ARTIST INFO: HAROLD ROME-BIO Composer and lyricist, Harold Rome was born in Hartford, Connecticut on May 27, 1908. He learned to play the piano in his childhood and performed with many dance bands during high school. Rome attended Trinity College and Yale University where he studied architecture. An excellent swing pianist, he joined the Yale University Orchestra and supported himself by playing in nightclubs and dance halls. After graduating from the Yale School of Architecture in 1929, the stock market. Unable to find work during the depression, he decided to try his luck as a musician. He wrote arrangements for various bands as well as shows for Green Mansions, a Jewish summer resort in the Adirondacks. On the basis of some of his Green Mansions songs, Louis Schaffer, the drama bead of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, commissioned him to compose the songs for a revue sponsored by the ILGWU, from whose ranks the performers were to come. The revue, titled Pins and Needles, opened on Broadway in 1937 at the tiny Princess Theatre. It originally played only on weekends, but it was so popular that it quickly added performances and moved to the larger Windsor Theatre. Pins and Needles ran for 1,108 performances, the longest run of any musical during the 1930’s. Songs from the production included "Sunday In the Park" and "Sing Me a Song of Social Significance," which reflected the new populist, socially conscious outlook that had come into existence during the first years of the Roosevelt administration. The Hudson-DeLange Orchestra with vocalist Mary McHugh recorded a version of "Sunday In the Park," which became Rome's first hit song. Legendary playwrights George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart admired Pins and Needles, and enlisted Rome to write the music for the topical Broadway revue Sing Out the News in 1938. One of the most popular numbers from the show was “FDR Jones”. The production was another success, however, World War II had broken out in Europe and Rome joined the US army special services, writing music and lyrics to entertain the troops. After his discharge from the army, he wrote the last of his social and political revues, Call Me Mister (1946), which celebrated the joys of civilian life and gave expression to the post-war euphoria sweeping the United States while poking fun at the altered society the veterans were coming home to. The most popular song from the show was "South Arnerica, Take It Away," which was most successfully recorded by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. The score also included a tribute to the late President Roosevelt, "The Face On the Dime." Call Me Mister Review by William Ruhlmann The musical revue Call Me Mister successfully commented on the immediate post-World War II period, opening on Broadway on April 18, 1946, and running 734 performances through January 10, 1948. (The title was a reference to returning soldiers, who expected to be addressed as civilians again instead of by their military rank.) Betty Garrettachieved stardom singing "South America, Take It Away," in which a USO hostess complains about rhumba rhythms (it became a pop hit when recorded by Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters), and she also had fun with "Little Surplus Me," which treated the same subject that had been addressed in the wartime hit "They're Either Too Old or Too Young," but in reverse; now, it was a woman in the military who was complaining about the lack of eligible males, instead of a woman back on the home front. "Military Life," sung by a trio of men, meanwhile, took a less than reverent look at veterans, noting that those who had gone into the service as jerks were still jerks now. The major male performer was Lawrence Winters, an African-American who expressed the point of view of his race (a point of view that would help lead to the civil rights movement) in such songs as "Going Home Train" and the tribute to recently deceased President Franklin Roosevelt "The Face on the Dime." Songwriter Harold Rome's score was thus on a par with his earlier Pins and Needles, and it was delivered by a talented cast. [When Decca reissued the original Broadway cast album of Call Me Mister on a 10" LP in 1950 (DLP-7005), the song "When We Meet Again" was edited, with its opening section and introductory verse deleted.] BETTY GARRETT N.Y. TIMES OBIT- Betty Garrett, the brassy comic actress who played Frank Sinatra’s ardent, taxi-driving pursuer in the movie “On the Town,” Archie Bunker’s liberal foil of a neighbor in "All In The Family” and a sardonic landlady in “Laverne & Shirley died on Saturday in Los Angeles. She was 91. The cause was an aortic aneurysm, her son Andrew Parks said. In a career covering more than six decades, Ms. Garrett was seen in everything from theatrical revues to nightclubs to television sitcoms, but she most beguiled film audiences in a number of standout supporting roles in the popular MGM musicals of the late 1940s. In “On the Town” (1949), she played a love-struck cabby, Brunhilde Esterhazy, who chases after an overwhelmed sailor (Sinatra), one of three sailors on a wartime leave in New York. (Gene Kelly and Jules Munshin were the other two.) While Sinatra is trapped in her cab hoping to see sights like Luchow’s restaurant and Radio City Music Hall, she pesters him in song to “Come Up To My Place” Earlier that year she played a lovestruck fan who swoons for Sinatra — wearing a baseball uniform instead of Navy whites — in “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” the story of a team in the sport’s younger days that is surprised when its new owner is a woman (Esther Williams). While one of the movie’s most memorable songs was “O’Brien to Ryan to Goldberg,” again with Kelly and Munshin joining Sinatra, Ms. Garrett had a lively turn in “It’s Fate, Baby, It’s Fate.” Just one year before, in 1948, Ms. Garrett had made a strong impression in a small role in “Words and Music,” a biographical film about Rodgers and Hart that highlighted the charm of their music. She played the girl who rejects Hart (Mickey Rooney) partly because he was short, but she gets to sing the classic “There’s a Small Hotel.” Her career stalled soon after these milestones because in 1951 her husband, Larry Parks, an actor who had played Al Jolson in the movie “The Jolson Story,” was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee and admitted he had been a member of the Communist Party between 1941 and 1945. He also identified other Hollywood professionals who had belonged. Choice roles dried up for both of them in the climate of the McCarthy-era America. “She was tarred with the same brush,” Andrew Parks said in a telephone interview. Her husband’s film career never quite recovered, but the couple began a two-decade circuit of summer stock and other theaters where they could perform together. Both also substituted in Broadway’s “Bells are Ringing,” with Ms. Garrett taking over from the show’s star, Judy Holliday, and Mr. Parks assuming the Sydney Chaplin role. According to Andrew Parks, Ms. Garrett often said, “If it hadn’t been for the blacklist , we probably would not have worked together as much.” Mr. Parks died in 1975. Besides her son Andrew, Ms. Garrett, who never remarried, is survived by another son, Garrett, and one grandchild. Ms. Garrett was able to resume work in the film industry by 1955, when Columbia Pictures had her star as Janet Leigh’s sister, Ruth, in a musical version of “My Sister Eileen” the story of two starry-eyed newcomers from Ohio who tackle the hurly-burly of New York out of a Greenwich Village basement apartment. “Miss Garrett has the proper skepticism and the right desperation for the role,” wrote Bosley Crowther in The New York Times. “Her way with a line is homicidal. What’s more she can dance and sing.” In the early 1970s, the television producer Norman Lear gave her perhaps her biggest break since her MGM days with a role in “ All In The Family.” Ms. Garrett and Vincent Gardenia played a couple who move next door to Archie and Edith Bunker. Her character, Irene Lorenzo, argued politics and social issues with the bigoted Archie, played by Carroll O’Connor. After two years on that series, Ms. Garrett moved to “Laverne & Shirley,” where she portrayed the oft-married landlord, Edna Babish, who lands Laverne's father. Born on May 23, 1919, in St. Joseph, Mo., Ms. Garrett was 3 when her parents moved to Seattle. After her parents divorced, she and her mother moved to New York. After winning a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse, she played some roles at a 1939 World’s Fair production and joined some acts at the Catskills stages, then received her first Broadway role as an understudy in Orson Welles’s Mercury Theater production of “Danton’s Death.” She was signed by the producer Michael Todd as Ethel Merman’s understudy in the 1943 Cole Porter musical “Something for the Boys” and then appeared in several other Broadway shows, including “Jackpot” and “Laffing Room Only.” Her big breakthrough came in 1946 with “Call Me Mister.” In that Broadway revue, she stopped the show with”South America, Take It Away” playing a U.S.O. hostess tired of America’s infatuation with Latin American dances like the rumba and samba. She continued working well into her 80s, appearing in the musical “Meet Me in St. Louis” on Broadway in 1989 and in Noël Coward’s “Waiting in the Wings” in 2007 in Los Angeles. Her final Broadway appearance came in 2001 in a revival of “Follies,” the Stephen Sondheim-James Goldman musical. She sang, appropriately, the much-loved anthem “Broadway Baby” — “I don’t need a lot,/Only what I got,/Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot” — nearly 60 years after landing her first Broadway role. A correction was made on Feb. 16, 2011 : Because of an editing error, an obituary on Monday about the actress Betty Garrett referred incorrectly to her tenure on the television series “All in the Family.” She left the show after two years, in 1975; the series did not end two years after she joined the cast as Irene Lorenzo. (“All in the Family” remained on the air until 1979.) NOTE: ONLY LIMITED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE VIRUS! HOPEFULLY THIS WILL CHANGE SOON.
