Some more pics of this Sunday's songbirds and shows:
Above, Ethel Merman ready to
Take A Chance back in 1932,
tho it was originally dubbed "Humpty Dumpty"!
The Ethel decided to do Something For The Boys,
a Cole Porter show from 1943,
with partner in crime, Betty Garrett (below).
We'll hear Betty, along with Paula Laurence, sing
"By The Mississinewah".
Me & Juliet was one of Rodgers and Hammerstein's few flops.
A backstage "show within a show" premise
that Oscar never wanted to do.
They did it anyway.
It starred Isabel Bigley and Joan McCracken,
who we'll hear duet in "It's Me".
Irving Berlin's Miss Liberty was a "sharp disappointment"
according to the NY Sun
(well, where's the SUN today?).
It starred Eddie Albert (below)
and Allyn McLerie, (with Eddie below THAT).
"Let's Take An Old Fashioned Walk"
