There have been I believe a few postings of Kong at the Music Hall but I included this one because in the upper left hand corner you can see a listing for the Broadway production of The Gay Divorce with Fred Astaire at the Shubert Theater on W44th St when he introduced the song Night and Day. Reduced prices to keep the show running. At the end of the year his first film with Ginger Rogers and the first Christmas film at the Music Hall would be Flying Down to Rio. When did he get the time to make it? They made films fast. He would never return to Broadway.
The Gay Divorce with the less offensive title The Gay Divorcee would of course eventually play at the Hall as well.
Can you imagine a time in New York when you could go to an early matinee of Kong at the Music Hall with a stage show and then in the evening see Fred Astaire on Broadway in a Cole Porter musical. Incredible.
