| I marvel at your acumen and the invaluable addition that Ovrtur is to my life :). I don't think any detail is too obscure for inclusion! That must have been a very happy company to be in if so many principles stayed with it for so long. I would imagine Tucker would have been a big part of that, since it can't be much fun sharing a stage with an unhappy star. I always forget Davey Burns was the original Mayor Shinn, since Paul Ford is such an indelible presence in the movie. Did Ford never play Horace Vandergelder? It seems such a perfect fit! I guess he was busy with Never Too Late when Dolly! was being prepped but he was a fixture on broadway through the early 1970s and even replaced John McGiver as The Mayor at the end of the run of that very starry Robert Ryan/Bert Convy The Front Page (when the replacements are Dody Goodman, Butterfly McQueen, Maureen O'Sullivan and Molly Picon, that's a show I'd want to see again). |

| Paul Ford, hopefully you are aware, played Horace in the film "The Matchmaker"opposite Shirley Booth. They're both great. | |

| You might be hopeful, but I had forgotten. (I've never actually seen it.) | |

| You're also missing Anthony Perkins and Shirley MacLaine at their most charming, as Cornelius and Irene. Plus Robert Morse is adorable in his stage role of Barnaby. | |
