Above: Jeanette MacDonald takes a bow after her Hollywood Bowl recital, September 1948.

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”.

For more information about this, go to this link. And thanks, Robert, for alerting us!

Thanks to Maria Escano for bringing this to our attention:

Hello Everyone:

Just got a kick out of Indian Love Call sung by Bing and Nanette in this TV episode of the Hollywood Palace, March 26, 1966. It starts at about 3:50
Bing Crosby and Nanette Fabray give us a musical history lesson and show that everything old is new again.

Apparently love duets throughout the years go something like this: cavemen uggs ? “Greensleeves” ? the minuet ? opera ? the Floradora Girls ? Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy ? “Baby It’s Cold Outside” ? discotheque uggs.
