I realize this is only an artist's rendering, but those two horses and standing rider look as though they are about to wipe out into the 2nd row of refined ladies and gentlemen.
Dick,
Where is Mr. Dominick Jando? I've been waiting for him to come back and explain something's. He must be really busy. Tell him we'll wait. Would he know if this Ashley was European or American?

John Herriott once told me that on opening night in the Garden, during the elephant/teeter-board number, Gunther would fake a fall into the Feld family private box and sometimes even wind up in Irvin's lap.
History failed to record who styled afterward, Gunther or Irvin.
I would think that because he was the Lord of the Ring's he would have to be more creative with his sucking up. I wouldn't have expected him to grovel at the back door, in a line.

Wade,
It's AsTley with a T and he's English (you better study more before the exam!).
Dick
Dick,
Didn't know there was an exam coming. Can you give me advance warning next time?
Wade Burck
P.S. Buckles,
I am sure it was Gunther. Irvin alway's seemed more concerned with the box office, and not styling. That's my take on him.
Wade Burck
Addendum to Dick,
That was my point, thank you. I knew he was English. Sorry for the typo, will try harder next time.
Wade Burck
Wade,
I think that we will both have to go back to school to learn how to answer these very literate comments that have suddenly appeared. Wonder what is next after spelling, maybe diction?
Bob Kitto
Wade,I thought you were used to exams. Aren't your tigers testing you all the time?
Dick
Dick,
Come on. This is Wade Burck. They know better then that. LOL
Dick I was so eager to get that last one out I forgot to sign my name, and ask you to contact me. I need some historical help. Wade Burck
