Short, warm, and very much 1968— Lincoln Park Zoo (Part 1) in their own words. See right there, he’s going through a display. Then in the afternoon, instead of like a lot of zoos, don’t give them a lot of fresh vegetable. In fact, this zoo has at least seven World Longevity Record animals.

Short, warm, and very much 1960s— Mal and Jo in Chinatown in Chicago (ends Abruptly–tape broke?) in their own words. Don’t ask me what kind of China because I’ve never been on the mainland and this is one of those areas you can’t reach but we are on the...

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 Mama Lena Restaurant in their own words. The fanfare, now we’ll hear what we’re having for dinner. For dessert, we’re going to have homemade cannoli, which we will make right on the stage and tell you a little bit about the restaurant, what has happened to us, what is hopefully in the future for us. It’s called Mamalinas and it’s at 24 East Chicago Avenue and it seats just 30 people.

They talk it through in their usual breezy way— Gaelic Imports in their own words. We told you about Emmer Morris and his wonderful pasties and all the good food that was kind of on the Gaelic side out in the western part of Chicago. Well, we should sort of edge you over to the bagpipe room and interest you in what they call a practice chanter, which is the instrument that you learn to play bagpipes on. Unlike so many other musical instruments, you can actually learn to play for a small investment of about $12.

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1968 In a pumpkin field at Wauconda Apple Orchard with Chris and Jeff (audio drops briefly in spots) 3 min in their own words. So if you’ve got a city type child as most of us have and you’ve never really planted a cornfield or a pumpkin field maybe one of these Sundays very soon now before Halloween you ought to get out into the country this is one of the places where and if you don’t pick your own apples this is a great project because you come in and you either your baskets or they sell you the baskets and then you take off and they show you where to park and they have the ladders and you go up into the trees and you pull all the apples you want and then you take them home and you feel so rich because all of a sudden you’ve got apples and squash and cider in the freezer and and taffy apples this is a ball it’s a good way to spend a Sunday think about it

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1969 Cabaret in their own words. We did now It’s only got two three weeks left So we saw it the other night went backstage to say hello to Melissa Hart Who’s an old friend from around these parts lots of friends She went to school here was at Northwestern in second city and we enjoyed the show very much I had not read the book or seen the play before, you know, it’s based on I am a camera and has to do with Germany before Hitler took over this also as a period in history that I never really studied very much about did you I was a little boy And I wasn’t aware of the the great pangs and struggled at Germany was going through well I don’t think any of us here were I don’t think it was ours to study It seemed very unimportant and had anybody realized the importance of it Maybe Hitler wouldn’t have taken over and I think that’s the whole picture that cabaret presents and perhaps it has a sort of message for us Sure, but it is that feeling that life was so gay in Berlin Everybody was having so much fun and if the name Hitler or if a swastika armband appeared people almost tried not to notice They just didn’t want to be bothered because life was a cabaret There’s only one moment of violence and yet being just the one small moment it tremendously symbolic the shop of The Jewish gentleman the middle age to elderly Jewish gentlemen There was a brick thrown through a window and I I got the the tremendous Impact of what was to come in a way you’re in a way looking down on all those little people on that little globe and watching them Struggle and you could get the feeling of the terrible things that were to happen in Germany I like the show I don’t think I would recommend it for the entire family because since it does show Like the rise and fall of the Grecian Empire the Roman Empire when the world gets into a stage where Men are slobs women don’t care about themselves and just a complete mess in the country It doesn’t make for the kind of theater that I would want a small child see do we agree? Yes, I agree I think however that it in this particular show It is in its place that the authors were attempting to show us that the German people The society as a whole was sliding downhill some In contrast to the moment of violence at the end of the first act when they sang tomorrow belongs to me You got the great feeling of this pulling together of the young band of Nazis Who? Invited to a party that was not Nazi still all of a sudden this song drew them together and You saw the power of the youth in that country at that time Yeah, I think the most exciting thing of all for Chicagoans is to see Melissa Hart in the show however and everybody got to go See it just for that reason alone because a Sally Hart as we’ve known her and it’s I think is the name She used at second city is just such a delight to watch on stage.

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1969 Gourmet Society in their own words. Joe and I are members of a gourmet society. The name of our society is La Société pour la cuisine international This allows us to eat at all sorts of restaurants, not just French restaurants And I’m going to talk to each member and see what he or she has gotten out of this thing. One thing that I particularly remember is the turbo at the press club That was one of the most outstanding dishes I’ve ever had in my life.

Think street‑level and spontaneous— 1969 Ivanhoe Theatre and The Corn is Green in their own words. And now, Mal and Joe are on the go to the theatre, and to the theatre that is giving me little goosebumps these days, because in my opinion, this is the best theatre in the city of Chicago. And George Keithley, I believe, is one of the finest director producers in not only Chicago, but in this country. We went out to Aaron Davies Welsh Presbyterian Church out on the west side of Chicago.
