PeggyA. How wonderful! Do you have any biographical information about her? We'd love to add it to the catalogue record.

A pretty and promising Australian-born actress in Hollywood films from the early 1930s, pinch-cheeked Mary Maguire was born Helene Teresa ("Peggy") Maguire in Melbourne, one of five children born to footfall player and boxer turned hotelier Michael "Mick" Maguire. One of her sisters became actress Joan Shannon. A student at the Academy of Mary Immaculate in Fitzroy, the fresh-faced actress made her film bow unbilled in the film Diggers in Blighty (1933). Billed as "Peggy Maguire" in her second film Heritage (1935) directed by Charles Chauvel, who discovered her, she received good reviews for this and earned another fine role opposite Charles Farrell in The Flying Doctor (1936) in which she changed her stage moniker to "Mary Maguire". In the United States from August of 1936, Warner Bros. signed her to a seven-year contract and cast her in That Man's Here Again (1937) co-starring Tom Brown. Other roles came her way with Confession (1937) and Alcatraz Island (1937) and Sergeant Murphy (1938). Warner Bros. released her from her contract when she refused a role in Mystery House (1938). Fox signed her up briefly in 1938 and cast her as the lead in Mysterious Mr. Moto (1938), the Gracie Fields musical Keep Smiling (1938), and The Outsider (1939). From there she signed up with British Picture Corp. and starred in Black Eyes (1939) with Otto Kruger and An Englishman's Home (1940) with Edmund Gwenn. Marriage and the birth of a child joyously interrupted her career, but when the child died suddenly in infancy, the devastated Mary returned to work and was cast in the British film This Was Paris (1942) starring Ann Dvorak and Ben Lyon, but no other future films came her way. A second marriage to Philip Henry Legarra in 1945 prompted a sudden move back to the States where he worked as an engineer. An attempt to resurrect her film career failed. The marriage lasted until his death in 1971 and Mary passed away three years later, interred alongside her husband at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Gary Brumburgh / gr-home@pacbell.net Source: www.imdb.com/name/nm0536604/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

Once you’ve got the legal all clear, spend some time considering the realities of chicken keeping – both pro and con! PROS: * The eggs are supremely good * Chickens are wonderfully entertaining .. Chickens are full of personality and are often very funny. They push each other around, fly up and down, scratch and peck, roll in the dirt, etc. And the clucking! They have a wide range of vocalizations and listening to them “talk” to each other is endlessly interesting. Something about watching chickens makes people happy. It’s relaxing, it’s fun, and it reminds people of simpler times. A flock of chickens makes a yard a home. CONS: * Chickens are cute, fun, and full of personality. Chickens also poop everywhere, and they poop A LOT. And the poop accumulates and smells. You can put down straw, or diatomaceous earth, but these are bandaids. Prepare to do a lot of particularly gross cleaning to keep the coop and yard in an acceptable state. * A raccoon, an owl, the neighbor’s dog, an unexpected illness – eventually, something bad is almost sure to happen to at least one of your chickens. For all the fun times and idyllic evenings spent watching your chickens at play, there will be sad, difficult and potentially ugly moments as well. * Chicken sexing is quite reliable, but nothing is 100%. You may think you’ve bought all hens, but the day may come when you realize that “Penelope” has started to try out a little beginner crow. Roosters are beautiful, noisy, often aggressive, and probably illegal in your municipality. There are the neighbors to consider. You will need an emergency plan in the event that one of your hens is actually a rooster. * A continuous supply of fresh eggs requires a continuous supply of hens of laying age. There is likely a legal limit to the number of hens you can own at one time, so non-laying hens will be taking up the “spots” you could otherwise fill with new young egg producers. Keeping chickens in the city may be tough at times, but there are many rewards that go along with it! Take some time to consider all the implications of beginning your own backyard chicken adventure – and maybe you’ll come to the conclusion that it’s time to dive in!
