You're not old, Margo Channing and BrodieFosse.

You're just lucky bastards...

I agree about the '40's.

A guy I used to know who danced in the original cast of "Best Foot Forward" let me look through his Playbill collection from back then. He was going to give them to me. He was only going to keep the three Gertrude Lawrence shows programs.

He saw everything. Not only the hits, but flops like "Barefoot Boy with Cheek". I was all but drooling over them.

He ended up giving them to the library of his college. I think that I stopped speaking to him not long after that...
