Broadway Vitality and Kinship in New York’s Show Scene
In New York a host of descendants of famed figures appear in backstage life and performances. Betty Washington, a direct descendant of John Augustine Washington, stars as a vaudeville actress with the Federal Theatre Project, while Dana Boone carries on the Dan’l Boone name in a Front of a Hand act. Faith Bacon, claiming Sir Francis Bacon lineage, dances at the Riviera, and Marilyn Brandenburg traces Sweden’s kings. Other figures include Gypsey Grant, Tallulah Bankhead’s famed lineage, Nancy Garner in Cactus Jack, and Ellen Patti with Adelina as a great-aunt. Speakeasies linger in city districts with camouflaged façades, yet many operate legally, while promoters dole free passes to gain favor. A Times Square anecdote features a donut shop dunking pass, and Ethel Merman recounts a beggar’s coffee plea, prompting a humorous riff on tipping and percolators. Manny Hart, father of Moss Hart, moves backstage, with sons Bernard and others involved in management and shows.
