Vanities, Thy Producer is Earl

Today's Notable Opening Night is Aug. 27, 1931, when the latest round of Earl Carroll's Vanities opened at the now-demolished Earl Carroll Theatre. The show reopened the Carroll, which was actually a new building at the old venue's address. The Carroll lasted for less than a year in Earl's hands before becoming the property of Florenz Ziegfeld, and later Billy Rose, and later than tat, Woolworth's. In 1931, the Vanities marked the Broadway debut of Burton Lane (Finian's Rainbow, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever).

Artists and Models and Your Own Thursday Headlines

This week's Notable Opening Night is Aug. 20, 1923, when the first Artists and Models revue opened at the Shubert. The revue was something of an off-Broadway transfer, having originated in Greenwich Village. In five productions from 1923-26, 1927-28, and a month in 1930, Artists and Models was a way to see topless and naked women on Broadway. Perhaps my friend, the lady who digs death, would love seeing a production?

Next week, a sharp-dressed show.
