In response to Sue Severtson's request concerning scholarly databases:
The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University has made acces
sible through the Internet (GOPHER) the registers of its archival collections
in American literature, Modern European literature, Pre-1600 manuscripts,
and Western Americana. Included are information about authors, descriptions of
the papers, and folder-level listings of the holdings. The registers are
accessed through "Libraries on the Internet," by continent, state, university.

Some time ago, there was an inquiry about an electronic version of
Dracula in WordCruncher compatible format. I can arrange to provide that
text. Please contact me directly.

Subject: Chu Chin Chow Identified

My wife, a music librarian, solved my problem with identifying Chu
Chin Chow. It was a lavish musical production of the story of "Ali
Baba and the Forty Thieves," staged in London in 1916, and made into
films twice:in 1923 and 1924 and published by Samuel French. None
of the characters seems to be named Chu Chin Chow, and the setting
is the Middle East, so the meaning of the name is still somewhat unclear.
