You always manage to get the right result. You must have an incredible knack for knowing what direction the questions are going, or something -- your secret super-power?

If I were a play I'd probably be The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia, or something equally self-consciously American... maybe Guys and Dolls. Yeah, that's be close too.

I must ask: who is in the photo at the heading of your LJ...? An early female aviator, in a delightful b&w photo, but I can't figure out who she is, precisely.

I like the idea it's a secret super-power. Keep in mind that I don't post the quizzes with the results I don't like.

What is The Lat Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia?

It's a photo of Amelia Earhart.

What is The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia?

It is the third of a trio of plays written about the same day, somewhere in the American South in recent times, the second of which -- The Oldest Living Graduate -- was done onstage with Henry Fonda, Ken Berry, and Cloris Leachman, once upon a time, and telecast live, a magnificent performance. Henry Fonda played the oldest living graduate of some anonymous little military school in the local vicinity, and there was going to be a big deal made of his being the last of his group to be alive, something concocted by someone just to get publicity for some other reason... and Henry Fonda played the entire performance in a wheelchair, which probably allowed him to get through the show, as he was near the end of his life and very frail, right then.

The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia was about a secret society of Southern stalwarts who still felt annoyed about the way The War Between the States had turned out. The few remaining members were trying desperately to recruit new members, so that their group did not dissolve and vanish; things do not turn out well for them, by the end of the show.

I confess I do not know the name of the third of these three plays.

It's a photo of Amelia Earhart.

Oh, my! I should have known that. Wait... hm, it looks little like her. Are you sure it isn't Beryl Markham? Amelia Earhart at a very young age, I'd guess. Before she acquired that lovely and distinguished chiseled jaw and well-defined cheekbones.

If I find out what age Amelia is in this photo, I'll let you know. It's on the cover of the biography I'm reading, so it must be her! Not that I ever doubted it. It's by [livejournal.com profile] runpunkrun who made a beautiful set of them, being an Amelia Earhart fan as well.
