		Bertie escaped, but the banjolele was swallowed by some musical flames (Jeeves applauding).
		To get the record straight: the tooting deputy (a chap who called himself Brinkley) was sacked on the spot, and Jeeves returned to Bertie (who never touched any banjolele again).
		Where, in the PGW universe, a man's age has been left uncertain, the commission granted him the benefit of the doubt.

		We start with Jeeves' first appearance "Jeeves Takes Over." The other stories seem all to take place in New York City; and in two of them, Bertie is required to relinquish his flat so that some elderly relative of a friend will think it is the flat of the nephew.

	Pun of the Day: Past Features (in association with Amazon.com)
		A magnificent visual book in full color with over 120 photos about the making of the major feature film Chicago, based on the award-winning musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse.

		This lavish set contains film versions of the five major works by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, who helped define the American musical landscape and rewrite the direction of musical theater.

	TheBullRocks.com .::93.7 The Bull::. {KSD - St. Louis}
		Lloyd Webber and Rice then split, with the composer writing film scores and working on an abortive musical with playwright Alan Ayckbourne (Jeeves), after which Rice returned with another audacious idea: a musical based on the life of Argentine dictator (or dictator's wife, depending on how you look at it) Eva Peron.
		Lloyd Webber debuted a musical adaptation of the Billy Wilder film Sunset Boulevard in the early '90s and it proved to be one of his rare disappointments, failing to earn either good reviews or healthy ticket sales.
		Lloyd Webber saw his share of shows as a child, too, but he was born in London, the son of William Lloyd Webber, Director of the London College of Music, and was trained at the Royal Academy of Music, hardly the sort of place where you'd be likely to hear Oklahoma!

	What A Character!
		When his film career began in the early 1930s, Treacher seemed to be Hollywood’s idea of the perfect butler, and he even headlined as the famous butler “Jeeves” in Thank You Jeeves and Step Lively Jeeves--based on the P.G. Wodehouse character.
		He established a stage career after returning from World War I, and by 1928 he had come to America as part of a musical-comedy revue called Great Temptations.
		Born Arthur Veary Treacher in Brighton, East Sussex, England, he was the son of a lawyer, but his own talents were as a comedic performer.

		Laurie is utterly charming as Bertie, who lives in fear of his Aunt Agatha and whose butt is constantly being saved by his butler Jeeves, played to perfection by Stephen Fry.
		He and Fry were also given a chance to do their own series and came up with "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie," which during its run introduced viewers to Gordon and Stewart, Spies, many amusing Vox Pop and even a few musical cocktails.
		Ben Elton described this show as having a "slightly larger cast than audience," but that would definitely not be true of Laurie's next projects, which included "Blackadder," "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie," and "Jeeves and Wooster." It had a bit of a shaky start, but "Blackadder" went on to become enormously popular.

		Sure to give any coffee table a solid workout, the handsome and heavy 1,250-page "legacy book" is a must for fervent fans; over 4,300 single-panel comics with more than half in color and 1,100 that have not appeared in any book form before (the popular--and far less weighty--paperback collections).

		Replete with farcical sight gags, ingenious plot twists, nimble word play, inventive staging and tuneful melodies, By Jeeves is a delightful contemporary take on the 1920's style of the English musical comedy.
		This television production features a stellar international cast, including Canadian Heath Lamberts (Sir Watkyn Bassett), veteran British stage and television actor Martin Jarvis (Jeeves), John Scherer (Bertie Wooster), Donna Lynne Champlin (Honoria Glossop), Don Stephenson (Bingo Little), James Kall (Gussie-Fink Nottle), Becky Watson (Madeline Bassett) and Emily Loesser (Stiffy Byng).

	P.G. Wodehouse
		Wodehouse was an outstanding literary craftsman who learned how to write economically and give his stories structure and balance from an early training in the hard schools of journalism and Broadway musical theatre.
		During this same fertile period, some of his most famous characters were born: Lord Emsworth and Blandings Castle made their first appearance in Something New/Something Fresh (1915) while the valet Jeeves and his master Bertie Wooster appeared in the short stories in My Man Jeeves (1919).
		Wodehouse and his wife, Ethel, were still at their house near Le Touquet when the German army arrived in May 1940.

	DVD.net : By Jeeves - DVD Review
		The ordeal is staged as a village church-hall musical offering, with Bertie aided or hindered by such old acquaintances from the books as Stiffy Byng, Honoria Glossop, Gussie Fink-Nottle (without his newts) and other old pals and pursuing femmes.
		They can't help save this shipwreck of a concert, which is every bit as hideous as some of the concerts Wodehouse himself describes.
		If it can't even raise a laugh or two.

	NewStandard: 11/17/96
		There's a charm in this minimalism, which unfortunately gets diluted in the laborious story line of "By Jeeves." In it, there are several sets of mismatched lovers sporting such blissfully eccentric names as Gussie Fink-Nottle, Stiffy Byng, Bingo Little, Honoria Glossop, Cyrus Budge III and the ever-popular Stinker Pinker.
		Bertie conjures up this musical diversion with a minimum of props and scenery, something of a change from such set-driven Lloyd Webber extravaganzas as "Cats," "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Sunset Boulevard."
		Ayckbourn to crank up his tale to full speed.
