Doghouse6 I saw Calling Dr. Death around the time of the Birthday , It was on Svengoolie again recently but that Chaney voice over whispered narration was just too much and I didn't hang around for the end this time, Patricia Morison or NO Patricia Morison. I'll stop short of being dragged off as Morison was at the end of Calling Dr. Death screaming, "You have no proof, you have no PROOF!" You do know that saying things like that is just askin' for a Nalkarj novella ! "Tune in tomorrow, same time, same station for the continuing saga of (fill in great title here) " Canardly wait ! I think most, perhaps all, of those Inner Santum mysteries featured those interior monologues; maybe they were a trademark of the radio show. A "canardly wait?" Ah yes: that's what happens to the poor guy who believes it when told, "The check's in the mail."

Doghouse6The Inner Sanctum inner dialogue thingy would not have been so annoying BUT he whispered to himself. I kept wanting to tell him to speak up since he would not be disturbing anyone and he was not in a library in any case. Matter of fact, I no doubt DID tell him that ! ![](https://s26.postimg.org/6m0mtnt09/angel.gif)
Last mystery chapter I was the one in the hot seat... wonder what today's episode will bring ! ![](https://s26.postimg.org/x67gkeemx/popcorn.gif) is ready !

So. now, somehow, ol' ![](https://s26.postimg.org/jdogb0yhl/nicebat.gif) has inadvertently caused a self inflicted throat slitting and a murder by mob. Oops. !

I tend to be a bit of a silly soul... It's the second time in as many days that hubby has called from across the room, "Who's makin' ya laugh?" And the second time the answer has been, "Salzmank." Nevertheless, that news item has me concerned. I can hope only that your next installment finds you as healthily resurrected as this one found me. Still, to be on the safe side, I may very well call my lawyer (and advise Bat to do the same).

Doghouse6Thanks for that! As for the lawyer... Uh, as Bat put it, the death is only temporary... (Next time I'll work on coming up with something elaborately sci-fi-connected to support that claim...)

Doghouse6What with YOUR (temporary) demise and now THIS, my lawyer is now on speed-dial. BUT I did replace the one that Nalkarj 's uncle recommended. He's a snappy dresser and he did win the case. Sir Wilfred, it seems, has moved permanently to Bermuda (shorts and all !) so he is out of the picture. Tho' when I called this is what I heard when he was asked about taking me on as a client !

My goodness, it's amazing how Ms. Morison is mistaken for other actresses! Could that be the reason she never became an A-list star? Patricia Morison was a supremely talented diva on the singing stage. Born on March 19, 1915, in New York City, her father, William Morison, was a playwright and occasional actor who billed himself under the name Norman Rainey. Patricia's mother worked for British Intelligence during WWI. Graduating from Washington Irving High School in New York, Patricia studied at the Art Students League and proceeded to take acting classes at the Neighborhood Playhouse while also studying dance with the renowned Martha Graham. She earned a steady check at the time as a dress shop designer. At age 19 Patricia made her Broadway debut in the short-lived play "Growing Pains" and proceeded to understudy the legendary Helen Hayes in her classic role of "Victoria Regina". She never went on. In 1938, shortly after opening in the musical "The Two Bouquets" opposite musical star Alfred Drake, Paramount talent scouts, looking for exotic, dark-haired glamor types then to rein in their star commodity, Dorothy Lamour, scoped Patricia out and tested her. The blue-eyed beauty who indeed resembled Lamour was signed and made her film debut the following year, showing bright promise in the "B" film Persons in Hiding (1939). Patricia's stock did not improve, however, despite such promise, and she was relegated to such second-string westerns as I'm from Missouri (1939), Rangers of Fortune (1940), Romance of the Rio Grande (1941) and The Roundup (1941). When things didn't improve with such stilted fare as Night in New Orleans (1942), Beyond the Blue Horizon (1942) and Are Husbands Necessary? (1942), she left Paramount. She freelanced in 'other woman' roles which included the Tracy/Hepburn vehicle Without Love (1945) and The Fallen Sparrow (1943), and played Empress Eugenie in The Song of Bernadette (1943), but the focus was seldom on her. Overlooked when cast in top leads at 'poverty row' programmers, her best chance at film stardom came as Victor Mature's despairing wife who takes her own life (which is shown on screen) in Kiss of Death (1947), but her juicy role was excised from the film by producers who felt audiences weren't ready for such shocking displays.
During the war years, Patricia had trained her voice and performed in USO tours. Cole Porter heard her sing in Hollywood one evening and decided she had the right tenacity, feistiness and vocal expertise to play the female lead in his new show. In 1948, over the objections of both the producer and director, stardom was clenched in the form of Porter's classic musical-within-a-musical "Kiss Me Kate." As the sweeping, vixenish Lilli Vanessi, a severe-looking stage diva whose own volatile personality coincided with that of her onstage role (Kate from "The Taming of the Shrew"), Patricia found THE role of her career, giving over 1,000 performances in all. Playing again alongside her former Broadway co-star Alfred Drake, Patricia basked in the multitude of glowing reviews, and such songs as "I Hate Men," "Wonderbar" and "So In Love" rightfully became signature songs. Following this triumph, film work never became a top priority again. Patricia continued on successfully in the London version of "Kate" and went on to conquer other classic leads in the musicals "The King and I," "Kismet," "The Merry Widow," "Song of Norway" and Pal Joey," among others. Her last movie role was a cameo part as writer George Sand in the mildly received biopic Song Without End (1960) starring Dirk Bogarde as composer Franz Liszt. On TV Patricia recreated her Kate role with Mr. Drake and made a few scattered but lively appearances over the years. One of her more recent guest parts was on the now-defunct comedy "Cheers." In later years she devoted herself to painting (an early passion) and enjoyed many showings in the Los Angeles area.
Odd. No mention of Mislabeled Google Images affecting her career one way or another. snsurone

![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/86/38/a7/8638a72dfdd988a19f45815af1e26a1a.jpg) She made it to a cover of a Swedish Movie Fans magazine, sadly I don't now what year it's from. It's from 29 April 1939, so she was 23-24 years old here. Beneath the "Patricia Morison" text, there's a caption in the magazine that says " Dangerous woman in gangster films from Paramount."

The King and I
Think this is from a Tony Award show. I have the record of her "Kiss Me Kate" with Alfred Drake.
