Mae West: Friday the 13th
Joe Franklin has always enjoyed MAE WEST. During 1951 — 1999, when he was the host of 
television's first talk show "Joe Franklin's Memory Lane," the king of nostalgia invited Mae West to be featured six times on his popular program broadcast from New York City on WABC-TV and on WOR-TV.
• • In 2005, Joe Franklin enjoyed seeing scenes from Courting Mae West — — and this week he had a chance to get acquainted with the current cast when he popped in on a dress rehearsal in Times Square on Friday the 13th [13 June 2008].
• • Here's Joe Franklin posing with Mae West, Texas Guinan, and the gang.
• • An expert on vaudeville and a member of a prestigious sheet music society, Joe Franklin is no stranger to the lawless decade — — the Prohibition Era — — when Courting Mae West takes place.
• • According to Joe Franklin, what he enjoys about this serious-minded comedy is the sense that what happens in Act I and Act II is spontaneous and yet inevitable. And he enjoys the characters: the ambitious women and the complex, lovable scoundrels around them.
• • Joe Franklin also admires the work of director Louis Lopardi, who chose the play Courting Mae West for its sensual appeal that comes from the quickening warmth of real life events dramatized with stirring artistic form.
• • On Friday the 13th, scenes from this play were filmed for European television.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
