There is a brief mention in the following of a change in My Fair Lady:
TOLERANCE WINS AT 'SOUTH PACIFIC'; Plea to L.I. Audience Turns Little Rock Boos to Cheers -- 'Venus at Large' Due Pot-Pourri of Theatre By LOUIS CALTA. New York Times (1857-Current file). Sep 12, 1957. p. 37 (1 page) Quoting: |The occasion marked the second time in a little more |than a year that a topical event has troubled a theatrical |enterprise. At the height of the Hungarian freedom revolt |last year, the management of "My Fair Lady" deleted for |a while a comic reference to a visitor from Budapest. The article is available from Proquest historical newspapers. It is possible that newspaper or magazines from 1956 (e.g., The New Yorker) might provide more details about whether it was a deletion or a substitution. -Mike Palij New York University [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
