this black cloaked lady was a famous actress...her name??? Pig tailed girl hadn't a moment to lose she'd put out a fire on the loose wicked witch thought straw would burn did she know death marked her turn? "I'm melting", cloaked lady cried the bucket water thrown hadn't dried with a hiss black-coned form receeded a little spray was all that was needed. Young Kansas lady dowsed the flame strawman friend would remember her name she knew her galant act was to tame... order in the wicked kingdom was n'er the same.

Martin, do you want the stage name, or the actress's real name? I've got both ![]() |

Martin, I can't think anyone, no matter how young they are, don't know this one. I remember the movie used to come on every Christmas season, and it was one of the things I looked forward to. Nan |
