Mary Martin/Carol Channing Confusion...

I was just finishing up "Just Lucky I Guess" by Carol Channing, and she talked about one instance with Mary Martin and the THE SOUND OF MUSIC nuns getting air out on the fire escape of the theatre. NOW...in the book, Channing says that it was the fire escape that connected The Broadhurst (where she was in LEND AN EAR) to The Imperial (where she implied that Martin was starrting in THE SOUND OF MUSIC.) When thinking back, THE SOUND OF MUSIC only ever played at the Lunt-Fontainne and the Mark Hellinger. What on EARTH would Carol have been talking about?

I know, random, pointless, stupid question, but it made me think. I'm betting she just got her theatres wrong, but then again - there is no way a fire escape had even connected the Imperial to the Broadhurst to begin with....

That's what I figured, but then again, who knows...maybe during that time there actually was a bridge-like fire escape crossing the street. Who knows, it just got me thinking......
