Talk:Mrs. Parkington

message: I made some corrections and clarifications to the plot. The fact that the Major made his fortune in silver mining in the American West and then moved to New York City and tried to fit in with the established upper class is important to the plot of the film. Also, in the dinner party scene the lawyer explains to Susie why no one is at the dinner; it's not because of the Major's business dealings, but because he insulted an established member of society in the course of applying for membership in an exclusive men's private club (where they were likely looking for an excuse to keep him out anyway as he would have been considered gauche and nouveau riche due to his background). The theme of people who made fortunes in the American West not being socially accepted by New York (or Boston) society occurs in many US novels and films.

message: i'm in the midst of reading a somewhat new account/book re: Dolittle raid.. VERY detailed.. "TARGET TOKYO: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor”. I'm at the point during the execution. SO it was a bit of a trip for me to turn on TCM and know exactly the subject of this film. Believe me, the prison conditions were WAY worse. Think March of Bataan. To think this film was made while the crews were still in various parts of China. Read this book, and also see, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" (1944). Perhaps you could include the book in a 'SEE ALSO:' section. ok, best to y' all 2602:304:CDAF:A3D0:C8FE:1236:315D:F24E (talk) 03:58, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Just so happens... 

message: There is no historical evidence of any Japanese general shooting himself inside a courtroom during a trial.  That scene now appears ridiculous.
That the portrayed Jewish officer Greenbaum jumps up and scolds a Japanese official in court, with a long monologue about international law, is preposterous and ridiculous.  There is no evidence of any POW of the Japanese ever doing that during WWII and still being alive the next day.
The film completely leaves out bowing by the POWs.  All war-time Japanese guards of POWs demanded bowing and immediately beat the POWs if they failed to bow and I have never found evidence of any exception to this until after the Japanese surrender.  This practice was already known at the time of the filming, due to some American POW escapees, such as from the Philippines and China.  It might be concluded that the filmmakers left this known fact out deliberately, to cater to the expected sensibilities of an American audience.

Talk:Substitute teacher

message: As this short article now has four references, I have removed the unreferenced tag. 172.163.253.33 03:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I made a couple minor changes to the "Pay" section.
First off, I removed the statement that districts will swap out substitutes to avoid paying the extra rate for long term. Districts recognize the importance of stability and will retain a single substitute if they can. Sometimes substitutes are swapped out because the substitute credential only allows a set number of days in a given position. But that's a legal reason, not a financial.
Additionally, I changed "30 days" to "a set number of days" for the duration when a long-term pay kicks in. The two local districts here (and I can cite the substitute handbooks if needed) pay the higher rates after 10 days for one and 20 days for another. four tildes  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.6.192 (talk) 22:41, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Hope chest

message: Cedar Chest redirects to Hope Chest? These are different things, why redirect it?
A Cedar Chest is for storing items. It's made out of Red Cedar, which is particularly aromatic, and moths hate it. In short: It keeps the bugs away from your blankets.
A Hope Chest is a chest an unmarried woman would use to store up items for use when she got married. The only thing it has in common with a Cedar Chest is that they are both chests.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.125.56 (talk) 04:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I imagine the reason is The Lane Company patented their "Lane Cedar Chest" which was advertised across the U.S. as a hope chest in the early 1900s, and they are the main material that such hope chests were typically made of. While I don't know how useful the redirect is or general rule of redirects, neither 'pine chest' or 'maple chest' have their own page because they are, as you said, just chests made of a specific material. If any other material had their own page, I don't think it would redirect. 2601:603:5300:87F0:B863:FC5D:37FA:64B5 (talk) 02:50, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
