Theatre History

I just came across this neat picture while looking for pictures for avatars and thought everyone might like it. It's an old picture of Baby June and Louise (the girl who later became Gypsy Rose Lee and the subject of the musical "Gypsy"). The boy must have been part of their vaudeville act. I love that musical and thought this picture of the actual girls was interesting.

You should read some of the books by Gypsy Rose Lee. There's lots of pictures of all of them in there. She mentions that June's hair was "basically" blonde even before their mother "blonded it up" with peroxide!!

The natural condition of the theatre business is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. However, as strange and unbelievable as it sounds, it always turns out well. No one knows why this is. It’s a mystery.
