Around this production

Singer Betty Compton complained that her dressing room at the Lyric THEATER didn’t suit her stature as a star. She rectified the situation by calling her boyfriend, Mayor James J. Walker. The theater was hit with 6 code violations, and the show’s opening was threatened. Luckily, Helen Broderick, also starring in the show, agreed to switch dressing rooms.
