...both Broadway and the movies - not that either medium took much notice. From 1937 to 1939 she appeared in nine two-reel musicals, made in New York for 20th Century-Fox and Warner Bros. And she hoofed in the chorus of shows with scores by some pretty sharp tunesmiths: Harold Rome (Sing Out the News), Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein (Very Warm for May ), Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (Higher and Higher) and Cole Porter (Panama Hattie). In three of those shows she shared stage space with Vera Ellen, who would join Allyson in MGM musicals; in another she played...

Foreign films had snob appeal and sex appeal. Or they...
...board of supervisors will take public comments. Lobbying will continue. "There's going to be a lot of rancorous debate," says Steve Falk, president of San Francisco's Chamber of Commerce. Should the mandate prevail, however, a legal challenge will surely follow, he warns, since hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses would be unfairly put at risk.
