Silas Frank Seadler was the head of advertising for Metro-Goldwin-Mayer for fifty years. He was endlessly cheerful and had a great sense of humor. Si was well known for being a fabulous dancer and movie stars loved to dance with him. At Judy Garland's party at El Morocco after her opening at the Palace on Broadway, she danced with Si Seadler.
