Hello, Doctors!

The massive outdoor New York street set built on the 20th Century Fox lot for the 1969 production of Hello, Dolly was used for several subsequent productions, including this one. When Sam Groom and Tom Hallick materialized on the steps of the elevated train platform, I expected them to break into a chorus of "Before the Parade Passes By"!

The set could be clearly seen when passing the studio on Pico Boulevard in West Los Angeles. It was finally dismantled in the mid-1990s.



All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
