Fredric March and March Syncs

"A salesman with a sudden passion for reform has an idea to sell to his barfly buddies: throw away your pipe dreams. 

The drunkards, living in a flophouse above a saloon, resent the idea."
The Iceman Cometh (1973)
 I was looking up the movies of Fredric March after watching him in 
Death Takes a Holiday where he plays Death/Prince Sirki  
(Sir Key?).

Sir Key?

 His last film was The Iceman Cometh, where he was Harry Hope.

"Death decides to take a holiday from his usual business to see what it is like to be a mortal. Posing as Prince Sirki, he spends 3 days with Duke Lambert and his guests at his dukal estate...."
Death Takes a Holiday was released on March 30th in the USA
Which just happens to be Easter Saturday this year. 

Someone else took a permanent
holiday as of March, too;-)

"Dr. Jekyll faces horrible consequences when he lets his dark side run wild with a potion that changes him into the animalistic Mr. Hyde."
Yes, March sure did make some ... I guess you could say synchromystic movies, in a way.

 "Newly elected Pope Francis has met his predecessor for lunch, the first time such a meeting has been possible for more than 600 years.

Pope Francis was flown by helicopter to Castel Gandolfo for the private lunch with Pope Emeritus Benedict.
Benedict has lived at the lakeside castle south of Rome since last month, when he became the first pope in six centuries to resign, citing ill health."

Also uncovered this March was this mass grave in London -

" Archaeologists hope to shed light on the DNA signature of the Black Death plague after finding what they believe to be a mass grave under central London.

Archaeologists said on Friday they had found a graveyard during excavations for a rail project in London which might hold the remains of some 50,000 people killed by the bubonic plague more than 650 years ago.
Thirteen skeletons laid out in two neat rows were discovered 2.5 metres below the road in the Farringdon area of central London by researchers working on the 16 billion pound ($23 billion) Crossrail project.
Historical records indicated the area, described as a "no man's land", had once housed a hastily established cemetery for victims of the bubonic plague which killed about the third of England's population following its outbreak in 1348. "
