Yes siree, Bob!***

Yes siree!  This ad would sure have caught my attention in 1937.  I mean, my sweet Bob wanted for murder?!  Shocking.  Would definitely have to see the movie to find out what this is about. 


'Tis a good night for watching TCM ... TWO Bob movies in a row, at decent show times.  The Divorcee (1930) is showing at 7:00 p.m. CST, followed by Night Must Fall (1937) at 8:30 p.m. CST.  And then a third Bob, They Were Expendable (1945), gets another showing at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.  Not bad. 

***Did you know:  During the mid-19th century, "Bob" was used as a euphemism for "God," as in "So help me, Bob!"  I'll pass at making any comparisons between the two.
