  On the Stage—and Off: The Brief Career of a Would-Be Actor is Jerome K. Jerome’s wry, self-aware account of youthful ambition colliding with reality. Written with the gentle irony and observational humor that would later make him famous, this autobiographical sketch follows a young Jerome as he becomes convinced—briefly but earnestly—that the theater is his true calling. 
  Inspired by the glow of the stage and the poetry of Shakespeare, he throws himself into study, preparation, and theatrical dreaming, only to encounter skeptical friends, practical obstacles, and the quietly comic truths of the profession. What unfolds is not a tale of triumph or tragedy, but of aspiration, illusion, and the peculiar education that comes from trying. 
  Warm, reflective, and lightly self-mocking, On the Stage—and Off offers a charming glimpse into the late-19th-century theatrical world and the inner life of a man learning—gracefully—that wanting something is not the same as belonging to it. Narrated with clarity and restraint by Tony J. Martin, this memoir remains a timeless portrait of ambition, humility, and the comedy of honest effort.

  Though Nevermind was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, In Utero has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.

  The following is the audio track for Don't Be a Sucker, a 1943 anti-fascism propaganda film financed and produced by the United States Army Signal Corps, and shot at the Warners studio. The film stars Paul Lukas, Felix Bressart, Bob Bailey, Kurt Kreuger, and narrated by Lloyd Nolan. It follows a young American Freemason taken in by the message of a soap-box orator who asserts that all good jobs in the country are being taken by minorities, domestic and foreign. He then falls into a conversation with a refugee professor who tells him of the pattern of events that brought Hitler to power in Germany and how Germany's anti-democratic groups split the country into helpless minorities, each hating the other. The professor concludes by pointing out that America is composed of many minorities, but all are united as Americans. The film was re-issued in 1946 following the end of World War II.
