"You know, what you're tryin' to do is just about the nicest thing that ever happened to me."

"I don't know what you -"

"Oh yes you do. You're tryin' to pass up your biggest chance, just because they don't want me. Well you're goin' on, honey. You're gonna climb to the top."

"But Tim... What about you?"

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

1930

In 1929 Moss Hart accepts a job as social director in the Catskills and stages plays at the YMHA in Newark. Eventually. he takes the advice of his agent and writes a comedy, Once in a Lifetime, which deals with the early days of Hollywood films. Sam Harris agrees to produce it if George S. Kaufman will collaborate on the script and also direct. Kaufman consents, but the Atlantic City opening is a failure, and he considers quitting. It finally opens to rave reviews in New York City in September 1930, thus beginning the long-lasting Kaufman-Hart collaboration.

The Atlantic City premiere was staged at Nixon’s Apollo Theatre in May 1930. Helen Hayes performed there in Clarence and The Golden Age in 1919. The theatre was also used as a dance hall in the 1920s. The front door was located on South New York Avenue but the side was along the world-famous Boardwalk. It was eventually converted to a cinema and was demolished in the 1970’s.

In 1959, Moss Hart wrote an autobiographical book titled “Act One” which chronicled his out-of-town troubles with Once in a Lifetime.  The book was filmed in 1963 and staged in 2014. Hart wrote:

"I never want to go any place where I can't get back to Broadway and 44th by midnight." ~ George S. Kaufman

~ from “Moss Hart: A Prince of the Theatre” by Jared Brown

The play then did a short stint at the Brighton Theatre in Brooklyn, a vaudeville house gone legit for the summer. 

After doctoring, the play continued it’s out-of-town tryouts in Philadelphia at the Lyric Theatre before tackling the Big Apple. 

Once in a Lifetime opened on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre on September 24, 1930 and ran for 305 performances. George Kaufman announced at the opening night curtain call that "80% of this show is Moss Hart."

It was filmed in 1932, by Universal starring Jack Oakie, Sidney Fox, Louise Fazenda, Aline MacMahon, and Zasu Pitts.

The show's immense size kept it from being revived for many years (20 men,19 women, plus extras; 5 sets), until the Royal Shakespeare Company produced a smash revival in 1977. A 1978 Broadway revival at Circle in the Square restored the show's reputation in the States and many repertory theaters have produced it since. In the winter of 2005, London's National Theatre produced a first-class revival.

Did you think the show queer-coded ben and eloise? and how do you think this will play out in their respective stories?

I think sophie’s story really can’t be genderflipped in the time period and then if they made the show colourblind-ish (we all agree that explanation was better left unsaid and let us pretend we were in an alternate reality) are they going to have queer characters like the guy lucy abernathy was engaged to. I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this.

I have never actually been asked this!

I don’t think they queer-coded anything regarding either of the Eloise or Benedict, but when it comes to Benedict, I was left with the impression of having been queer-bated. Like, is it just me was was there definitely sexual/romantic chemistry between him and Sir Henry Granville?!? Plus, why did they choose to specifically show that scene with Sir Henry and Lord Wetherby having sex and Benedict accidentally looking in on them in the trailer?

Of course, in the actual show, they immediately had Benedict fall into a threesome with two women after seeing Henry and Wetherby, presumably to prove that, why yes, Benedict is absolutely straight. And then they had that cutesy dialogue with him and Sir Henry where Ben was given a whole spiel on fighting for unconventional love which may be hinting at his future cross-class relationship with Sophie. Although I’m not sure that’s exactly a good equivalent.

As for Eloise, just because she isn’t interested in a conventional courtships/marriage, I didn’t read that automatically as queer-coding her. What I did read her as was an obnoxious, teenage “not-like-other-girls” girl. I’ve said this before, but between her debut and getting married, I honestly hope she tries to use her intellect and privilege for good (maybe becomes an advocate for early female education or the founding/funding of girls schools for the poor or something like that, which would be period-appropriate rather than trying to get girls admitted into Eton or Oxford) instead whining for an entire season about how annoying it is being a debutante and categorically rejecting all her suitors. 

Poor Lord Hasselby (Lucy’s former fiance). I hope they give him a better ending than they did in the books which was just... meh. As for Sophie, I don’t think they’ll be gender-flipping her, only because it doesn’t seem like something they’d take that risk with. Bridgerton, for all it tries to appear unconventional and revolutionary, apart from gratuitous straight sex and one minor gay sex scene, they really aren’t pushing any boundaries here.

6 10/..

12 35/..

rainy morning F56° at 7 10 – breakfast, and off to visiter les travaux intérieurs de la houillère  de Ste. Marguerite at 8 10 – drove there in 6 minutes the staith being just out of the barrier ......... (right) – commodious yard, sheds etc not many coals up – 3 long brick chimneys – for the pumping engine 100 horse power works (pumps) 48 hours per week – the pulling engine 40 horse power – and the air chimney or vent – shewn into the bureau of the clerk or accountant or what? very civil man –expecting us – we had thought of going down in the panier – the clerk evidently for our going down by the echelles – (ladders) – more safe – had known accidents happen the other way – the chain had broken it seemed some onetime or more since the putting up of the engine – perhaps he thought we should feel sick en descendant – for A-‘s sake he was right – we had brought each a blue blouse from the hotel  and A- a casquette and I my velvet travelling cap (my Mt. Perdu cap given by Lady S. de R-) I gladly took a miners’ leather hat offered by the clerk – the gown well tied up right round the waste [waist] under the blouse and a Davy or safety lamp tied with a strongish cord round our middle 2 doll figures (accompanied by a man and intelligent French speaking youth belonging to the establishment and within his old coat and cap) down we set off at 8 ½ by the ladders common ladders but very good and safe – I should guess the steps to be about 18in. long sticks and about 12 in. distant from each other –

SH:7/ML/E/21/0099

 and perhaps the ladders about 5 yards long? – we got down very well for several ladders till my lamp (quincaille) not being fast enough tied, slipped off and fell down 3 or 4 ladders with a great noise which (poor A- not understanding) rather unnerved her – the lad went 1st then I, then A- and then the man, then George – we could not have fallen down more than 1 ladder even had we slipped for at the foot of each ladder is  a narrow landing as at a, c, e so that we might have fallen without being killed or even very much hurt – but on turning into one of the souterrains at the foot I think the land said the 17th ladder (the depth however = 120 metres = 240 yards +) A- seemed tired and complained of great fatigue in her arms – (she had leaned too much on them in taking hold of the steps as she descended) and after examining the passage where we were (along the last 2/3 of the ladders it had been very wet from the drip of the sides of the excavation) she thought she had better return as we had not descended to ½ the depth – she was right – I put her under the especial care of the man – he returned with her quite safely and I found her just washed and dressed and comfortable on my return home – she said the returning was much less fatiguing than going down and she really did not seem very much tired – however she was poorly sometime afterwards from about 1 ½ till after 4 when we went to see the opening of the exposition of pictures at the musée old church of St. André – said she did not feel quite well on getting up this morning – as soon as I had seen A- well off en route au jour , I and the lad and George set off again downwards – and at 9 20 we were at the bottom  our speed having nearly doubled since poor A- had left us – I felt as if I had got into the habit of going down, and as if sorry that the 140ft. below us could not be visited because full of water – old works – the reservoir for the water in the intervals of pumping –we had arrived at the lading place at the bottom of the shaft at 9 20 – where the men were unloading the little wagons dragged by men the 1st 80 yards from where got up to the Galloway gate where the horses (15 hands high – 4 ½ ft. of this country or France) dragged waggons 4 at a time to the lading place 8 or 9ft. high a sort of cavern where about 4 men had charge of the un-lading and re-lading into waggon holding 2 of the others ready for the pulling up – we visited les écuries – 15 horses – and looked about – then proceeded some way along the Galloway gate – which except in the higher parts every now and then and where the waggons could pass – might be about 5ft. high and 6ft. wide for some distance the roof was timbered by the greater part was quite sufficient to support itself – a close hard smooth scale [widening] cut the right bate of the stone (according to the national cleavage) – it was extremely hot  - and the road a little sludgy – we were soon put into a train of empty return waggons, and went the rest of the way very agreeably tho’ rather joltingly – a distance of 800 metres from the lading place to where the men were working – about ½ dozen in that spot – others working in different places communicating with this main gate – which might be in general about 5ft. high and 6ft. wide – and perhaps 6ft. high and 8ft. wide and sometimes more in the passing places, where the men often changed the horses from the one train to the other – the bed where we descended to the quatre pieds (the lowest working) was not always of so great thickness the ‘veine’called ‘morais’ is the nest above this – In the 4 pieds bed, the bottom steward told me (he joined us on our getting to the bottom and is the father of the lad who had descended with us) that a man would get fourteen of the small waggons a day = seven of the large waggons which might hold perhaps four of our corves .:. a man would get 28 corves a day, working from 3am to noon = nine hours, and reckon the 28 corves = 3 tons for which he is paid 38 sols – or, the bottom steward said, 38 sols a day – and he himself had four florin a day = about 8 fr. 160 sols – but then he has the superintendence of all the workings and altogether about 150 men employed and under his management – I did not learn how many in the 4 pieds – or how many in the marais or next bed above – about 100 men get coal – and he afterwards said about 70 were employed from 12 at noon (I suppose till 9 which would be this shift or time of working) in making and keeping in repair the roads etc. (straight work? etc) Returned dans le panier – the great square box that would hold 2 of the smaller waggons? or more for it held the bottom steward and lad and myself and George very commodiously and was about breast high – perhaps 4ft. or ft. 6in. square and about 4ft. or 4ft. 6in. deep? – I was too much tired up to get easily to my watch but the man said we should be drawn up in 6 minutes and it seemed about that time and I was at the top again at 11 25 – I should think the pit must be about 5 yards by 3 ½ to 4 yards? – I think we passed 4 openings, or workings opening into the pit – very little tubbing and very nice dry shaft – an [apparently] about 3/4in. iron rod from top to bottom pulls (rings) a bell at the top by which means they know when to let down the panier and when not – a terribly dirty figure and my blouse wet, as also my black stuff petticoat all below the blouse – washed my face and hands put on my cloak to cover all, and went into the bureau with my friend the bottom steward to see the plan of the workings – very extensive – but I could make no near guess as to the quantity of ground worked – perhaps double the length of the Galloway gate or main gate by ½ its length in breadth or 1600 metres x 400 =........ gave the clerk 20fr. and he immediately gave the ½ of it in my presence to the bottom steward, the latter seemed exceedingly pleased, the former said his thank-you so that I fancied he had expected more, but on afterwards asking our landlord, I found I had paid handsomely – the carriage was waiting for me – home at 12 and ordered a fire – A- very glad to see me back – I was more wet from heat than from the water that had fallen on me – had everything to change, and so begin getting all my things out and dressing that it was 2 before I was quite dressed again – then got our boiler to make hot wine and water for A- who was now beginning to be poorly and M. Mathiolis’ coming and talking very loud for an hour knocked her up – shewed him our water boiler and he shewed us a coffee-maker – a sort of still heated by spirit of wine – had cost him 40/. and the silver plates for strainers (tin not good for coffee to stand long in) perhaps would be 10/. more – had not paid for them – Madame Mathioli to go with us at 4 to see the opening of the exhibition of pictures at the musée (old church of St- Andrè) – went to the bookseller in the corner of this Place (St. Lambert) Jacques Desoer for ¼ hour

SH:7/ML/E/21/0100

and bought Granvilles’ Spas of Germany 2 vols. 12mo. 7fr. then with our host and hostess at 4 25 for 1 ½ hour to see the pictures and company – the former not particularly good – the latter the elite of the people in Liège – the burgomaster read a discourse of several pages which lasted about near ½ hour – sitting at a table of green with the governor of the town on his right, and several other gentlemen seated at the table, among the colonel (in uniform) commanding the regiment of Chasseurs now here several ladies seated on chairs ranged at a little distance round the table – unluckily I had not got a chair so that A- and I and our host and hostess all the while – a band of music played at intervals – I was glad of his opportunity of seeing the people – never saw a plainer set of ladies – not one pretty – from the musée M. and Madame M- took us to see the small but very choice collection of pictures at the house of comte d’Outrement (the comte himself at Rome now) – a good Murillo (Madonna and child a Madonna by Guido Remi – a couple of Titians – ditto ditto of Rubens etc. – then looked at M. Mathiolis’ Murillo – would sell it for 1600fr. – a Mr. Alexander Morro had bid him 1500fr. – shewed us his Anglo-French letter – a Mr. William Bolton clericus at Bruges had offered 2000 fr. but on conditions no accepted – shewed us his terribly bad French letter – then went to the bookseller to pay for the Saps of Germany – home at 7 – good dinner (much better than yesterday) at 7 ½ to 9 then A- and I asleep for an hour – had nearly finished our yesterday’s bottle of Hermitage blanc, and drank a demie bouteille of champagne – A- had Oddy – we then set off, and ate 7 oranges a piece after which A- too two pills till 11 20 at which hour F56° - rainy morning till about 9 am afterwards fair finish day

“CHASE YOUR” TRIVIA!

Penner pushed RKO to cast Lucille Ball after he heard her on “The Phil Baker Show”, a popular radio program on which she had just become a regular featured performer.

Part of this film's plot involves Lucille Ball inside of a runaway mobile trailer. Several months after filming this picture, Ball also spent much of her screen time inside of a mobile trailer in the film Next Time I Marry (1938). Later, in one of her better-known film roles, she starred in yet another mobile trailer-themed film in The Long, Long Trailer (1953).

Supporting Cast members Fritz Feld and Bobs Watson were the only two members of the cast to later appear on Lucille Ball’s sitcoms. 

Lucille Ball plays the wife of a bank teller. Working in a bank is something Lucille Ball would get lots of experience at as Lucy Carmichael on “The Lucy Show.” 

Trains also played a major part in episodes of “I Love Lucy,” “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” and “The Lucy Show”. 

Lucy also lands in jail on “I Love Lucy”, “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour,” “The Lucy Show,” and “Here’s Lucy.”
