Make it Magical SHOWS THAT OPENED ON THIS DATE: 1941 The Wookey with Edmund Gwenn 1959 The Crooked Mile opens at London's Cambridge Theater. There are164 performances of this musical by Peter Wildblood. This tale of about two SoHo street gangs starred Millicent Martin and Elisabeth Welch. ON THIS DAY IN: 1915 Fanny Brice is reviewed in Variety for her performance at the Palace. Variety says that when she "learns to refrain from starting to disrobe before she is out of sight of the audience, her new act will be a step -- several of them, in fact -- in the right direction." 1955 Actor James Arness brought Marshall Matt Dillon to life on this night in 1955. Gunsmoke debuted on CBS-TV and went on to become the longest-running (20 years) series on television. The pioneer in adult westerns also starred Milburn Stone as Doc Adams, Amanda Blake as Miss Kitty Russell, and Dennis Weaver as Chester Goode. Other well-known performers joined the cast throughout the years -- Ken Curtis as Festus Hagan and Burt Reynolds as Quint Asper, the town blacksmith, were two favorites. 1963 Twenty black students entered public schools in Birmingham, Tuskegee and Mobile, Ala., following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace, who resisted integration. 2000 NBC's "The West Wing" won a record nine Emmy awards, including best drama series. 2000 Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, after nearly 18 years has closed, setting the bar of long runs to a total of 7,485 performances. The final performance, held at 6 PM was for an invitation-only audience. I think I was 1 of 10 people living in NYC who didn't see this show.
