HELLO LOLA

1925

Hello Lola is a three act musical by William B. Kernell (music) and Dorothy Donnelly (book and lyrics), based on the novel Seventeen by Booth Tarkington and the 1918 stage adaptation Seventeen by Hugh Stanislaus Stange and Stannard Mears. 

The musical takes place at the Baxter and Parcher homes in Indianapolis in 1900.In the story, Willie Baxter becomes infatuated with a Lola, a shallow, baby-talking minx visiting for the summer. The local girls see through her. When her visit is over, Willie is devastated, but his handyman Genesis convinces him that life goes on. 

The original production was produced by Lee and J.J. Shubert. It opened on Broadway at the Eltinge 42nd Street Theatre on January 12, 1926. On February 8th it moved to Maxine Elliott’s Theatre on 39th Street.  The musical closed on February 20, 1926 after just 47 performances.

To say that Lola’s road to Broadway was a bumpy ride would be an understatement. Even once at its destination, the musical didn’t settle down. 

The first performance was held at the Broad Street Theatre in Newark, New Jersey, on November 16, 1925. It stayed there for a week before moving south to Nixon’s Apollo Theatre in Atlantic City. It made one more stop in Washington DC before the Shuberts decided that the show would take a break for the holidays. 

Although initial out-of-town notices were kind, problems were apparent from the beginning. Although Lawrence Marston was credited as director on the road, his name was curiously absent once the show arrived in New York. Even the Shuberts left their name off the title page, a stunning ‘no confidence’ vote by Lola’s godfathers. This was painfully apparent by their choice of venue. A Shubert musical was unlikely to be plugged into the more intimate Eltinge. They quickly were shuffled off to 39th Street’s to die. With its out-of-the-way location and low patron cap, the Maxine Elliott was Lola’s hospice.  

The title role was initially played by Madeline Fairbanks, but she was fired on the road and replaced with Edythe Baker (above). Baker’s specialty was playing the piano, so the the score integrated a piano solo for her. This required the production to justify why there’s a piano on the lawn!  

“She can play the piano, but she can’t play Lola.” ~ BURNS MANTLE

The New York critics were not kind to Baker (one calling her “a total loss”) and she left the show a few days in. She was replaced by her understudy, who was playing May Parcher. When Baker went, so did her grass-side piano solos. 

Baker wasn’t the only one maligned by the punters. Marjorie White, who played Willie’s sweet younger sister Jane, was called ““a miniature Texas Guinan” and compared to Sophie Tucker. The best the crix could say about her was that she was “vociferous”. 

The New York Times called the casting “a weirdly assembled collection of principals”. The score, while not offensive, was not memorable. Except for “My Baby-Talk Lady” which was sung no less than four times in the evening. That’s one more time than standard advertising messages. 

The other complaint was that the teenagers of the story (remembering the title of the source material) were mostly played by adults. White Way wags dubbed the show Booth Tarkington’s “Thirty-Seven”. The press urged Tarkington’s friends to keep him away. [Note: The above blind item about a raid by the Gerry Society (aka New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children founded by Elbridge T. Gerry), may have been facetiously apocryphal.] 

Apocryphal or not, at the beginning of February the production reacted by doing a chorus swap. 

After saying goodbye Broadway, Hello Lola said hello Brooklyn, decompressing at the Majestic, but not venturing any further. 

Possibly the only cast member to be the right age was seventeen year-old Margaret Brooke Sullavan, who made her Broadway debut as Miss Boke. To get her “big break” she lied about her age, telling producers she was a few years older than she actually was. During her career, she preferred stage to screen, but in 1939 she was nominated for an Oscar for Three Comrades. Her husbands included Henry Fonda, William Wyler, and Leland Hayward. 

Ensemble member Sylvia Carol was depicted in several provocative photos subtitled “Relaxing on the set of ‘Hello Lola’”.  

In an attempt to right the sinking SS Lola, two popular songs were interpolated into the score: “Has Anybody Seen My Gal?” and “That Certain Party,” both sung by Jay C. Flippen as Genesis, the Baxter’s caretaker. In 1925, this was a ‘burnt cork part’ (aka blackface). Flippen had been discovered by famed African-American comedian Bert Williams, and also served as his replacement in a previous show. Flippen went on to a prolific career in films and television. 

Despite the failure of Hello Lola, the source material still had life in it. In 1940 there was a feature film starring Jackie Cooper and Betty Field. 

In 1951, the Shuberts tried again with a new musical version of Seventeen starring Kenneth Nelson and Ann Crowley. It was adapted by Sally Benson (Junior Miss) with music by Walter Kent and lyrics by Kim Gannon. It bested its predecessor’s run by 135 performances. 

Booth Tarkington died in 1946, so he was spared a second failed musical of Seventeen, which was also (as of this writing) the last Broadway credit with his name attached. His greatest success on stage was 1918′s Clarence, which ran 300 performances and started in Atlantic City! But that’s another blog.

Wind in the Tree Tops, 1935, Emily Carr

For fifteen years she camped out in cabins, tents, log huts, tool sheds, lighthouses, boathouses and garages. She told Ira Dilworth that the most outstanding event in her life was: “the buying of an old caravan trailer which I had towed to out-of-the-way corners where I sat self-contained with dogs, monk and work – Walt Whitman and others on the shelf – writing in the long, dark evenings after painting”. Emily purchased the “Elephant”, as she called the caravan trailer, from Hugh McAlpine in July 1933. The “Elephant” spent its first winter “bedded down opposite the Four Mile House in a quiet pasture”. In May 1934 the “Elephant” was towed to Metchosin where it remained at different locations until 1938 when Emily sold it.

Practical considerations influenced the choice of sites: the “Elephant” had to be hauled to a level roadside site. Friends’ farms in Metchosin often served as a location. Emily painted quite ordinary scenes: a landscape near a road, a small wood above a gravel pit, logged over hillsides viewed from Metchosin Road. Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher, a young painter friend who often accompanied Emily on painting trips, writes: “What people do not realize is that Emily could sit in front of a clump of trees and paint a forest”.
