Time Codes: 0h 00m 45s:      THE HUMAN COMEDY [Dir.

The Soul Cafe ‘where life is served-up freshly brewed'.  As always to get our minds and hearts to open up we might just need a Rude Awakeing (by Della Mae and permission by Della Mae and Concord Music).  Wake us up Della Mae!Are we not all struggling right now?  People on both sides of the fence yelling at each other and yelling at ourselves—yes, we are a divided people.  Now we are not calling for some kind of blind unity (Kum ba Yah) that means absolutely nothing—maybe we need to figure out some ways to get around the table—-and listen to each other—to sense each other's humanity—lots of listening.Getting around the table—starting with basic humanity.  We quote a little from the book SAVING GRACE—Speak Your Truth, Stay Centered, and Learn to Coexist with People Who Drive you Nuts by Kirsten Powers.  We talk a little about famous odd couples of differing political and other persuasions—and how they found common humanity.Bell Hooks said “How do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their capacity to be transformed”.We pause to ponder having Room at the Table for everyone by listening with permission from singer-songwriter Carrrie Newcomers song—ROOM AT THE TABLE.  “but there is room at the table for everyone—-so pull up a chair”Then we focus a little on Frank's wife Jill's new buisness in retirement—BEANS AND SPROUTS—beanssprouts.com —one way of making room for everyone is justice—-selling fair trade and organic coffee where the farmers around the world are getting a fair wage and helping to transform their communites—Drink Coffee and Be the Change.  And selling local organically grown herbs and plants.  Also selling Sweet Justice products by (Deans Beans) organic and fair trade dark chocolate disc and hot cocoa mix—giving 10% of the sales to a local agency named—Benevolence Farm near Graham, NC helping formerly incarcerated women to have room at the table.Frank then switches gears slightly by pointing out that this whole struggle is not about opposing sides not standing for anything—as the Dali Lama says, “if you want others to be happy, practice compassion.  If you want to be happy, practice compassion” which leads us even among division to declare humanity for all—-so………………………..VOTE AS IFYour skin is not whiteYour parents need medical careYour spouse is an immigrantYour land is on fireYour child is transgenderYour house is floodedYour sister is a victim of gun violenceYour brother is gayYour water is unsafeBecause Privilege has no place in an Election, But Empathy Does!Winding down today….an Armenian American writer William Saroyan penned these words in his breakthrough article “The Daring Young Man on the flying Trapeze”, published in 1934.  You might say this is a rousing piece of advice that reads like a rallying cry to live life to its fullest:  “Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste the food when you eat, and when you sleep really sleep.  Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell.  And when you get angry, get good and angry.  Try to be alive.”Yes, it is almost Halloween—crazy how for some that even divides people—but I say get out there—let your bones rattle—pull out the witches—strobe lights—fog machine—-and laugh with the whole neighborhood—we are in this together—and be ready for some good ole gratitude humanity as Thanksgiving approaches.We head off into nature—as Della Mae sings—For the Sake of My Heart———just maybe the table needs to be outside—all humanity breathing the same air—watching the change of seasonsThe Soul Cafe—the table is large enough for all—-see you next time.

This month at Article Club, we've been diving into “A Kingdom From Dust,” by Mark Arax — a big, bold, outstanding piece about the magic and plunder of California. I've been hearing from many of you about how much you are appreciating the article. If you haven't read it yet, I highly encourage you to do so. And if you find the piece moving, I urge you to sign up for our online discussion on Sept. 25 at 2 pm PT.I'm very honored to announce that this week's issue of The Highlighter is dedicated to a conversation I had with Mr. Arax a few days ago. We talked about a range of topics, including: his love-hate relationship with California; how water politics determine who succeeds and who suffers in the state; how meeting William Saroyan influenced his writing; how he approaches reporting with compassion and nuance; and what we need to do to make sure California survives.I hope you take a listen, whether or not you've already read “A Kingdom from Dust.” Hearing from Mr. Arax made me proud to be a Californian, even if our state is facing potentially catastrophic climate calamity.The interview also got me excited to order Mr. Arax's latest book, The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California, which received rave reviews, including recommendations from Linda Ronstadt and Mark Bittman.I'd love to hear what you think of the conversation! Feel free to leave a comment here. What was thought provoking? What surprised you? This is a public episode.

Episode Notes More on Saroyan Our Patreon Auto-Generated Transcript Registry-The Human Comedy Fri, 8/12 11:53AM • 6:32 SUMMARY KEYWORDS film, presents, story, family, script, ithaca, andy hardy, focused, work, star, great, comedy, james cagney, telegraph office, incredibly, deserved, dialoguing, fascinating, mayor, role     This is Registry, a Podcast, from Office Supply Publishing and Klaus at Gunpoint     The Human Comedy is exactly the type of film the National Film Registry should be honoring. It is a uniquely American film about a fascinating time in American history. It has a backstory that's wonderful. But ultimately, it is a hopeful story, a hopeful story being told in a time when hope was somewhat limited.     The concept of the Human Comedy is based on the work of William Saroyan and William wrote in the style that been referred to as Troyan esque, it is optimistic, perhaps sentimental, at the same time as being somewhat cynical of the role of society and rules. Basically, it's this idea that everyone in a society is a value in as much as they present, a goodness of sorts, and that becomes more hazy. sering wrote the original screenplay and gave it to Louis B. Mayer of MGM, and Mayer picked up this 240 Page screenplay and said that Saroyan wasn't going to direct it as he had kind of hoped. And he had actually made a short film called The Good Job as sort of an audition for that. Mayer gave the script to another screenwriter and to a different director. And Serena adapted that screenplay into the novel The Human Comedy, which became his biggest seller.     The film was excellent. And it featured, among others, Frank Morgan, as the telegraph operator who was fantastic. He, I think, deserved incredibly high billing. And I think he even got it. We also had, of course, Mickey Rooney, who was the biggest star in the world at that point. Well, okay, one of the biggest stars in the world, he was huge. Donna Reed, Van Johnson, this wonderful set of character actors, which is actually the perfect set of actors to have for this story. Because it's not a straight narrative. There's narrative elements, of course, there's a through line. The idea being that the McCauley family is in Ithaca, California in the Central Valley during World War Two, and the oldest son is off at war, the other son has taken a job at the telegraph office, delivering messages, which are often messages of members of their families being killed in action.     And we see the interactions between people. What's fascinating is that serine often focused on sort of the focus on immigrant populations, he focused on the downtrodden, the gamblers, the sex workers, to a lesser degree. Here, he focuses on the McCauley family that is decidedly WASPey, for lack of a better word. And what he's done is he has presented them as poor or at least lower on the economic ladder, but an incredibly tight family, an incredibly loving family, and most importantly, I think, an incredibly earnest family, and that earnestness makes the dynamics of the story work. The shooting is wonderful, the script is great. There's probably not a lot of saurians original script, it's he won the Oscar for Best Story. And the story is all there really, but I think the way the dialogue is handled is less certain than it is traditional Hollywood dialoguing. What makes a story so powerful, though, is the fact that there is a positivity towards every scene, even when it's scenes of conflict. There are scenes of conflict towards an end, which is positive and beautiful. In other words, it's a Williams Orion story. Mickey Rooney is great in it. I love Mickey Rooney in general. I think here is his best non Andy Hardy work until we would see him in Sugar Babies and other things in the 70s and 80s.     I think that Johnson is great. We there's not a lot of him, but there's just enough that I was very pleased. None of reads. Okay, she's got her moments. But the real star is Frank Morgan. And his presentation is precisely what we get from Saroyan's take on the character and we see this 100% In the scenes where he is dealing with the sons and how he presents what he does. I mean, it's a kind of a showy role, honestly. The youngest     I love the family is adorable as always, I think it just Jack Jenkins was his name. I don't know if he did much after. But overall, every performance in it is good. The script is solid. The cinematography is good. I wouldn't say it was one of the best, the best shot films of the time, but it's beautiful. It really is. And that just may be my black and white bias. But ultimately, it is the best example of William Saurian on fill the time of your life also presents that serinus quality but is really more of a James Cagney film. But here you are getting to run through a work that isn't entirely so Ryan. And that actually helps that I think there was a remake of this done called Ithaca I believe in 2016 Directed by Meg Ryan, featuring Tom Hanks, Hamish Linklater, who is actually great in it, and it's okay. It's nothing special. But the original is so strong and such an excellent document of its time that it deserves to be included on the National Film Registry.

In the history of Pulitzer Prizes and the Oscars, very few winners have turned down these awards. One of those who did was a famous Armenian-American, a writer from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. His name was William Saroyan. He turned down the Pulitzer for the drama called "The Time of Your Life" in 1940. Saroyan said he was opposed in principle to awards in the arts and was quoted as saying "such arts awards vitiate and embarrass art at its very source." His son Aram, a well-known poet in his own right, has written a lot about his father and his relationship with him. We asked him to talk about his book "Last Rites: The Death of William Saroyan."   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

En esta entrevista hablo con el narrador cubano Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo de qué significa escribir la cubanía, de qué manera la política, específicamente la revolución cubana, marca su escritura y la de nuestra generación y qué te lleva a convertirte en un personaje desesperado por atrapar todas las voces alrededor para que lleguen a tu público.

La novela está llena de citas y re-escrituras: OLPL reescribe un famoso poema de Kavafis, “Ítaca”, o el inicio de “La edad de oro” de José Martí. En el libro también se usa de modo creativo el “lenguaje soez” y lo imbrica con términos muy sofisticados es sistemáticos juegos de asonancias que impiden una lectura relajada de la historia al construir relaciones inesperadas, como “Gnosis, génesis, gentrificación, genitalia”, el encabezado de la página 14.

The Summer of The Beautiful White horse is a tale of two cousins, Aram and Mourad, who belong to the Garoghlanian family, a poor tribe, but known for their honesty. Which is why Aram is surprised when his cousin Mourad comes riding on a beautiful white horse early in the morning. The story has a childlike innocence with a touch of nostalgia. - I first encountered this story in two places, once in 6th grade, and then in 11th grade NCERT. Both cases analysed the story in different ways. Even today as I narrate this tale, I find new elements of the story I had previously not noticed. That's the great thing about stories, its different for every reader, and it changes every time you read it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kendsilva/message

There's an old saying that if you're not where you want to be in your life—or who—you should “fake it til you make it.” And it can work great. For example, let's say you're terrified of public speaking. And inside you feel like you're about to either pee yourself, barf up everything you've ever eaten, just turn around and flee, or possibly all three. But instead of letting the audience see your nerves, you straighten your shoulders and stride out to the podium in your best outfit, with a big, fake, confident smile on your face. Chances are, people will never know how scared you were, and you'll actually start to FEEL confident after a while. But…what if you never get to the “til you make it” part? What if the core of your being is so dark, so abhorrent, so contrary to everything that makes us truly human, that your only option is to fake it, all the time? I bet you'd get real good at it. William Saroyan once wrote, “It takes a lot of rehearsing for a man to be himself.” For the villain in this story, it was just the opposite. The rehearsal was all about hiding the self.

We talk to her about her legacy of activism, and why our collective response to the coronavirus pandemic should be a united one. Plus, we hear from journalist and author Mark Arax, who invites us to revisit the work of William Saroyan. We also learn why a Shark Tank entrepreneur who runs a pet product company in Chicago is now supplying medical masks to hospitals in the Valley. Listen to those stories and more on the podcast above.

William Saroyan's The Cave Dwellers is a quiet play with powerful themes. It has no significant acting or technical challenges, making it a fine option for any theatre looking to produce an example of American Existentialism/Absurdism. It also features an actor portraying a bear!

Today we celebrate the botanical illustrator who was wrongfully fired from his first job and the French botanist who spent a month in California with a boatful of Russians. We'll learn about the botanical name of the city where people leave their hearts, and we’ll fall in love with a classic garden writer from Bronxville, New York. Today’s Unearthed Words feature an English poet who loved gardens and wrote many poems about them. We Grow That Garden Library™ with a book that talks about the revolution that will save our food. I'll talk about a garden item that I have WAY too many of - but, then again, can you really have too many? I digress. And, then we’ll wrap things up with the story of the woman who wrote a flora dictionary anonymously - signing her work very  mysteriously with the words “by a Lady.” But first, let's catch up on a few recent events.   Subscribe Apple | Google | Spotify | Stitcher | iHeart   Curated Articles Good Decisions by @papaver Good Decisions in the garden -Alison Levey ("Lee-Vee") - The Blackberry Garden  " I planted them and whispered to the nearby ants 'when you wake up, take the seeds and spread them throughout the garden.'”   The Plight of the African Violets — In Defense of Plants The Plight of the African Violets — In Defense of Plants — "their numbers in captivity overshadow a bleak future for this genus in the wild.

Georg was born in Heidelberg, Germany, to Ferdinand Christian Ehret, who was a gardener and also had a talent for drawing. He taught his son both skills- gardening and drawing - before he died. Georg made his way to Regensburg. There, he met an apothecary who hired him to draw of specimens from his herbarium and garden. Georg earnestly took on the job, creating over 500 pieces in one year. Taking advantage of his young employee, the apothecary fired Georg and told him he should have completed 1,000 drawings. It was basically the apothecary's way of avoiding paying Georg. After this dreadful experience, Georg made his way to England and worked at the significant botanical gardens - Including Chelsea Physic. Isaac Rand, the first director of the Chelsea Physic Garden in London, told Georg to paint the rare plants in the garden. The uniqueness of the specimens added to the demand for Georg's work. As a result, Georg was on friendly terms with the plant collectors and naturalists of his time. Chelsea was formative professionally and personally for Georg; He married the head gardener's sister-in-law, Susanna Kennet. In The Art of Botanical Illustration, Wilfrid Blunt noted that, “By the middle of the century he had become a popular figure in London society: the highest nobility in England clamored to receive instruction from him,” Indeed, the wealthiest woman in England, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (the Duchess of Portland), gladly retained Georg as a drawing instructor. Struck by the luminescence of his work, and ultimately she would buy over 300 of his paintings. In 1737, Georg was hired to draw by Sir Charles Wager, First Lord of the Admiralty. In August of that year, Wagner's personal garden is where Georg first observed the Magnolia grandiflora flowering. The bloom was so inspiring that Georg walked for an hour each way, from Chelsea to Wagner's house (in Fulham), to see and sketch every stage of the Magnolia grandiflora; from bud to full flower. Georg's work provided the world with the first Magnolia to be illustrated in England. Beyond his work in England, Georg traveled throughout Europe in pursuit of his craft. He met Linnaeus in Holland when he was visiting the botanical garden in Leiden. Linnaeus taught Georg exactly how he wanted plants to be dissected and drawn. By this time, Georg felt that his drawings were already aligned with Linnaeus, but the calibration didn't hurt; Georg's work made it possible for Linnaeus to show the differences between plants for his books. When Linnaeus released his catalog of rare plants, "Hortus Cliffortianus," in 1737, it featured 20 meticulous plates made by Georg. As a result of partnering with Linnaeus, Georg understood plant structure on a level that rivaled most botanists. Georg's style of drawing is referred to as the Linnaean style. Ehret's father could have never predicted the impact of teaching his son both gardening and drawing, but the two skills had come together in Georg in an extraordinary way. One expert wrote that, "[Ehret] was the greatest artist-illustrator that Linnaeus had." Today, Georg's work is difficult to source. Given the rarity of an Ehret drawing, they are expensive to acquire; pieces generally start around $1k (if you can find one.) Just this past year, the NYBG organized an exhibit called "Georg Ehret: The Greatest Botanical Artist of the 1700s.” They featured 48 Ehret watercolors and engravings.   1781 Today is the birthday of French-German poet, naturalist, and botanist Adelbert von Chamisso ("Sha-ME-So"). Born into a French Noble family, Chamisso’s family fled to Germany after the French Revolution. Chamisso is remembered for a number of different accomplishments. His creativity was captured in a novella called Peter Schlemihl’s Wonderful History, published in 1814. The story is about a naturalist who travels around the world thanks to a pair of seven-league boots and who sells his shadow to the devil in exchange for a bottomless wallet. Seven-league boots were a common part of European folklore and allowed the wearer to walk seven times further than an average stride, making the wearer possess super-human speed. Chamisso established himself as a Romantic poet with his poem Frauenliebe und leben, The poem’s English translation is A Woman's Love and Life and is actually a series of poems describing a woman’s love for a man from their first meeting, through their married life together and ultimately to the time after his death. Robert Schumann later set Chamisso's poem to music in his Opus 42. It takes a soprano opera singer 30 minutes to sing all the poems in the Opus from start to finish.  After surviving the french revolution and the war between France and Prussia, Chamisso eagerly joined a round-the-world voyage aboard a Russian ship called the Rurik. It would be the greatest adventure of his life. The trip was financed by a Russian Count named Nikolay ("NEE-co-LIE") Rumyantsev ("Roo-myan-sev"), who was eager to find a route around North America by water - which would later be called the Northwest Passage. Chamisso was the ship’s naturalist, and Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz was the ship’s doctor and botanist. When the Rurik ended up in the San Francisco Bay area in 1816, Chamisso and Eschscholtz ended up exploring in California for about a month. One of his discoveries was the California poppy, which he named Eschscholzia California after his friend, the botanist Johann Friedrich Von Eschscholz. In return, Eschscholz named a bunch of plants after Chamisso - a little quid pro quo. The California Wild Rose (Rosa californica Chamisso and the California Blackberry (Rubus vitifolius Chamisso) are named for Chamisso. In 1903, the botanist Sarah Plummer Lemmon put forth a successful piece of legislation that nominated the golden poppy (Eschscholzia californica) as the state flower of California. During his three year Journey on the Rurik, Chamisso collected over 12,000 species of plants. Today his collection is preserved at the Russian Academy of Sciences in St Petersburg. It was Chamisso who said, “In pain, a new time is born.”   1847Today the city of Yerba Buena ("YAIR-Bah Byoo-Nah") is renamed San Francisco. San Francisco was originally known as Yerba Buena - Spanish for "good herb" - a small mint-like plant early explorers found. Over the years, people have left their hearts in San Francisco. The author Rudyard Kipling said, "San Francisco has only one drawback – ’tis hard to leave." Paul Kanter of Jefferson Airplane said, "San Francisco is 49 square miles, surrounded by reality." Ashleigh Brilliant, author and cartoonist, said, "There may not be a Heaven, but there is San Francisco." The writer William Saroyan said, "If you’re not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life."   1878 Today is the birthday of one of America's greatest Garden writers and one of the 20th Century's most famous horticulturists, Louise Beebe Wilder. Louise was born into a wealthy family in Baltimore. After marrying an architect named Walter Wilder, they bought a country place - a 200-acre estate in Pomona New York; they called BalderBrae. Louise set about adding fountains, terraces, arbors, walled gardens, and pathways. Her book called "My Garden" shared Louise's experiences learning how to garden at BalderBrae, where one of her first flower beds was bordered with clothespins. At BalderBrae, Louise and Walter created a garden and a stone garden house that was made famous in Louise's book "Color in My Garden" - which came out in 1918 and is generally regarded as her best work. In the book, Louise was the first garden writer to write about gray as a garden color. Louise was also the first person to write about Moonlight Gardens, and she wrote about looking at plants under the light of the Moon. After World War I, Walter and Louise settled in suburban Bronxville, New York. Louise created a personal Eden on a single acre of land complete with stone pillars and a long grape arbor. It was here that Louise began rock gardening. After 1920, most of her garden writing focused on rock gardening. Louise inspired both women and men to rock garden. By 1925, Louise founded a local Working Gardeners Club in Bronxville, and she also had steady work as a garden designer and as a garden writer. Her experiences gave her material for her writing. Louise included so many people from Bronxville in her writing that her columns were referred to by locals as "a Bronxville Family Affair." In all, Louise wrote eleven books about gardening. Her voice is pragmatic and pointed, which is why they were popular; gardeners appreciated her no-nonsense advice. For instance, Louise was not a fan of double flowers. In her book, "The Fragrant Path" from 1932, she wrote: “Some flowers are, I am sure, intended by a wise God to remain single. The hyacinth doubled, for instance, is a fat abomination.” Louise wrote for a number of publications, and her writing was published in many prominent periodicals like the Journal of The Royal Horticultural Society of England and the New York Times. House and Garden alone published close to a hundred and fifty articles by Louise. Many of Louise's columns were collected and published as books. A year before she died, Louise was honored with the Gold Medal for Horticultural Achievement from the Garden Club of America. It was the pinnacle moment in her career, and it came as Louise and her children were still grieving the loss of her husband. In the Spring of 1934, Walter had committed suicide after a long battle with mental illness. Louise wrote prolifically about gardening and plants. Her experiences resulted in increasing the awareness of different plant species, gardening practices, and she helped shape the gardens of her time. Louise gave us many wonderful garden quotes. On Snowdrops: “Theirs is a fragile but hardy celebration…in the very teeth of winter.” On Rosemary, “It makes a charming pot plant, neat, svelte, with its dark, felt-lined leaves held sleek against its sides. The smell… is keen and heady, resinous, yet sweet, with a hint of nutmeg.” On Roses: “Over and over again, I have experienced the quieting influence of rose scent upon a disturbed state of mind.” On gardening: “In the garden, every person may be their own artist without apology or explanation. Each within their green enclosure is a creator, and no two shall reach the same conclusion.” Louise is buried with her parents in lot 41 in Lakeside Cemetery in Wakefield, Massachusetts. It was a shock to read that her grave is unmarked and to see that it is completely unadorned - without any flowers - nor does it rest under the shade of a tree.   Unearthed Words 1782Today is the birthday of the English poet and literary critic Ann Taylor. Her sister Jane was a poet as well. Ann famously said, “The most important thing is to wear a smile.” Here's a collection of poems about the garden by Ann Taylor.   Come And Play In The Garden Little sister, come away, And let us in the garden play, For it is a pleasant day. On the grass-plat let us sit, Or, if you please, we'll play a bit, And run about all over it. But the fruit we will not pick, For that would be a naughty trick, And very likely make us sick. Nor will we pluck the pretty flowers That grow about the beds and bowers, Because you know they are not ours. We'll take the daisies, white and red, Because mamma has often said That we may gather then instead. And much I hope we always may Our very dear mamma obey, And mind whatever she may say.   The Gaudy Flower Poem Why does my Anna toss her head, And look so scornfully around, As if she scarcely deigned to tread Upon the daisy-dappled ground? Does fancied beauty fire thine eye, The brilliant tint, the satin skin? Does the loved glass, in passing by, Reflect a graceful form and thin? Alas! that form, and brilliant fire, Will never win beholder's love; It may, indeed, make fools admire, But ne'er the wise and good can move. So grows the tulip, gay and bold, The broadest sunshine its delight; Like rubies, or like burnished gold, It shows its petals, glossy bright. But who the gaudy floweret crops, As if to court a sweet perfume! Admired it blows, neglected drops, And sinks unheeded to its doom. The virtues of the heart may move Affections of a genial kind; While beauty fails to stir our love, And wins the eye, but not the mind.   The Field Daisy I'm a pretty little thing, Always coming with the spring; In the meadows green, I'm found, Peeping just above the ground, And my stalk is covered flat With a white and yellow hat. Little Mary, when you pass Lightly o'er the tender grass, Skip about, but do not tread On my bright but lowly head, For I always seem to say, "Surely winter's gone away."   Grow That Garden Library The Seed Underground: by Janisse Ray The subtitle of this book is: A Growing Revolution to Save Food. Ray writes: “There is no despair in a seed. There's only life, waiting for the right conditions-sun and water, warmth and soil-to be set free. Every day, millions upon millions of seeds lift their two green wings.” Ray's book takes us to the frontier of seed-saving. She shares beautiful stories from gardeners around the country who are working to preserve our food by growing old varieties, heirlooms, and eating them. Gardeners will love this book because, as a gardener, Ray is relatable, and her stories feature ordinary gardeners who are trying to save open-pollinated varieties of old-time seeds - the true treasures in our Gardens. Ray's book is not just about gardening, but also about preserving our food by saving seeds before they disappear. Ray helps us understand why seeds are under threat and why a lack of seed diversity is something that should concern all of us. Ray is a writer, naturalist, and poet. This is one of my favorite books on this topic, so I hope you'll check it out.

Elizabeth was the second wife of William Wirt, who served as an attorney general of the United States. They had ten children. In 1829, Elizabeth wrote her floral dictionary.  She published it anonymously, using the very mysterious name ‘by a Lady.’ Wirt featured lovely tidbits in her dictionary - quotes and prose by poets and writers accompanied the information for each plant. Her dictionary also included extraneous information that would be of interest to gardeners in the early to mid-1800s: the Structure of Plants, the Structure of Flowers, and a sketch on the Life of Linnaeus. Elizabeth shared all she knew about the history of each flower she featured in her dictionary. Gardeners adored her book. It was republished every two years. In the 1835 edition, Elizabeth finally felt confident enough to publish the book using her name "Mrs. E. W. Wirt of Virginia.”The final edition of her book was published in in 1855 it was the first book of its kind in the United States to feature colored plates. You can see a copy of Wirt's dictionary online for free.

In China, July is the month of the lotus. Recently I shared a video in the Facebook Group for the Showfrom the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburghwhich shows Senior Horticulturist, Pat Clifford, teaching their intern Hazel, how to remove the older leaves of the Giant Water Lily so the pond does not get overcrowded. Using a pitchfork, Pat carefully folds the large lily pad first in half, then quarters, and then once more. Then he stabs the large folded pad with the pitchfork, hoists it in the air to let the water drain out and then flops the beast down on the edge of the pond. The camera zooms in to reveal the most savage thorns that grow on the underside of the lily pad and all down the stem of the plant. It was so surprising to see how viscous the thorns are - rivaling the thorniest rose.     Brevities   #OTD It's the anniversary of the day that Captain Cook arrived in England in 1771.  He had successfully led that first voyage to Australia. But, neither Cook, nor his botanist Joseph Banks, realized that the quartz reef where they planted the British Flag contained gold. The area would remain untouched by Europeans for almost two more decades. And, Cook's ship, the Endeavor, had somehow managed to survive the trials of sailing on the Great Barrier Reef and River. Before he sailed for England, Cook worried the Endeaver wouldn't make it around the Cape of Good Hope. In a fateful decision, Cook had brought the ship to Batavia, a Dutch colony, in order to fortify his ship. Batavia was a dangerous place. Malaria and dysentery were rampant. As a result of his stop in Batavia, Cook lost a staggering 38 members of his crew. The botanists, Banks and Solander, managed to survive the stop, although at one point they were both gravely ill. Even as they battled back from illness, they still went out to collect specimens. So, on this day, in 1771, Cook and Banks and Solander make it home to England. 365 days later, Cook would be setting sail once more, but this time Banks would not be going with.  Instead, a German, Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg—would be the botanists for his next big adventure.       #OTD Today, in 1835, Charles Darwin wrote a letter to his friend John Stevens Henslow.   He wrote:   “In a few days time the Beagle will sail for the Galapagos Islands. I look forward with joy and interest to this, both as being somewhat nearer to England and for the sake of having a good look at an active volcano.” Throughout his life, Darwin exchanged letters with Henslow, professor of Botany and Mineralogy at Cambridge University,  Their correspondence was a powerful influence on Darwin; helping to shape his thinking about the natural world.   And, it was thanks to Henslow that Darwin received the invitation to join captain Robert FitzRoy on the HMS Beagle. Henslow had written a letter recommending Darwin for the journey because of his like-able personality. When they were young, Henslow and Darwin had walked the Cambridgeshire countryside together. Their walks inspired Darwin to study the natural world and to travel. Once Darwin was part of team Beagle, Henslow presented Darwin with a copy of Humboldt's Narrative, an account of Humboldt's travels in South America. In it, Henslow had inscribed these words:   "J. S. Henslow to his friend C. Darwin on his departure from England upon a voyage around the World. 21st Sept. 1831."   Darwin treasured this gift above all others and at his death, the book was safely brought to Cambridge University Library where it remains to this day.     Unearthed Words   #OTD  It's the birthday of Henry David Thoreau, born on this day in 1817.    National Simplicity Day is observed on July 12th in his honor.  Thoreau was an advocate for living a life of simplicity. Thoreau said all of these things: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." ”The question is not what you look at, but what you see." "Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders."  "Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw."     Today's book recommendation: Gardens Are for People by Thomas Church    Church is one of the most influential American landscape architects of the twentieth century. Church's ideas on the 'modern' landscape revolutionized residential landscape design; changing the look of the suburban back yard.  His notion that the suburban backyard should be an extension of the house, essentially creating an outdoor room, was revolutionary. Gardens Are for Peoplecontains the essence of Thomas Church's design philosophy and much practical advice. His four design principles include: • Unity  • Function  • Simplicity • Scale The book is loaded with photographs of some of the 2,000 gardens designed by Church. It was Thomas Church who said: "When your garden is finished I hope it will be more beautiful that you anticipated, require less care than you expected, and have cost only a little more than you had planned."       Today's Garden Chore   Propagate pelargoniums through cutting. If you've never taken cuttings of your pelargoniums before, you will be delighted with the results. Pelargoniums are also known as cranesbills or hardy geraniums. All you need to do is snip off short lengths of your favorite pelargonium, remove any leaves from the lower part of the stem that will get pushed into your growing medium, dip the stem in some rooting powder, and then place it in the pot.  Pelargoniums root so easily - you'll have many new plants in just a few weeks.     Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   Over the years, people have left their hearts in San Francisco. The author Rudyard Kipling said, "San Francisco has only one drawback – ’tis hard to leave." Paul Kanter of Jefferson Airplane,  said, "San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality." Ashleigh Brilliant, author and cartoonist, said, "There may not be a Heaven, but there is San Francisco." The writer William Saroyan said, "If you’re not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life." During this week in 1969, newspapers across the country were sharing this little snippet about San Francisco.  "San Francisco was originally known as Yerba Buena. Spanish for "good herb," a small mint-like plant early explorers found."       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

In den Geschichten von William Saroyan passiert nicht so viel. Und doch werden die handelnden Personen zu Helden.

Screen Director's Playhouse, The Human Comedy starring Mickey Rooney, originally broadcast September 9, 1949, 69 years ago - MGM hacked William Saroyan's screenplay to pieces so horribly that Saroyan rewrote the original screenplay as a novel and released it about the time the movie was released. The final movie was much softer and sappier than Saroyan's movie, so NBC hacked it up and made it practically diabetic. Mickey Rooney reprised his critically hailed performance as a telegram delivery boy who finds out a little of what life is all about.

She was barely an adult, had a unique hairstyle, waz a heavy drinker, diagnosed with a mental illness and – for a few years in the early 1940s – was a huge star in Hollywood. Within less than 10 years, even while starring in a few huge films, she disappeared from Hollywood. Years later, she would be discovered working as a waitress in a hotel in New York City.

Pulitzer Prize-winning dramas hit North Bay stages, first with the Raven Players production of Neil Simon’s Lost in Yonkers. Simon, whose best-known works are comedies tinged with a little melancholy (The Odd Couple, The Sunshine Boys) won the 1991 Pulitzer for Yonkers, which is a melancholy family drama tinged with comedy. With their mother deceased and their father off to work to pay off a loan shark he owes for covering his late wife’s medical bills, Jay (Ari Votzaitis) and Arty (Logan Warren) find themselves living for ten months in 1942 with their tyrannical grandmother (Trish DeBaun) and their mentally-challenged Aunt Bella (Priscilla Locke) in Yonkers, New York. Grandma Kurnitz is cold, demanding, and unable to express affection of any kind. She does not want the children there, but Bella does. The battle is on, first between Kurnitz and her grandchildren, but ultimately between mother and daughter. Director Joe Gellura has a strong ensemble at work in this piece with laughs generated by Warren as Simon’s alter ego. The key performance is delivered by Locke, excellent as the daughter simply looking for a little happiness in her life. It’s a sensitive performance that grounds this show and gives it more heart than one expects from a typical Simon play. ‘Lost in Yonkers ' runs Friday through Sunday through April 15 at the Raven Performing Arts Center. 115 North St., in Healdsburg. Friday & Saturday evenings at 8pm; Sunday matinee at 2pm. For more information, go to raventheater.org There may be no more “community theatre” in our area than the folks at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center. A glance through the bios in their programs shows a mix of trained veterans, community actors, and a fair number of newcomers. This willingness to cast from the community, while commendable, often leads to a variance in the quality of their productions. Their current presentation of William Saroyan’s prize-winning-but-severely-dated The Time of Your Life is a good example. The show, a sort of pre-WWII Cheers, has a cast of sixteen with various levels of experience playing the denizens of a San Francisco dive bar circa 1939. There’s no real plot, just a variety of human flotsam and jetsam floating through the tavern. In an early scene, one character asks another if a performance they’re watching is any good. The response – “It’s awful, but it’s honest and ambitious...” I can’t improve on Saroyan. 'The Time of Your Life' runs Friday through Sunday through April 15 at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center, 209 N. Cloverdale Blvd., in Cloverdale. Friday & Saturday evening at 7:30pm; Sunday matinee at 2pm. For more information, go to cloverdaleperformingarts.com.

Today on WordsWithWings I share some old favorites and celebrate the blue moon!

Aaron is, first and foremost, a creative. Following his professional training in musical theatre at the London School of Musical Theatre, Aaron performed in productions, light entertainment and events in venues all over Europe. Following his performance career, Aaron briefly entered the business side of things as a producer, working on two major productions at the Finborough Theatre; the World Premiere of When Midnight Strikes, a musical by Charles Miller and Kevin Hammonds and a revival of the William Saroyan classic The Time of Your Life. Realising that producing wasn’t quite what Aaron was destined for, he joined Red Hot Entertainment as an agent and worked alongside the team before leaving to create his own boutique agency called Davis-Prior Associates. Following the birth of his first child, Aaron took the tough and heartbreaking decision to close the agency.In recent years, Aaron has developed his passion for creativity and imagery into a photography business and now provides portraiture and event photography services including, for example, headshot shoots, weddings and, of course, theatre production shots. Aaron has also been teaching theatre to young people for a number of years, principally at The Arts Centre Telford, a highly regarded performance and education company in Shropshire.Now Aaron lives in Denmark with his Danish wife and two children, is continuing to build his photography business both in the UK and Denmark and is working on a number of other projects, all (of course) creative!More about AaronWebsiteTwitterInstagramMore about Nicky@nickyraby across all social platformsmail: hello@nickyraby.com

In this short bonus episode, TFAL presents a retelling of the short story, “The Filipino and the Drunkard.”  Written in 1935 by William Saroyan, this short story tells the tale of a young Filipino who is aboard a ferry boat in 1930s San Francisco.  While waiting to go across the Bay to visit his brother,...

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a LegacyWelcome to Day 480 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomFailure is the Best Teacher – Wisdom UnpluggedThank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 480 of our trek, and it is Tuesday and time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today's trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let's jump right in with today's nugget. Today's quote is from William Saroyan says, “Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.”There is a purifying effect when you have to go through trials, tribulations, and failures. If you persevere through those times, you are able to gain a measure of goodness coupled with wisdom, insight, and understanding. Each season of trials and failures should work to make you even more resolute to continue on doing what is right, just, and fair. Trials, tribulations, and failures are much better teachers than success if you are willing to learn the lessons that are being taught. You should never allow failure to permanently defeat you but allow it to teach you the lessons that are available. Remember to keep moving forward, learn the lessons, gain wisdom, and enjoy your journey. As Jesus's half brother James told us in his letter in Chapter 1 verses 2-4, “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” That's a wrap for today's Wisdom Unplugged.

"Screen Directors Playhouse" -- "The Human Comedy." Starring Mickey Rooney, originally broadcast on September 9, 1949. MGM hacked William Saroyan's screenplay to pieces so horribly that Saroyan rewrote the original screenplay as a novel and released it about the time the movie was released. The final movie was much softer and sappier than Saroyan's movie, so NBC hacked it up and made it practically diabetic. Mickey Rooney reprises his critically hailed performance as a telegram delivery boy who finds out a little of what life is all about.
