The New Yorker - when life was less serious

Posted by:	NewtonUK 12:41 pm EDT 09/08/14

Reading thru the New Yorker archives is always a treat. In January 1929, a musical called POLLY played the Lyric. The last line of Charles Brackett's review reads - "The costumes are strikingly hideous, and there's something lacking which used to be regarded as rather essential to musical shows when I was young. I think they called it sex.' Charles Brackett may be familar to you. He won the Oscar for the screenplays of Sunset Boulevard, The Lost Weekend, and Ninotchka.
