It's a fun movie, and Grant Mitchell and Glenda Farrell do a great job, in some ways more interesting than the stars.Jacqueline T.

The balls were used in voting for club applicants or to eject club members. According to my dictionary the verb blackball originated in 1770.panavia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/12022750065016664499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-83421396125756198912009-05-14T10:17:00.000-04:002009-05-14T10:17:00.000-04:00Thanks, Maiden.
