G. D. Sweet Famous Players
- ... that the G. D. Sweet Famous Players was an Iowa theatre company that held performances named "Sunday school" shows due to them being family friendly? The performances were called "Sunday school" shows because they were so clean — no "hells" or "damns" allowed. - The Opera Houses of Iowa page 66
- ALT1: ... that not so much as a "hell" or "damn" was permitted at G. D. Sweet Famous Players' "Sunday school" productions?
- Reviewed: Celestial Navigation (The West Wing)
- Comment: I have been unable to find any updates since their 1951 advertisement.

- Posting this just in case - If anyone has a way to get the information about the company from this book coverage, that would be very helpful. SL93 (talk) 21:29, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
- @SL93: [1] has some of it. I think all the pieces anthologized in that Gbook—Love and Laughter, Lord, Let Me Love, and To Help You Through the Hurting—are on the Internet Archive. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 03:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- @AleatoryPonderings: Awesome. Thank you. SL93 (talk) 16:24, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I've suggested an ALT hook, I thought it'd be a pretty interesting hook as well, if SL93 is okay with it. feel free to make modifications to it, as well. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron I'm fine with it. SL93 (talk) 06:31, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- New when nominated, no copyvio issues, short at 2,803 bytes of readable prose but that's over the minimum. It looks like this search might provide some additional sourcing (although it also picks up some results for Famous Players-Lasky). I've dropped a few {{cn}} tags for quotations that should be cited; I don't have access to Opera Houses of Iowa but I assume that's where the info came from. Both versions of the hook are sourced to Opera Houses of Iowa so I will AGF on that. Once the cn tags are addressed I can pass this. I prefer alt1. AleatoryPonderings (???)

- AleatoryPonderings I took care of those, although the quote was sourced to the very next reference. As for the second citation needed tag, it was referenced until Theleekycauldron added new information to the article. SL93 (talk) 22:41, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
. Tags addressed, ready to go. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 23:07, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging Cwmhiraeth to see if they can move this to a prep when possible since Theleekycauldron cannot. SL93 (talk) 23:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
