Poster for New Members' Night by James Montgomery Flagg, November 15, 1928. The Lambs was America’s first professional theatrical club, established in New York in 1874. As a social club, the Lambs nurtures those active in the arts, as well as those who are supporters, by providing fellowship, activities, and a clubhouse for members. Mark Twain Tonight (with Hal Holbrook) and Stalag 17 were first performed at The Lambs before they went on to national success. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe first met at the Club. Since its founding in 1874, there have been more than 6,700 Lambs.

'Eraserhead' (1977) film
Tumblr media
-watched 4/14/2023- 1 star- on Max
I don't know why this movie got pretty decent reviews- I like David Lynch's far-fetched, comical, horrific, artistic work, but when some of it doesn't make a lick of sense to me, I'm aggravated with myself for having sit there through the entire thing!

July 28th 1746 saw the trials of Jacobite Lords, William Earl of Kilmarnock, George Earl of Cromartie, and Arthur Lord Balmerino began.
The trial of the three Scots peers took place at the House of Lords convened in Westminster Hal, they had been arrested following the collapse of the Jacobite rebellion. William, earl of Kilmarnock, George, earl of Cromartie, and Arthur, Lord Balmerino had all been part of Charles Edward Stuart’s Jacobite uprising.
As was usual, in advance of the proceedings the House authorities wrote to summon all absent peers to hurry to London to be present for the trial. Equally predictably, a flurry of letters then came back from sick and distant members of the House, seeking leave to remain away.
What is particularly striking is that several lords looking to absent themselves all reached for the same excuse. Of 49 members of the Lords who failed to attend the trials, stretching from (the most senior) Frederick Prince of Wales, and his brother, the duke of Cumberland, who was still busy in Scotland stamping out the last traces of rebellion, to the most junior peer Lord Middleton, several wrote in advance to Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, pleading fears of smallpox as their reason for staying away.
Indeed smallpox was an issue in London at this time, but no more so than previous years, although London Smallpox Hospital, established in 1746. A table of diseases for the beginning of July noted the numbers of those suffering certain complaints in London as: consumption 52, convulsion 109, dropsy 15, fever 74 and smallpox 88. By the middle of the month the numbers had declined slightly. Now the table read: consumption 69, convulsion 124, dropsy 22, fever 85 and smallpox 76. Some commentators have said that the Lords not attending were maybe not wanting to be seen to have Jacobite sympathies.
The absence of the 49 lords from the proceedings made no material difference to the progress of the trials. Kilmarnock and Cromartie both pleaded guilty and only Balmerino troubled the House by denying the charges against him. He need not have bothered, as he was found guilty by all lords present in any case.
The following month, Kilmarnock and Balmerino lost their heads on Tower Hill. Cromartie was pardoned, on condition that he never again travelled north of the Trent. The sentence of beheading was, at the time, seen as a privilege of rank, of the ordinary rank and file, the vast majority of 120 convicted to death were executed by hanging, drawing and quartering. Of the remainder, more than six hundred died in prison; 936 were transported to the West Indies to be sold as slaves [which, at that time, meant that they would almost certainly be dead of yellow fever or the like within two years], 121 were banished ‘outside our Dominions’; and 1287 were released or exchanged” Many of those released would have been so due to them joining redcoat army battalions.

*emerges from the abyss*
hallo >:]
here and there i've heard smth about Frederick adopting some kids? could i get some info on that? like, how and why, who's kids they were?
hal-lo 😊
Ofc you can get info on that
Frederick adopts two girls in 1788. One is 17 and the other one is a newborn.
They're the kids of Anna (@schnitzelsemmerl s oc), who died in childbirth.
Freddie and Anna had a compromise that if Anna should die, Freddie is fhe caretaker of her kids (basically what my country considers god parents to do (take care of the kids if the parents can't))
Yeah, Freddie is a girldad! :D

Read Chapter 25: The Tree By the Lake now! Here!
Previously on For the Crown:
Jason Blossom was murdered under suspicious circumstances at the Cooper duchy in the River Kingdom. Unhappy with how Constable Keller was conducting the investigation, Betty Cooper took it upon herself to find the culprit on her own.
Meanwhile, feeling pressure from their own Kingdom, King Frederick and his son Archibald called on their Allied kingdom counterpart, the Serpent Kingdom, to assist them in security and the finding of their killer-at-large.
The Serpent force was led by their own Prince, Jughead Jones, who had been away from the Allied Kingdom for several years in his studies and assignments.
Jughead soon becomes reacquainted with Betty, and after numerous interactions riddled with misunderstanding, begin investigating the mystery together.
Soon, they find that Jason’s kingdom, the Forest Kingdom, has been growing poppies illegally that are then shipped to the Western Free States to make opium.
Jason absconded with the ledger proving such transactions and left it for his betrothed, Polly Cooper, in case their plan of escape failed, which it did, resulting in his death.
Thanks to the poor work of the constable, Hal Cooper was deemed the killer of Jason Blossom, though Betty and Jughead know this to be false.
Before Hal escaped the kingdom in disgrace, he named Betty his heir to step in for Polly Cooper, who chose to join the nunnery after the death of her twins and her betrothed.
Through it all, Jughead and Betty find comfort and love with each other.
Unfortunately after a brutal fight, Jughead and Betty become estranged, just as a bounty was put on Betty’s life, for yet unknown reasons.
Jughead, and a small serpent crew escape into the Serpent Kingdom where after a terrible attack that put Betty’s life in jeopardy, they meet Charles Clayton, Betty’s former betrothed.
After recovery and healing talks with former loves, Betty and Jughead reconcile.
When they arrive at the Keep they are greeted by Jughead’s sister JB who reveals she has been carrying on a love affair with none other than Trevor Brown.
With only one more day before their parents and their troubles converge, the pair want to spend as much time together (alone) as possible…

Ok so as a follower of soniccrazygal, I must ask:
What was Michael's diet when he was recovering from ucn? Or was he sleeping the whole time?
(I believe this was Canon in your ucn au) you mentioned Simon, (Chica mask bully) being able to play Rush E. Has he ever played any of the other impossible songs from the same author/ composer, like Hal of the Mountain King or the other Rushes, like Rush C and Rush G? There's also an Angry Birds Rush remix too, lol
Michael almost didn't sleep for the first 3 weeks, mainly because he was too scared of it all being just a dream, but after OMC made him realize that it was reality he slept a lot.
Regarding his diet, it was mainly composed of light foods, mainly because he was no longer used to eating after more than 30 years of not eating
And regarding Simon, yeah! He can play Hall of the Mountain King, and after Frederick introduced it to the game Angry Birds, he's trying to learn to play the remix!
Mark keeps feeding his friend's obsession with playing impossible music by searching music sheets

Orson Welles and Alan Webb in Chimes at Midnight (Orson Welles, 1965) Cast: Orson Welles, Keith Baxter, John Gielgud, Tony Beckley, Margaret Rutherford, Jeanne Moreau, Norman Rodway, Marina Vlady, Alan Webb, Walter Chiari, Michael Aldridge, Patrick Bedford, Beatrice Welles, Ralph Richardson (voice). Screenplay: Orson Welles, based on plays by William Shakespeare and the chronicles of Raphael Holinshed. Cinematography: Edmond Richard. Production design: Mariano Erdoiza. Film editing: Elena Jaumandreu, Frederick Muller, Peter Parasheles. Music: Angelo Francesco Lavagnino.  Costume design: Orson Welles Falstaff wasn't the role Orson Welles was born to play, it was the role he grew -- and grew -- into. He knew he wasn't the great actor he wanted to be: There are countless stories of Welles ducking out of rehearsing scenes in which he appeared, using stand-ins to avoid performing opposite actors he respected. According to Simon Callow's Orson Welles: One-Man Band, Jeanne Moreau recalled that she waited several days to play one of their scenes together in Chimes at Midnight, and when she asked Welles why he said that he had lost his makeup kit: "I can't do any scenes till it's found," he claimed. "We'll start with the reverse shots of you, the close-ups," a technique he often used in which someone else would feed his lines to the other actor, so that Welles could later do his side of the dialogue by himself. When Moreau found the makeup kit on the set, an assistant urged her not to tell Welles: "He has stage-fright. He hid it himself." It's likely, however, that once you've seen Chimes at Midnight, Welles's Falstaff is the image of Shakespeare's character that will always stick in your mind. Other actors have played him as reckless, destructive, self-deluding, foolish, slovenly, and even at heart malicious -- justifications for all of these interpretations and more are present in the text. Welles plays him as just one step ahead of everyone else, so that Prince Hal's final repudiation comes to Falstaff not as a surprise or a crushing blow, but rather as a fulfillment of something he has always suspected might happen. The close-up of Falstaff's face after Hal's dismissal reveals not so much shock or disappointment as a kind of hurt mixed with "I thought this might happen" and even a little pride at having played a role in Hal's evolution toward kingship. It's a tour de force of silent film acting on Welles's part: For once he's not relying on the familiar resonances of his voice. The film itself was a famous commercial disaster, abetted by hostile critics such as the always unreliable Bosley Crowther of the New York Times, who scared away many potential distributors. It was caught up in a squabble over rights that kept it from being shown theatrically in Welles's lifetime, and it came into its own after it was restored for video release, which is still the only way most of us have seen it. It's also probably the most successful interpretation of Shakespeare for the screen because Welles was not bound by slavish devotion to the source: He picked and chose lines and scenes from at least three Shakespeare plays (Henry IV Parts I and II and Henry V) and arranged them in ways that suited the screen more than the stage. The Battle of Shrewsbury scene is a masterpiece of planning and editing, still endlessly imitated. But the film is also full of grand performances, including Margaret Rutherford as Mistress Quickly, whose account of Falstaff's death is both funny and heartbreaking, and Keith Baxter as a lively but rather sinister Hal. Welles also showcases John Gielgud better than any filmmaker ever did, allowing him to deliver Henry IV's "uneasy lies the head" monologue in his richly poetic manner, even though the performance is somewhat at odds with the more naturalistic ones of the film's other actors. (It's telling, perhaps, that both Welles and Baxter briefly parody Gielgud's delivery when they come to their mock father-son scene.)

The Story.
Pagi itu, dunia terasa gelap, sesak, dan tampak seperti kehilangan sinarnya. Para senat arsitokrat terbangun dipagi hari dari ranjang besar mewah milik mereka. Buckingham terasa dingin, tidak sehangat seperti biasa. Semua orang baik pemilik kastil atau bahkan pekerja sibuk berlalu lalang, para pekerja membawa ember berisikan air bersih, dan yang lainnya hanya dia berdiam diri sembari merapal doa untuk keselamatan penerus raja mereka.
