Lena Horne Cancels Broadway Show After Lighting Accident
Singer Lena Horne canceled a performance of The Lady and Her Music on Thursday night after a metal frame with heavy lights dropped about 10 feet from where she stood. Spokesman Bruce Cohen said she was shaken but uninjured and more upset about missing the show. A 2-inch-thick metal strip and lighting fixtures fell from a high frame, prompting technicians to shut down the act for several hours. Also in brief, Rex Harrison discussed plans to reprise Higgins in Boston and New York, Aliza Begin left Hadassah Hospital after two weeks of circulatory treatment, and Old Dominion University announced an MBA program admitting experienced managers without undergraduate degrees.
