You know that this is the show a young Clyde Beatty joined when they played Washington Court House, Ohio, in late summer.

Shoepeg corn is a very sweet and tender corn, sold frozen here in upstate New York.
A neighbor, a farmer, introduced this to me years ago.
Excellent corn; almost melts in your mouth. That's all I know.

In Munich there is a little movie theater a block from Krone Winter Quarters that presents English language films. It is all reserve seats, you can get an advance ticket at the box office, or even call in a reservation, & always full house. They serve two versions of popcorn, salty, & sweet.
