Who was in it5 named

Robert B Mantell

Fritz Leiber
Genevieve Reynolds

0 of these 5 names have a person record behind them and link to one. The other 5 are set from the identifier in the cast list, which is a slug of the name, so hyphens and full stops are lost and a few come out wrong. We hold nothing else about them. Nobody here is matched to a character: the cast list records who was in the company and not what they played.

Producer

William A. Brady

A producer is one string on this record, however many people or companies it names. Directors and choreographers are held both as text and as identifiers; where an identifier exists the name links to a page.
