...game, with the diamond ring scoring $770,000 from an anonymous buyer. Among the less eternal items, which nevertheless sold big during the auction of Monroe memorabilia, were a makeup case (with used cosmetics), which sold for $266,000, and six pictures of her dog that fetched $222,500.

So the rest of the time is filler--often thuddingly, anachronistic, cliched, diluted filler. At one point, a blues singer launches into almost a mini-opera about liberation from bondage (I confused it for a Civil War hymn at first)--it entirely changes the show's tone. Seconds later, of course, the bouncing Irish return to claim their stage. But the most egregious offense comes a few acts later. A group...
