Additional Details

Other Works:
You Never Know (1938). Opened at the Winter Garden on September 21st. Produced by Messrs. Shubert. From the play, Candlelight, by Siegfried Geyer. Directed by Rowland Leigh and George Abbott. Music and lyrics by Cole Porter. Additional music by Dana Suesse, Robert Katscher and Rowland Leigh, Alex Fogarty and Edwin Gilbert. Choreography by Robert Alton. Cast: Clifton Webb, Libby Holman, Rex O'Malley, Toby Wing, Lupe Velez, Ray Dennis, Truman Gaige, Charles Kemper and the Debonaires (see Harry Murray). Play closed after 73 performances. Despite the stellar talent involved (and several good songs, including 'At Long Last Love' and 'For No Rhyme or Reason'), this production was plagued with problems; Libby Holman and Lupe Velez despised each other (Velez constantly referred to Holman as the 'Joo Beech'), Abbott was brought in to doctor script and additional music was added and scenes were cut. The reviews were decidedly mediocre and although asked, Clifton Webb flatly refused to take the play on tour. more
