September 15th was final day for “Seven Brides For Seven Brothers” and stage revue.
So obviously a big miss with its paper mache sets, very miscast leading lady and cut songs. And right on the heels of the huge unexpected success of Seven Brides which looked even worse but had an ideal cast, much better choreography, a tight book and a sensational director coming into his own. As the big summer film the Hall knew Seven Brides was the winner.
Amazingly Makas was still the Hall’s pianist in the 70s at which point the 50s might as well have been the Jurassic era. It certainly was to me.
