The Philadelphia Story (in my dollhouse!)

One of my favorite movies is The Philadelphia Story, from 1940, with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Ruth Hussey. It's a wonderful movie - very well acted, good plot, etc. Also - the house in the movie is fabulous! I drew some inspiration from it - the grand rooms, for instance! I highly recommend that you watch it - you'll love it! Now, about the dollhouse: If, let's say, you were only two or three inches high and could fit inside my dollhouse, you'd walk through the nonexistent-front door, and enter the hallway. It's enourmous - and unfinished. But let's imagine. The walls are strung with paintings, a rich red wallpaper, and an enourmous archway at the end of the room, leading into another beautiful room behind. On one side of the hallway is a door in the middle of two enourmous green and black marble columns - very grand. Opening that door would lead to the enourmous ballroom, with the intricate parquet adorning the floor. Oh, how I wish! But it might take a few more years to get to that point :-) So far none of the grand rooms are completed (or even started - except for the Music Room), as I'm summoning the courage to do it. Please come, courage! Back to The Philadelphia Story. In my dollhouse, I have a miniature poster of it, in Anthea's Room.

I wish I had an original in my house, too. . . As Robert Young used to say on Good News of 1939,

"Go to the movies, and take the family with you!"

Goodbye for now!
