Game #122 -- Homage to Mutt and Jeff

[Weyoun]

Stafford Cripps would give us the newspaper guy Scripps.

[silverscreenselect]

Another partial:

Ray ??? + Walter Alston = Ray Walston (Yankees).

[franktangredi]

The toughest Tangredis are the ones that stare you right in the face!

And I am typing this in an office at the alma mater of one Jane Froman, on our short list of most famous graduates! (Played by Susan Hayward in With a Song in my Heart)

One reason I thought this one would be easy is that, once the Tangredi is revealed, the answers would go down like dominos. And it got me involved in some relatively obscure folk because there's not a lot of flexibility.

I went crazy trying to find a famous person who would form K. LEE, to match with a PAUL, and I could not find one.

[Weyoun]

The trombone concerto is by ROUSE. I say this because C-Rouse gives us Crouse, and Lindsay and Crouse is an old Broadway writing duo (adapted Day's Life with Father I know). But I don't know Crouse's first name.

[Weyoun]

Oh my. Willie Aames just made a Tangredi game. Boxcar Willie plus Aldrich Ames gives us Willie Aames, who was in EIGHT is Enough. I'm somehow deflated that it wasn't Charles in Charge.

[Weyoun]

Sean Avery works because Savery was a guy who invented the steam engine before the Newcomen one they tell you about in school. Don't know his first name.

Suzi Lori Parks (still surprised Hansberry did not win) gives us Sparks. Nicholas Biddle and Sparks is Nicholas Sparks, the Notebook guy.

[Weyoun]

I am liking Charles Demuth more and more, because Charles plus Charles Olson gives us Charles Colson, Watergate guy now famous for his PRISON ministry.

[Weyoun]

Judith Jamison plus Richard Egan would give us Judith Regan. She is that publisher who got in trouble over the OJ book, but OJ has been used, and credibly so. So I don't know how she fits in. I don't think it is former Treasury secretary Donald Regan.

[franktangredi]

(still surprised Hansberry did not win)

Lorraine Hansberry should have won. The gave the Pulitzer that year to Archibald MacLeish for J.B. It probably seemed like a nobler, more 'important' play than A Raisin in the Sun (and it remains the only verse drama to win the Pulitzer.) But time has sure shown which play was a more lasting contribution to the American theatre.

Of course, it wasn't nearly as bad as the year when they gave it to The Old Maid over The Children's Hour or Awake and Sing. (Neither Hellman nor Odets ever won a Pulitzer.) Or the year they decided to give NO AWARD instead of giving it to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

[franktangredi]

Judith Jamison plus Richard Egan would give us Judith Regan. She is that publisher who got in trouble over the OJ book, but OJ has been used, and credibly so. So I don't know how she fits in. I don't think it is former Treasury secretary Donald Regan.

I realized too late that there were two very credible links to OJ. You will have to figure out which one it is by finding the other match.

Looking at the last names and the unmatched words might help.

[ToLiveIsToFly]

I bet we've got a George in here to go with C. Linton for Funk.
Milton Friedman and Boo Radley give us Milton Bradley for Life

[ToLiveIsToFly]

Very good. Two of the definites are wrong. In one case, the correct answer was suggested by someone else. In the other, the person might be rather obscure, so I wouldn't agonize over it just yet.

Most of the ones with question marks are also correct, but I won't give definite numbers there.

LET's COMPILE AGAIN:
Identify the 100 people indicated in the clues below. Form three triples, 45 pairs, and one stand-alone according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Then, match each grouping with one of the Associated Words.

No names will be used twice, but there are two pairs of names which can be used interchangeably.

A quick adjustment to the original instructions:

Identify the 100 people indicated in the clues below. Form three triples, 45 pairs, and one stand-alone according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Then, match each grouping with one of the Associated Words.

No names will be used twice, but there are two pairs of names which can be used interchangeably.

Make that ONE pair of names which can be used interchangeably. I made a last minute substitution and forgot to change the last sentence above.
