We received an email from our club member Robert Sage:

I just received a listing of upcoming concerts at the University of Southern California. Among them:
Friday, February 7 at 7:00 pm in the Alfred Newman Recital Hall (free admission): “Opera Scenes”. The description reads: “The singing actors of the USC Thornton Opera program present an exciting and wide-ranging selection of excerpts from grand opera to operetta featuring music from the work of American legend Jeanette MacDonald”.

1939 A Beverly Hills shop, acting for a wealthy client, made MGM a $10,000 offer to buy Jeanette's entire wardrobe of 18 dresses from "Sweethearts". The studio wanted $10,000 for it. According to the article: "If the deal goes through, it will be the first of its kind in Hollywood history."
