   Hi, Brian Klauss - Alexander Koryagin!   
   I read your message from 19.03.2021 00:30   
      
    AK>> "Beauty and the Beast", a movie name -- why Beauty is   
    AK>> without "the"?   
    BK>   
    BK> Titles of movies, books, music, and art do not require an

    BK>   
    BK> It's similar to music group names, "Guns N' Roses", not "The   
    BK> Guns and Roses", or books, "Patriot Games" instead of "The   
    BK> Patriot Games".   
      
   So it could be simply "Beauty and Beast"?   
      
   Bye, Brian!
