Composer Richard Rodgers, 35, and Lyric-Writer Lorenz Hart, 43, are the best-known words-&-music team on Broadway, with 24 shows behind them, including such hits as the two editions of the Garrick Gaieties, A Connecticut Yankee, On Your Toes, Babes in Arms, and the current I'd Rather Be Right. Their collaboration started when they wrote two Columbia Varsity shows (though Hart had already left Columbia), then drew their first salute from Broadway with the first Garrick Gaieties, in which Hart thumbed his nose at the June-moon school of lyrics, introduced such slick rhymes...
