Harry Frazee - Post-Ownership

Post-Ownership

The 1925 play, No, No, Nanette had originated as a non-musical stage play called My Lady Friends, which opened on Broadway in December 1919. That play had, indeed, been financed as a direct result of the Ruth sale to the Yankees and that "Harry Frazee was the bad guy", after all. However, he ignored the fact that, according to the Internet Broadway Database, after the production of My Lady Friends and long before No, No, Nannette went into production in 1925, Frazee produced two other very successful plays, Dulcy (1921-1922) and Her Temporary Husband, facts that call Montville's conclusion into question.
