A (hopefully) quick question. I've been doing some research off and on for the past couple of years on a NY nightclub performer of the 30's and 40's, Dwight Fiske. My eyes almost popped out of my head a little while ago when "Adam's Rib", the comedy with Tracey and Hepburn, was rerun on NC public TV. I hadn't realized it before, but the charcter (who's name escapes me) that's a friend of Hepburn -- the guy who sings and does commentary on their "home movies" -- seemed to be doing Fiske's routine. I'm curious if Fiske might have been considered for a role in the film and where some archival materials on the production (MGM?) might be located. Come to think of it, there was one article on Fiske in Time magazine, I believe, some months before the film was released -- it was a kind of human interest piece, the kind of fluff that a good studio publicity agent might arrange for.
