A Johnson favorite, especially after her Hello, Dolly! number was appropriated for his 1964 campaign theme, Channing is currently appearing in one of the show's road productions. But she and other cast members took time out-"Operation Big Daddy," she dubbed it-to put on an abridged version for the President and his guests, who included most leading Washington luminaries, as well as such show-biz notables as Douglas Fairbanks...
