This Weekend’s LRPA After Dark
Feature:
1940’s “His Girl Friday”
Join Lakes Region Public Access
Television at 10:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday night (July 29
& 30) for our “LRPA After Dark” presentation of 1940’s romantic
comedy “His Girl Friday,” starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell
and Ralph Bellamy.
In “His Girl Friday,” we meet ace reporter Hildy Johnson
(Russell), who resigned from her job at a top Chicago newspaper
four months ago – but try telling that to her former editor and
husband Walter Burns (Grant), who has been sending her telegrams
night and day, trying to get her to return to her post. She has
gotten a quickie divorce and is set to marry the perfectly nice
but awfully dull insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin (Bellamy) the
very next day. Walter, who admits he was a good boss but a bad
husband, doesn’t want to lose her, either as a reporter or as
the love of his life. When he learns of this development, Walter
pulls out all the stops to convince Hildy to write one last big
story – the story of her career! – about convicted murderer Earl
Williams, a man whose case was bungled by the local sheriff, and
who is scheduled to be executed within 24 hours. She
pursues the story while Walter finds more ways to impede the
wedding. As Walter works by Hildy’s side, she must figure out
what she really wants in life.
Adapted from the popular stage play “The Front Page,” and
directed by the legendary Howard Hawks, it’s no wonder that “His
Girl Friday” is considered to be a classic screwball comedy and
a masterpiece of mid-20th century filmmaking. It is one of the
first films to use fast-paced, overlapping dialogue,
particularly in scenes where the characters are wittily sparring
with one another. All of the well-cast actors give top-notch
performances, particularly Grant and Russell, who ad-libbed some
of their clever dialogue. New York Times critic Frank S. Nugent
called “’His Girl Friday’ … the maddest newspaper comedy
of our times.” What’s not to love? “Grab your popcorn and
join LRPA after dark for this romantic screwball classic from
the past.

Letter To The Editor
Those Seductive Federal Grants
Last week I described a new rule called Affirmatively Furthering
Fair Housing (AFFH), just passed by the Federal Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It applies to all
localities that have ever accepted HUD funds, and it should be a
cautionary tale for those states and towns enticed by the lure
of “free” Federal money.
The Ethics and Policy Center explains
what this rule does in order to promote what it calls “Fair
Housing:”
“AFFH gives the federal government a
way to re-engineer nearly every American neighborhood, imposing
a preferred racial and ethnic composition,...weakening or
casting aside the authority of local governments over core
responsibilities such as zoning, transportation, and education.”
Here’s what HUD is doing in Dubuque, Iowa. It’s
requiring Dubuque to recruit low-income tenants from
Chicago for its Section 8 housing, even though Dubuque is in
another state and over 200 miles away.
It’s all part of the Obama Administration’s goal of
regionalizing the nation, removing local control from states,
counties, and towns. According to Deborah Thornton, Research
Analyst for the Public Interest Institute, “These regions
will be directed by unelected governing boards who do not report
to the voters.”
She continues, “Once they lose local
control of housing, then schools, zoning, transportation, the
environment, and business location will be next. The central
planners of HUD intend to... force every region of the U.S. to
meet nationally determined standards for the management and
makeup of every aspect of our local communities.”
Self-rule will rapidly diminish,
replaced by directives from Washington bureaucrats. Only
Congress or a new President can change this.
Consequently, the Public Interest
Institute warns against accepting Federal grants. “It cannot be
said too often: if you take their money, you play by their
rules. Their rules are not pretty.”
