…but during rehearsals, not post opening.
In Rodgers and Hart’s JUMBO, Ella Logan was slated for the female lead. She was let go and replaced by Gloria Grafton. Grafton had been singing in nightclubs; she also was in a 1934 play called KILL THE STORY in which she sang a song. That play was directed by JUMBO’s director, George Abbott…..who just happened to be having an affair with Grafton.
Laura in LA, still hanging around in the thirties… |
