Gay Divorce (1932), a musical comedy by Dwight Taylor (book), Cole
Porter (music, lyrics). [
Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 248 perf.] To give her husband grounds for divorce, Mimi Pratt ( Clare Luce) arranges to be caught with the paid corespondent Tonetti ( Erik Rhodes). But Guy ( Fred
Astaire), who has fallen in love with Mimi, manages to get himself confused with the corespondent and uses the confusion to pursue his courtship.
Notable songs: Night and Day; After You, Who?; Mister and Missus Fitch. In Astaire's only Broadway appearance without his sister, both he and the show were greeted with a certain indifference at first. However, the popularity of “Night and Day” and Astaire's superb performance, his last on Broadway, turned the Dwight Deere
Wiman and Tom Weatherly production into a hit. Hollywood codes forced the film version to be called
The Gay Divorcée.
