It is also interesting for a glimpse of the sort of entertainment available at the time. Two different updated versions of The Mikado, Raymond Massey;a great performance as Abe Lincoln, (later) Dame Judith Anderson, the wildly successful slapstick review Hellzapoppin which was still playing years later. Also the now forgotten lawsuit against Walt Disney for supposedly stealing the idea for Fantasia is discussed. A very different world.
A "Swing" version and a "Hot" version, with Bill Robinson.
Also two versions of Awake and Sing, by Clifford Odets. Other important names represented: George Bernard Shaw (Androcles and the Lion), Cole Porter (Leave it to Me!, with Sophie Tucker)
