NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

But first a rage, a vent about computers. Maybe it's the dang heat out here, but my computer is on the fritz and I'm angry about it.

Max Groman from the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood really showed showmanship, as well as thinking on his feet. And if you've heard this story, well just chalk it up to my anger.

Norma Shearer, I believe, was the actress' name. She got out of her car or limo, I won't embellish since I don't know, and planted her foot right in some freshly poured concrete at the Chinese Theatre in the 1930's. Max, the entrepreneur, announced that she was the first to have her footprint along with her signature (which he requested on the spot)displayed in concrete in front of his theatre.

Now that is one of the best examples of quick response that I've ever heard of. Plus, look what it did for him. All because of carelessness on Miss Shearer's part and the Groman concrete workers, he like Mary Tyler Moore, took a bad day and turned it into a great one.

Even though it wasn't in Minneapolis.
