This is possibly my best find which I discovered in a book about PG Wodehouse.

(Right up there with the honeymoon bathing suit solo shot.) I'll never get tired of looking at it.

Oh Mrs V, this is incredible, what a find! I had seen this adorable photo of Dwight before but it was cropped and I had no idea that PG Wodehouse was in the original! My partner is obsessed with PG Wodehouse, he's his hero. It's the first time I have seen him excited about a photo of Dwight. He liked his spats.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

I decided to share the songs Dwight would have sung in "Sitting Pretty". Obviously, none of these songs are sung by Dwight, but it gives you an idea of the songs. Three were already on youtube and I uploaded Mr & Mrs Rorer.

And the "Sitting Pretty" video, don't like the anecdote at the beginning. Personally think it's B.S.

I'm sorry, Mrs. V., I thought I left a comment for these songs and realized I hadn't *slaps head*. Thank you for posting these video. I pictured Dwight singing, just trying to imagine how wonderful he must have sounded

. I also like the caricature of him in the top video, it's so cute!

I forgot to add, I agree about the anecdote being B.S. It was so uncalled for and sounds rather catty, instead of clever. Queenie Smith was the one who mentioned it in a book on Jerome Kern and quite frankly, why did it have to be said at all? Why wasn't it just left as the song was cut? It comes across as childish, trying to have a laugh at Dwight's expense. He doesn't need to be remembered like that where this play is concerned. Obviously Queenie didn't like him very much, for her to have said such a mean thing.

It's ok, MM. In all honesty, I am considering closing this section because not many people seem that interested in it

Infact really have to reconsider much of this board.

Mrs V.: Thanks to those that left goodbye messages and to Endo who kindly offered to help. After the carry on with facebook last year, I became less and less enthusiastic about this board and was frankly hurt by certain behaviours. Life's too short to deal with BS Jun 25, 2013 20:47:08 GMT

Mrs Vindecco: I no longer have energy or enthusiasm to continue, hopefully members can find another way to celebrate Dwight etc. Jun 25, 2013 21:00:26 GMT

limey: Thanks again Mrs V for all your hard work on this forum. I'm so glad I found you guys and to know that Dwight is loved and remembered by so many is awesome! Take care and yes, please keep in touch.
