The fifth of a 25-part series
Michael Craig continues to foray into the world of the musical producer in the USA. This week:
The Shuberts (part 2)
PEGGY WOOD : There are clean desk people and dirty desk people. Lee Shubert had the cleanest desk I've ever seen. He had all kinds of shows at his fingertips and his desk was just as clean, as if it were new.'
ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT : ' Lee was more artistic than j.j. was. Lee had a great deal more sense of theatre than j.j. did. They were awful people to deal with - you just didn't get anything out of them at all.' J. FRED COOTS : 1 would say they proceeded along a certain line of acrimony. They didn't think of happiness, but of profits.'
And also the voices of: RAY BOLGER , IRVING CAESAR EVELYN LAYE , BEN OAKLAND
