3 thoughts on “Busy in Conference (E67) [Booklet – not found]”
Welcome back!
I vaguely remember that “conference” essay from one of the early book collections. Maybe I’ve got it confused with a different essay. When I first saw the Rea Irvin illustration in the link you provided, I though it was Gluyas Williams.
Here are two Benchley-related things I’m currently curious about:
1) “Your Technocracy And Mine” – I thought this film was lost forever, but I recently learned it was found and screened at some revival houses. I wonder if it’ll ever show up online. I’d love to see it, but I’ve moved too far away from NYC.
2) “Boogie Woogie” – Another film I thought was lost. I can’t find much information on it. Full color, not a short, script by Benchley… why hasn’t it been included in any DVD collections?
Ah thank you! I’m now curious about them, too! Neither has crossed my path, as of yet, but if I ever gain access to them, I’ll be sure to let you know!
I am selling my ultra-rare copy of BUSY IN CONFERENCE. It’s the same copy Michael Maslin wrote about in his Ink Spill blog a couple of years ago. Feel free to share the link with any Benchley collectors you think might want to go after it. Thanks! https://www.ebay.com/itm/205621478593
