When I was a lad of twelve I thought Jane was the most beautiful girl in the world.

Parley Baer set this up, after the show we went across the street to the White Buffalo? and had dinner.
She and her husband Dickie Moore were exact opposites, she rather reserved while he was busy cutting up jackpots.
Mr. Moore died not long ago, was very active in SAG, etc.
One night we were at that place and seated a few tables over were Paul Binder and Maria Schell.

Dickie Moore was on TCM a few years back with 3 other famous child stars.
There was a movie he was on and the famous C B Demille was the director. Dickie said a take did not go the way DeMille wanted and almost hit Dickie with his whip.
The lady that is there when kids stars are present yelled at DeMille if you hit him I will close this picture down NOW.
So Dickie never worked on any DeMille pictures in the future.
Dickie and Stymie are my favorites on the Our Gang comedies.

Ms. Powell just turned 84 on April 1. She shares that birthday with her pal, Debbie Reynolds, who is 81. Both look fine. Look for Dickie Moore's book on child stars, TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR.
