KEEP THEATRE OBITUARIES Just since our last issue, we have lost Peggy Cass, who will be forever remembered as Agnes Gooch of Auntie Mame, and her appearance in Thurber Carnival, Sir Harry Sommers, musician/composer husband of Barbara Chilcott (sister of the famous Donald and Murray Davis of the Crest Theatre days; Ann Corio, one of the leading burlesque queens of her day, at 85 years of age. She brought her show "This is Burlesque," to the Royal Alexandra sever al times, with a number of burlesque headliners , the brilliant Garson Kanin, playwright and director, married to Ruth Gordon, with whom he wrote, and after her death in 1985, married to actress Marian Seldes in 1990, at the age of 76. Mr. Kanin will be forever remembered for Born Yesterday with Judy Holliday, directing Diary of Anne Frank, Do Re Mi with Phil Silvers, and Funny Girl with Barbra Streisand. He also directed many films and wrote Adam's Rib, The Marrying Kind and Pat and Mike, It Should Happen to You, The Girl Can't Help It, The Rat Race, and The Right Approach, Gratien Gelinas, one of Canada's great theatre personalities, whom I had the privilege of seeing in Yesterday the Children Were Dancing. He was married to actress Huguette Oligny. Composer Ernest Gold whose scores graced such films as Too Much Too Soon, On the Beach, Exodus (Academy Award), Inherit the Wind, Judgment at Nuremberg, A Child is Waiting, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Ship of Fools, and many, many more. Lionel Bart, English lyricist and composer of Oliver, Fings Aint What They Used To Be, and Maggie May. He put English musicals back on the map with Oliver, at a time when the British musical was near extinct. It is said that Mr. Bart could not read music. Film Actor Michael Caine, of a heart attack, probably best remembered for Alfie, The Ipcress File,Sleuth, California Suite (my personal favourite in the scene with Maggie Smith), Educating Rita and Hannah and Her Sisters. They will all be sadly missed. .Per Section 301, Paragraph (a)(2)(C) of S. 1618, further transmissions to you by the sender of this email may be stopped at no cost to you by sending a reply to this email address with the word "remove" in the subject line.

Born in Russia and emigrating to America while a boy, Irving took jobs as singing waiters, and began composing songs. In 1911 he won gre at recognition for Alexander's Ragtime Band, followed by complete scores for Watch Your Step (14); Stop Look and Listen (15); Century Girl (16); Cohan Revue of 1918; Yip Yip Yaphank (18) which featured Oh How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning and Mandy; Zie g feld Follies of 1919. In 1921 he built the Music Box Theatre and started his own series of revues; others were the Marx Brothers, The Cocoanuts (25); Ziegfeld Follies of 1927; Face the Music (32); As Thousands Cheer (33); Louisiana Purchase (40); This is the Army (42); Annie Get Your Gun with the legendary Ethel Merman (46), which was his biggest hit show; Miss Liberty (49); Call Me Madam again with Ms. Merman (50); Mr President, which was a great effort but (62) ended his career with the critics dismissing the show completely. Jerome Kern said "Irving Berlin has no place in American music, he IS American music. - Keep -Vote for your Favourite Websites: http://www.worldcharts.nl/ gvote.html?add=[1234] **************************************************************************** ****** KEEP -
