"Character is the fingerprint of your soul" - Frank Sonnenberg.Please join Nancy Zachary in the Scott Room to discuss The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki. "In her latest historical novel, Pataki (The Queen's Fortune) takes on the juicy persona of socialite, businesswoman, and philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather Post. The daughter of self-made entrepreneur C.W. Post, Marjorie inherited his cereal empire and all the responsibilities that went with it. She used her enormous wealth for many worthy causes such as soup kitchens and hospitals as she expanded the reach of the Post brand over the course of the 20th century. Marjorie regularly crossed paths with heads of state and important figures of history, all while living an extravagant lifestyle filled with jewels, priceless art, and mansions. The one thing she couldn't seem to buy, however, was lasting love. That didn't stop her from trying (she was married four times). With so much ground to cover, Pataki skims through Post's long and busy life, touching briefly on key moments; her use of the first person makes this historical novel read more like an autobiography. VERDICT Fans of memoirs and novels about the Gilded Age should enjoy this well-researched book  and its fascinating subject" - Library Journal.

Join Marcus Renna in the Scott Room for a screening and discussion of the 1956 comedy The Lieutenant Wore Skirts. Directed by Frank Tashlin, written by Tashlin and Albert Beich, and starring Tom Ewell, Sheree North, and Rita Moreno, The Lieutenant Wore Skirts tells the screwball story of a man whose marriage begins to fail when his wife enlists in the military.Greg Whitcomb (Ewell) is a TV writer after an honorable discharge for distinguished military service, and he has settled comfortably into his civilian life with his wife Katy (North). When Greg receives a letter calling him back to active service, Katy - herself a former air force officer during World War II - decides to re-enlist so they can stay together. Trouble for Greg arises when he fails a physical exam due to a bad knee and Katy is shipped to a military base in Hawaii without him. Tormented by the thought of Katy being lonely and surrounded by handsome young servicemen, Greg flies out to join her. He ends up spending most of his free time with the other officer's wives, which their husbands decidedly do not appreciate. Greg tries to sabotage Katy's military career so she'll be discharged and they can go home, only his stunt backfires when he demonstrates his healed knee and his recalled to duty. Now it is Katy, discovering that she's pregnant, who needs to go home.
