Activities today: bit of a walk in the morning. Then down to the Museum to lead the 12:00 tour, 10 folks, appreciative.
Back home, some plinking on the guitar and such. At 7pm, a movie. The movie committee picked this: San Francisco from 1936, with Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald, winding up with the 1906 earthquake. Not a great movie. I almost left half way through but I wanted to see how they showed the earthquake. Which was pretty well done for 1936 special effects. Unfortunately they only killed one of the three lead roles.
I asked Joanne if she thought Clark Gable was handsome, she said “I guess had different standards then.” The music was the best part of the show. Certainly MacDonald was a great singer (neither imdb nor Wikipedia suggest that her voice was dubbed).
