Opened on December 19th, 1940, with “No, No, Nanette” on screen. A week later, the RKO musical was replaced by “The Philadelphia Story,” which continued with the Christmas stage show through December 29th. Just in time for New Year observances, the MGM release received all-new stage support on December 30th with “Pan-Americana,” a spectacular tribute to “the republics below the Rio Grande.”
What a peculiar schedule. Nanette must be the only time until Mr Billion for the Music Hall to have pulled a film but kept the stage show. And then to switch the stage show on a day other than a Thursday? That I assume is a singular event in the Hall’s history.
