Ann Miller (1923-2004) was an American dancer, singer and actress. She was famed for her speed in tap dancing and her style of glamour: massive black bouffant hair, heavy makeup with a splash of crimson lipstick, and fashions that emphasized her lithe figure and long dancer's legs. Miller is best remembered for her work in the classic Hollywood musicals Easter Parade (1948), On the Town (1949) and Kiss Me Kate (1953).
Ann Miller was born Johnnie Lucille Ann Collier in 1923 on her grandparent's ranch in Chireno, Texas. Her father wanted a boy, so Ann was named Johnnie, and she later went by Lucille. Her father was a well-known criminal lawyer who had defended famous gangsters Bonnie and Clyde and Baby Face Nelson. Mrs. Collier enrolled her three-year-old little girl in dancing lessons to help strengthen her legs, which had become weakened from a case of rickets. When Miller was ten she met Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson at a local theatre and he gave her a quick tap-dancing lesson. She liked that style of dance very much and decided to concentrate on it with further lessons. After her parents divorced, she went with her mother to Hollywood, determined to get into show business. The eleven-year-old brunette, pretending to be of legal age, was soon hired to dance for $25 a week at the Sunset Club, a small lounge where gambling went on upstairs. Using the stage name of Ann Miller, she practiced her machine-gun tapping for the thrilled patrons. She also danced at the seedy Black Cat Club, where she scooped up the coins customers threw into her skirt to help pay the bills. Before long, Ann was netting unbilled extra roles in the films Anne of Green Gables (1934) and The Good Fairy (1935), and she got to dance in Devil On Horseback (1936). The next year the thirteen-year-old was dancing for a four-month run in a show at the popular Bal Tabarin nightclub in San Francisco. There, she was discovered by comedian Benny Rubin and future comedian, actress Lucille Ball. Ball introduced Miller to executives at RKO Studios. Pretending she was eighteen with the help of a fake birth certificate supplied by her father, Ann landed a seven-year contract and a role in the film New Faces of 1937 (1937).
Ann Miller's first great part was in Stage Door (1937), in which she danced with Ginger Rogers and acted with Lucille Ball, Katharine Hepburn, and Eve Arden. Other films in which Ann appeared include Radio City Revels (1937), the Oscar winner You Can't Take It With You (1938) with Jean Arthur and James Stewart, and Room Service (1938) with the Marx Brothers. Miller introduced Lucille Ball to Desi Arnaz, and, some years later, the famous couple bought RKO and re-named it DesiLu. Ann's last film at the studio was Too Many Girls (1940), in which she co-starred with friends Lucy and Desi. She then appeared on Broadway in George White's Scandals in 1939 and 1940, for which she won rave reviews. In 1940 Miller moved to Republic Pictures, where she enlivened Melody Ranch (1940) with Gene Autrey in his first musical film, and Hit Parade of 1941 (1941). Other films followed, many aimed at promoting the war effort, which includes True To The Army (1942), Priorities On Parade (1942), Reveille With Beverly (1943), What's Buzzin' Cousin? (1943), Hey Rookie (1944), and Jam Session (1944). In 1945, Ann briefly dated powerful MGM boss Louis B. Mayer. When the much older mogul asked Ann to marry him, she turned him down. Moaning and groaning to her on the phone, the dramatic Mayer swallowed sleeping pills and immediately sent his chauffeur to summon Ann to his death bed. An ambulance arrived first and he recovered. Later, Ann married Reese Milner, a rich steel heir, and they lived on the biggest ranch in California where they raised prized Hereford cattle. The marriage ended quickly after Reese threw Ann down the stairs of their home. Pregnant Miller filed for divorce from her hospital bed, with her broken back in a steel harness. Her baby, Mary, died a few hours after birth. Later, painfully returning to Mayer for a job, he told her, "If you'd married me, none of this would have happened."
Ann Miller was still in a back brace when she danced to Shakin' The Blues Away in Easter Parade (1948), co-starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland. She received fantastic reviews, and MGM gave Ann a seven-year contract. Ann then proceeded to make her most spectacular Technicolor musicals including On The Town (1949), Small Town Girl (1952), Kiss Me Kate (1953) which was extravagantly filmed in 3-D, and Hit The Deck (1955). Her last musical was a remake of the 1939 film The Women, named The Opposite Sex (1956). The glamorous, outgoing, and articulate Ann was also hired as MGM's Good Will Ambassador. She travelled the world in gorgeous designer ensembles while representing her studio with personal appearances and speaking engagements. When she flew to Morocco in July of 1957 to appear with Bob Hope on the Timex TV Hour, she entertained five thousand troops in 120-degree weather as she sang 'Too Darn Hot', and soon set a record for the world's fastest tap-dancing at 500 taps a minute. In 1958, Miller married her second millionaire, Texas oilman Bill Moss who, she quipped, "...looked exactly like my first husband. Three months later, he broke my arm." A third marriage to another oilman, Arthur Cameron, was annulled within a year, though they remained friends. From 1966-1970, Ann became a hit on Broadway in 'Mame'. In 1970 she turned to television and starred in a commercial for Heinz's Great American Soups, in which Miller tap-danced on an eight-foot can of soup surrounded by dozens of high-kicking chorus girls, 20-foot fountains, and a 24- piece orchestra. Then, tapping her way back into her kitchen, her husband cried, "Why must you make such a big production out of everything?" The song she sang was written by humorist Stan Freberg and choreographed by Danny Daniels. In 1972, in St. Louis, on the opening night of the musical show 'Anything Goes', Ann was knocked in the head by the steel beam of a fire curtain. Although as a consequence she was unable to walk for two years and suffered permanant vertigo, her life actually had been saved by her well-known, stiff, enormous, lacquered black wig. In 1979, she made a comeback and a fortune in 'Sugar Babies' with former teenage Hollywood acting schoolmate Mickey Rooney. The popular show ran for two years on Broadway and seven more years on the road. In 1998 she appeared in a successful revival of Stephen Sondheim's 'Follies' at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey. In 1972, Miller published her autobiography, 'Miller's High Life', and more memoirs in 1981 with 'Tops In Taps'. Her last screen appearance was playing Coco in director David Lynch's critically acclaimed Mulholland Drive (2001). Ann Miller died of lung cancer in Los Angeles, California in 2004. She was buried next to her miscarried daughter, which reads "Beloved Baby Daughter Mary Milner November 12, 1946". The Smithsonian Institution displays her favourite pair of tap shoes, which she playfully nicknamed "Moe and Joe".

From The Horsham Times 9th July 1940:
"When Horsham was first blest with the opening of the railway some 60 years ago, a firm which saw possibilities of playing some part in the development of Horsham and district was Messrs Broadbent Bros. & Co., Ballarat, general carriers and produce merchants. Up until 1925 this firm successfully carried on its business and helped in many ways the progress of the town. From 1900 to 1925, Mr R. F. Newton was instrumental in moulding the interest of the old firm, and when, at the latter date, the principals decided to quit the field of business, Mr. Newton seized the opportunity of launching out, and with that purpose in mind took into partnership his son (Mr. R. C. Newton) and Mr. G. L. B. Miller. Thus on February 1st 1925, the firm of Newton & Miller was brought into being, and up to the present time has endeavored to play its part in the natural progress of the town of Horsham and surrounding district. Even in the short 15 years of its existence, the firm has encountered many changes of business. In addition to their grain buying activities, the firm has a large business in super phosphates and jute goods. In the various departments comprising the firm's business, the aim has been service to gain goodwill, for without it little can be accomplished. Associated with the partners are a band of loyal workers who have been with the firm since its inception and many years before that date, when they and their present employers were all fellow workers with the old firm of Broadbent Bros. Such is the history of Newton & Miller, a link in the chain of enterprise in a rural district in which they hold it a privilege to dwell."
Cleaning up some files and found this - forgot I had it. It was actually taken in autumn, but it feels like March to me - everything is still so brown, even though the sun shines more often and brighter.
The Arthur Miller Theater on the University of Michigan's North Campus. Larry and I saw a performance of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" here recently.

The theatre was designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg (KPMB) Architects, a Canadian firm with a specialty in performing arts venues, including the Goodman Theatre in Chicago and renovation of Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto.
Arthur Miller was a graduate of the University of Michigan. Can anyone remember what else he was famous for -besides writing plays, I mean?

CSS #2006 slows to a stop at the west end of Wilson double track just east of Miller. A broken rail at Lake Street was the cause of the holdup, and dispatch talked them through half an hour later. Otherwise, that was the end of my brief chase of the South Shore.

This foot and cycle bridge in Exeter suffered delays as design problems during its building in 2002, attracted criticism from local councillors. Costing £700,000, it was designed to link Bonhay Road by the Mill on the Exe with Exwick Playing Fields, close to Flowerpot, and a few yards above Blackaller Weir. The two central sections were lifted into place using a 200-ton crane. The Bank Holiday weekend was chosen to reduce congestion. Bonhay Road was closed from 7pm on the 23 August, and reopened at 7am on the 27 August. It was formerly opened in November and now forms an important link across the river. Measuring 54 meters long, the bridge has two large 6 metre 'mill' stones to anchor the cabling supporting the structure. There is a second bridge over the flood channel to Flowerpot Fields.
It is an attractive design that technically is a cable stayed bridge - the design of the concrete mill stones echo the many corn mills that lined the leats of Exeter in former times. The closest corn mill in former times to the bridge was the old Bonhay or Powhays Mill.
The structure was designed by Don Sharland and Clive Ryall, bridge engineers of Devon County Council. Land and Marine Structures Ltd were the main contractor to build the bridge, for South West Highways. It was named after a public competition run by the Express and Echo, and opened by David Jameson MP, Secretary of State for Transport on 21 November 2002.
The River Exe in England rises at Exe Head, near the village of Simonsbath, on Exmoor in Somerset, 8.4 kilometres (5 mi) from the Bristol Channel coast, but flows more or less directly due south, so that most of its length lies in Devon. It flows for 60 miles (96 km) and reaches the sea at a substantial ria, the Exe Estuary, on the south (English Channel) coast of Devon. Historically, its lowest bridging point was at Exeter, which is the largest settlement on the river, but there is now a viaduct for the M5 motorway about 3 kilometres (2 mi) south of the city centre.
The river fuelled Exeter's growth and relative importance in medieval times. The city's first industrial area was developed at Exe Island, which was created in the 10th century by digging a series of leats into the sandy and marshy land bordering the river. The island became home to numerous watermills producing paper and textiles.

Millers Millhouse
Near Danridge
Jefferson County, TN
This mill was established in 1843 and was a part of a parcel of a 200 acres that Thomas Fain deeded to his daughter, Sarah and her husband, Nathan Franklin. Nathan operated the mill and along with his brothers, operated a creamery, a blacksmith shop, tannery, sawmill and general store.
The mill looks to have been restored in recent years along with several stores and building close by. It looks like a restored ghost town because it looks to have never been reopened. Everything seems to be well maintained.
