Musical Interlude: How about some Lena? Her last recording session (although there's talk that another happened) gave us some gems. Sure, her voice wasn't what it once was, but she still had attitude and her voice and delivery reflected her experience. Here's a delightful Cole Porter song.
"It's All Right with Me," performed by Lena Horne.

In 1932, the Great Depression had reached its peak, with unemployment in the US alone topping out at 24.9%. (Right now in 2025 it’s at 4.4%.)
Amelia Earhart’s triumphant solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean gave the papers some positive news to print, as well as Franklin D. Roosevelt beating out Herbert Hoover for the role of US president.
The big band sound and jazz dominated the music scene, with Cole Porter’s song “Night And Day” sung by Fred Astaire being the biggest hit of the year.

I was in this lovely #review of #ColePorter #songs. Six of us & a #trio. I got to do some #partnering, a hip lift, she was in a circle skirt, LOL. My favorite part was in #act two when the #character woman Anita was #belting some shit out, down center on the bottom stair & at just the right moment, they pushed from behind & the #audience saw for the first time that it was on wheels & when I saw it from the house in #rehearsal I got #goosebumps. Happiest decades of my life, doing live #theatre.
