| I took my mother to see GOOD NEWS at the Fisher in Detroit; She enjoyed the show, but, Just as my Father said when I took him to see HOLLY GOLIGHTLY in Boston, "It won't last long in New York". There was what I thought was a staged forgotten- Lines thing, which the audience got a big kick out of. Marti Rolph has some nice ballads, But what I enjoyed most was the Varsity Drag dance, and especially Stubby Kaye, There was even, a la SHAKESPEARE IM LOVE, a bit with a dog(And Stubby Kaye).i | |

| I had seen Follies twice, so Rolph was the person in the show I was especially excited to see. In 1973, boomers (like me) in our early 20s didn't really know Alice Faye very well from TV. Though I did know the film, and "Varsity Drag." Stubby Kaye was sort of musical theater history, but the two stars were from our parents' generation. Makes sense that the post above would have been a night out for older folk. | |

| Boomers knew John Payne every Christmas from "Miracle on 34th Street", even if his other films weren't shown that much pre-TCM channel. Most old movies on television ran very late at night and were chiefly from MGM. There were some Universal horror movies and some Abbott and Costello films and some Shirley Temple films from Fox and some other exceptions, but most old films shown were from MGM. | |

| Wanted to be a No No Nannette and fell flat. The Song you "You'll Never Know" -sung by Alice Faye was featured in the movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and that movie and GOOD NEWS came out about the same time. I always put the two together. | |
