Play it again, Butch, Cricket, Chick, Smoke, Happy... the performances of Hoagy Carmichael as a Hollywood bar-room pianist

This article discusses the performances of Hoagy Carmichael as a bar-room pianist figure in a number of 40s and 50s Hollywood films. Supporting musical characters in film often fulfil the role of the 'knowing servant', a character type that exists in many shapes, in cinema and other art forms. The close analysis of Carmichael's characters focuses attention on precisely how this broad type has been represented cinematically in a recurrent guise. It also attests to Carmichael's special status as an actor of this kind of role. His musical persona meant he was particularly suited to being cast in these types of parts. Furthermore, his characters exhibit signs of privilege within their supporting positions when compared to similar figures played by other performers

Cold atomic hydrogen in the inner galaxy

The VLA is used to measure 21 cm absorption in directions with the absolute value of b less than 1 deg., the absolute value of 1 less than 25 deg. to probe the cool atomic gas in the inner galaxy. Abundant H I absorption is detected; typical lines are deep and narrow, sometimes blending in velocity with adjacent features. Unlike 21 cm emission not all allowed velocities are covered: large portions of the l-v diagram are optically thin. Although not similar to H I emission, the absorption shows a striking correspondence with CO emission in the inner galaxy: essentially every strong feature detected in one survey is seen in the other. The provisional conclusion is that in the inner galaxy most cool atomic gas is associated with molecular cloud complexes. There are few or no cold atomic clouds devoid of molecules in the inner galaxy, although these are common in the outer galaxy
