...those six, the two biggest hits carried the names of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Indeed, during the past three years they have continuously-except for one lone week-had a smash hit on Broadway. Last week, their / Married An Angel, entering its fifth month, grossed over $28,681-a new high-and averaged 80 standees a performance. This week, road-show rehearsals start on I'd Rather Be Right after its summer holiday. A week or two hence rehearsals will start on a third Rodgers & Hart show, The Boys from Syracuse, which they are doing with Playwright-Producer...
Method and Madness. True to the best tradition of collaborators, Rodgers & Hart are not at all alike.

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...
